"Vanilla extract" usually isn't made with real vanilla. The good news is that it's really easy--and affordable--to make your own.

I love this recipe! It can be used as a sauce for grilled meats, a dressing for salads or steamed vegetables, or as a marinade for tofu or other lean proteins. You will always find it in my refrigerator.

Use this spicy, creamy sauce on pretzels, on sandwiches or even on a baked sweet potato.

I love ranch dressing, but it's so heavy! Here's a lighter version that also happens to be vegan. You can substitute regular low-fat mayonnaise and skim milk for the coconut milk and vegan mayo.

This is my go-to dressing. I use it on everything from steamed veggies to salads and sandwiches.
