Mango Lime Confetti Slaw
Mangoes add a tropical feel to any savory dish they’re added to. With no added oil, gluten-free and soy-free this colorful slaw will fit into almost any diet.
The slaw is simple to make. Just combine mango pulp or fresh mango chunks in a food processor with lime juice and a few spices. Whirl it up and it’s ready to go. Okay, there are a few more steps, but it’s just about that easy.

Cincinnatichili is similar to a regular meaty chili except it hasunusualspices that you see more in pumpkin pie than an all-American stew. Traditionally it’s a meat chili that has kidney beans as an optional topping as well as shredded cheese and onions. Then oddly enough it’s served over pasta.
This one uses vegan ground and the lentils for the meaty texture. But don’t worry there’s a gluten-free and a soy-free option! Theunusualspices blend...

Cooling Summer Watermelon Gazpacho
Watermelon is one of the mostrefreshingtreats of summer. Add it into a chilled soup and you have the best hot weather meal ever!
I have to admit that my favorite way to enjoy watermelon is southern style. A big slice of juicy watermelon in one hand, dripping down my arm, and a salt shaker in the other hand. Yes, I grew up eating salted watermelon. People who’ve never heard of it cringe, but those that have tasted it know the salt actually makes it taste a little sweeter.
