I have LOVED this website for years! As a vegetarian, I appreciate the massive amount of entree and side recipes that I can eat, and are made with ingredients i can easily find. Easy to follow recipes and helpful extras are everywhere on this website. Keep up the exceptional work!

I have found a pressure cooker to be a time saving kitchen essential. I can cook a whole chicken or pot roast in 30 minutes or less. To be clear, a pressure cooker is not to used as a pressure canner which is a larger and more expensive appliance.

In reply to Mari. Unfortunately, we don't have the proper credentials to be labeling recipes according to specific health or medical needs, and the nutrition data that we provide is only a general estimate, so we can't definitively say something is low cholesterol, low sodium, etc.

So glad I stumbled on to your site, and am planing to cook the Mexican lime soup tomorow.
Any chance you will/ or can label recipes that are type 2 or pre diabetic friendly, and low cholesterol or options to reduce cholesterol. It seems that more and more people have one or both of these conditions and it is very labour intensive to find recipes that work when having friend over with these conditions that are budget friendly most seem to be keto based which is loaded with expensive ingredients.

Thank you for your modest, common-sense recommendations. I did splurge on a Vitamix for smoothies and soups, and, as a bachelor, I find an Instant-Pot to be a great set it and forget tool.

In reply to Kat. The pan in the breakfast tacos recipe is a ceramic Greenpan. Honestly, I don't like it very much so that's why I don't have it linked. The ceramic coating got damaged very quickly and I don't like the way it retains heat (it almost holds heat TOO much, making things burn very quickly).

What is the pan used for making scrambled eggs? As in the hummus egg tacos or breakfast burritos recipes. I don’t see it in this list. I finally bought the oxo pan seen in so many recipe photos and LOVE it. So I’d like to take a look at whatever pan is used for the scrambled eggs. Thanks!

You have a dead link for the food processor

I’ve found a rice cooker to be incredibly helpful (rice is a staple in my largely gluten free household) – I know I could cook in it a pot, but I struggle with not burning it. (I also love that mine will keep the rice warm for up to 24h so I can slack off for a while on putting leftovers away.)

I’m interested in what food processor you use, but the link is broken. Will you update that, please? Thank you!

I would definitely recommend an Instant Pot or a pressure cooker. They are a life saver when in a hurry and time is of the essence. I will never boil another egg, it is soo easy and fast to make hard cooked eggs, and shells don’t ever crack! Electric pressure cookers are a God send, don’t know how I lived without one for so long!!
