StraightUPFood
Blogger:
Cathy Fisher, a chef and teacher
Blogging since: 2010
Location: Sonoma County, California

Theme: Recipes that are vegan, without salt, oil or sugar and using very few processed foods.
From the blog: "This blog is full of recipes and information on how to eat a plant-based diet that is free of salt, oil and sugar. Recipes focus on the use of whole foods (still in their naturally grown state) except for a handful of minimally processed foods used for convenience (canned beans, frozen produce, non-dairy milks). Recipes are all vegan, meaning they don't call for any animal foods or ingredients. Where applicable I note substitutions to lower fat and eliminate gluten."
