We are in full-on fall mode over here! It has finally cooled off, so we are pulling out all of our fall pieces! We just got this really cute black quilted vest and chain hat from Walmart. Both are such S T E A L S, and are great to mix and match with other things in your closet.

We paired this vest with these stretchy legging jeans (wearing size 2) and this white tee actually comes in a pack of 2 (black and white, so they’re perfect for layering!)

For reference, we are wearing size s in the vest and t-shirt.

We have been finding so many cute things at Walmart , where this whole look is from! We love that their pieces are trendy, and budget-friendly! Another plus is that some some of their pieces ship free with two-day shipping.

And, since we have been getting some questions about how we cook with no oil, we thought we would share some of our tips with you all!

Sautéing

This is what we typically do the most when we are cooking dinner. We don’t use any oil or butter when we are sautéing vegetables. Our trick is we use a good non-stick pan, little bit of water, or occasionally vegetable broth. We use abut 1-2 tablespoons of liquid at a time. If we are steaming our vegetables, we will add a lot more water and put a lid over the pan to let the food steam.

Make sure you are stirring and moving the food around so it doesn’t stick.

Baking

For baking, a lot of recipes call for fats like oils or butter. We like to replace those with unsweetened applesauce, mashed banana, or sometimes pureed pumpkin. Sometimes, you can even use nut butters. There are time we do use oil, and in those cases, we will use coconut oil.

Roasting

For the longest time, we always felt like we had to use oil when we were roasting food in the oven. You really don’t need to! The trick is to put a lot of seasonings and herbs, and to cook them longer. Also, you can add a little vegetable broth or lemon juice to your vegetables or food if you want! For this, we love using parchment paper because food doesn’t stick.

We also love using our air-fryer with no oil to get food more crispy!

Other tips

We also love cooking with things like tomatoes and garlic because they release water when cooking so you don’t even need to add water sometimes when you are sautéing with those foods.
