This week I decided to go back to my tried and true lentils. Can't go wrong with these. This recipe is a version of chef Sanjeev Kapoor's signature dish. This recipe is creamy and hearty as well as spicy. The recipe will only work with the lentil types that are listed, which are urad and [...]

Indian Spiced Tofu Black Bean Burger
I am always drawn the veggie burger recipes. I can't get enough of them. I like to try different recipes and note what worked and what didn't. When I made my Southwest Veggie Burger, the taste was spot on. However, it did not stay together well. That seems to be the case with a lot [...]
Loubyeh b’zeit (Vegetarian Green Bean Stew)
Now, I'm not going to tell you I can pronounce the name of this recipe. This is a Lebanese green bean stew. It's also a very simple dish that could be made on a week night. Lately on Sundays, I have been helping my husband with our new to us house. It was his childhood [...]
Sundubu Jjigae (Korean Spicy Soft Tofu Stew)
I chose a Korean dish this week because it was simple to make with lots of flavor. Also, this dish was not a dish that would be overly salty. I started with a recipe from My Korean Kitchen and made some changes. Typically Asian dishes use a lot of salty ingredients. This one does not [...]
Red-Red
This week's recipe hails from Ghana. This is a West African dish that uses black-eyed peas. It only has a few ingredients that makes a great stew. I started with a recipe from Camellia, which sells dried beans. Not sponsored, BTW. Red-Red is a recipe that stews the beans in a tomato sauce with smoked [...]

Fried rice isn't just for your typical Asian dishes, it can fit into so many cuisines. This one is an Indian-based recipe. When [...]
My version of a Southwest Veggie Burger
I decided this week I would try my hand at creating my own veggie burger. There are so many things I want in a veggie burger, texture, flavor, heat, and having it have plenty of protein. Also, the most important thing: holding together. I started by using red lentils as a base. They are starchy [...]
Green Lentils and Rice Assyrian Style
This recipe is really simple this week. That's kind of where I'm at this week. With my schedule changing again, I'm not in the mood for any more complexities. Now this doesn't mean I want a boring recipe. Some of the simplest recipes can be flat out amazing. I wanted the most bang for my [...]
Rajma
Here in Michigan, we are still closed down until the through part of June. You may have also heard in the news there have been high infection rates at meat processing plants. This makes eating meat a dangerous prospect. It is a good time to work on new vegetarian recipe. I am using dry kidney [...]
A Skinny Seitan “Danielle”
I am working on more ways to use beans. This recipe totally transforms them. This is loosely based on Chicken Danielle, but when I looked at the recipe, it was as unhealthy as it comes. Canned soup, lack of vegetables, sky high calories and sodium, low macros. The healthiest thing about the recipe was the [...]
