This week is another simple recipe. I've been so busy the last few weeks, complicated recipes are not going to happen. When I ran across this recipe for Crunchy Thai Peanut and Quinoa Salad from Cookie and Kate, I knew I had to adapt it. In our house I cannot go wrong with anything made [...]
The recipe for this post is more about making some vegan cheese than the recipe itself. The recipe is awesome. America's Test Kitchen does a lot of really great recipes. They recently posted a recipe for Egyptian Barley Salad and I knew I could make some adjustments and turn this from a side dish to [...]
I have been exploring more vegan dishes lately. Not because I want to become a vegan. I like eggs and cheese too much for that. Since I have recently become dairy-free, the best place to look for recipes is with the vegans. I will never give up all of my animal products, but they do [...]
I will admit, I wanted to do something easy this week. Lentils are always a good choice for that. When I ran into a recipe from Better Homes and Gardens for Mediterranean Lentils, I was intrigued. Vegetarian, cold, and healthy. Perfect for Summer, and of course, easy. What was interesting was that the stats online [...]
I would have never been inspired to make this dish if it wasn't for my trip to Denver recently. I'm talking about my wonderful meals at City O' City. I've had plenty of the type of fried fish fillet sandwich with cheese and soft breading we know and love. I'm not ashamed to admit that [...]
Yes, another veggie burger recipe. I have been running into a bunch of them to try. I just can't help myself. This burger recipe is an Indian inspired burger recipe called the Brick Lane burger from Jamie Oliver. One thing I liked about right off the bat is that it was already gluten free. It [...]
America's Test Kitchen has done it again with a burger recipe that is a veggie burger that looks like meat. No, it's not an impossible burger, but a burger made with beets. If your first thought is that beets are yucky, just wait until you try these burgers. I don't care for beets myself, but [...]
Now that we are in the beginning stages of warm weather, I thought it would be a great time for another veggie burger recipe. I am always looking for a good veggie burger recipe because eating a burger made with meat is too many calories. A standard hamburger patty is about 480 calories. And that's [...]
I decided to do another vegetarian recipe this week. This one is a bit spicy, but also flavorful and comforting. Of course I love this dish because it is based on the lentil, one of my favorite vegetarian proteins. I believe the lentil is a good gateway protein into vegetarian eating for those who want [...]
I love Italian recipes that show the diversity of the cuisine. I think many people think of Italian cuisine as the stuff you get at the Olive Garden. That's all good stuff. No argument from me there. However, America's Test Kitchen posted their version of Pasta e Ceci or pasta with chickpeas. Chickpeas are more [...]
