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 [...]

Vegan Chorizo
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 [...]
Turkey Pho
Now that I have that lovely turkey frame, I needed something fun to do with it. I am surprised I never though of Pho. Pho (that's pronounced like duh, not like go) is a great brothy comforting soup that is spicy and meaty and perfect for a turkey frame. When looking for a recipe to [...]
Healthy Cornbread Salad
I'm going to take on last hurrah with the oven before it gets too hot. This recipe is a complete remake of Chili Cornbread Salad from Taste of Home. I had a feeling if I just replaced a few ingredients the portion size would end up too small. I want to avoid that. I love [...]
Zucchini Burgers with Lentils
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 [...]
Loco Moco with Lentil Mushroom Gravy
The week, I am giving you a quick recipe that just sounded fun. Plus, I need to keep going through my surplus of meals. This recipe is not freezer friendly. I saw the recipe for Loco Moco on Foodwishes and I just decided to make my own version of it. If you are not familiar [...]
A lower sodium corned beef and vegetables
I asked my coworker if there was any recipe she would like me to transform. The first thing she said was corned beef. At first I bawked at the idea. Corned beef is a cured meat. There was no way to make that low sodium. Then I actually took a look around. I ran into [...]
Roasted Cauliflower Tacos
I love Rick Bayless. He is someone who has embraced Mexican culture and the food. He make many authentic recipes and posts them on his YouTube channel and on his website. Every time I fly through Chicago O'hare airport, I make sure I stop by Fontera Grill. It's a wonderful change of pace from the [...]
Harira
Chock this up to another recipe I have never heard of. I am giddy when there is a recipe that is brand new to me. When you look around the world for cuisine, what may be common to them is new to those of us who don't live in the culture. Harira is a recipe [...]
Cauliflower Carbonara
I decided to go back and try another pasta dish. I was intrigued by a recipe from Epicurious for Cauliflower Carbonara. Carbonara is that pasta sauce made by emulsifying eggs and bacon fat along with a healthy dose of cheese. All things good. However, a little unhealthy, and I'm not talking about the eggs. It's [...]
