I can't seem to get enough bean recipes. Dry beans are no sweat with the Instant Pot. Throw the dry beans in the pot with the rest of the ingredients and after 35 minutes of cook time, they are perfectly cooked, even if they are old. Using the traditional cooking method, sometimes I would get [...]
Happy New Year everyone! Let's hope this year goes better than the last. Hopefully you have learned about building your own workout station at home. With COVID, it's a good excuse not to give the gym your hard earned money. Make sure who you follow is legit too. Anyone can say they are professionals, but [...]
Today I am combining two recipes for Golabki. Sometimes I get an idea for a cuisine that I haven't made in a while and do a search. I was really interested in Polish this time because the Polish Bigos turned out so well. Golabki is a Polish cabbage roll that is placed in a tomato [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
This recipe is from the America's Test Kitchen Complete Vegetarian Cookbook. As you have heard me say before, I love lentils. Lentils cook quickly and are a great source of protein. I now have 50 pounds of lentils because dry beans have been hard to come by. With a lot of people hoarding dry beans, [...]
I haven't made our recipe for Hoppin' John for a while because we have moved to becoming vegetarians. Traditional Hoppin' John contains pork. I love pork, but there had to be a way to make a vegetarian version. Leave it to Connesserus Veg to get a solid recipe to start with. There are black eyed [...]
It's been getting busier and busier since the coronavirus outbreak has been ramping up. Now I'm working weekends so I need to have meals that are quick and healthy. Just because you may be busy, doesn't mean that you can't eat healthy. One of the reasons I do this blog is to help others with [...]
This week I am doing a brand new recipe. One that is based off of Chicken Ghee Roast. It's basically chicken roasted in a lovely butter based Indian masala. I wanted to make my own version using a lentil roast made into meatballs. Tony has asked me to lay off the tofu this week, so [...]
