Kale Chestnut Pesto
I love Costco. I find things there I cannot find anywhere else. This past weekend I discovered these shelled chestnut meats. I was euphoric. I loved roasted chestnuts as a girl – in fact the last time I ate them I was probably a tween. The fact that all I have to do is open …
Shrimp with Vegan Jambalaya
As the weather continues to chill and we approach winter my crock pot is working harder to provide warm and nourishing meals for me and my family. What would be better to warm up a chilly Sunday afternoon than a nice hot bowl of jambalaya over rice? This pot started out as a Vegan Jambalaya …
Vegan Lasagna
It is a little chilly here today in North Florida, meaning it is 70º F and so I needed to wear a light sweater over my sleeveless dress. Before leaving for our meeting I put together a vegan lasagna in the crock pot — it should be ready just in time for dinner. About a …
Easy Crab Quiche
“Sacre bleu, what is this? How on earth could I miss Such a sweet little succulent crab!” – Les Poissons from The Little Mermaid Crab meat is indeed a sweet and succulent delicacy. I love it no matter what form it comes in from steamed crabs to crab stuffing and classic crab cakes! This past …
Vegan Mac-N-Cheese
I love cheese. I have been a cheese eating machine all my life. But now I am older and not in the best of health, I have allergies and need less phlegm in my life. So, I need to cut back on, if not completely eliminate, dairy in my diet at least for a while. …
Green Bean Salad
I am a green bean lover. I love them fixed in just about every way. My recent farm bag had two nice bunches of fresh locally sourced green beans in it, as soon as I saw them I knew exactly what to do! One Green Bean salad coming up! It is easy to do and …
Eggplant Ragoût
This eggplant ragoût came together really fast, making dinner on a Thursday night a snap. A ragoût (ra-goo) is a thick, rich, well-seasoned stew of meat, poultry or fish that can be made with or without vegetables. Since this is a vegan version I opted to make it a ragout of eggplant and tomatoes. The …
Mushroom Stroganoff
As the weather starts to cool we crave comforting warm foods. Beef Stroganoff, a dish of Russian origin traditionally comprised of flour dredged beef cubes in a sauce of mustard and bouillon that is finished with sour cream, is a favorite on many lists. But when you are determined to embrace a more plant based …
BBQ Chickpea Dinner Salad
A salad bowl makes for a really quick and satisfying mid-week dinner or a weekend lunch. I fell in absolute love with Barbecued Chickpeas this past Summer and found that they are also marvelous in a dinner salad! This dish comes together really fast (in about 30 minutes) and is so very satisfying. It was …
Autumn Minestrone
There is a crisp breeze in the air (yes, even in Florida), Autumn is in full swing and it’s a perfect day for minestrone. Minestrone loosely translates as a thick vegetable soup. It is as old as Roman times when a vegetarian diet was the main stay for many by necessity based on food sources …
