Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup

Paul asked for chicken noodle soup. I hadn't made this before, much less a vegan version, but took the challenge. Found this recipe and it was perfect. I only had 5 cups of broth, it really needed the full 6. Delicious!

Used the recipe from The 30-Minute Vegan by Mark Reinfeld and Jennifer Murray as the basis - tofu, red peppers, shiitake mushrooms, onion, baby bok choy, carrots, corn, basil, bean sprouts with lite coconut milk and a little bit of sriracha with green curry paste. Served over rice.

Green Beans, Mushrooms & Tempeh with Rice

While driving back to the Outer Banks yesterday afternoon, listening to NPR's The Splendid Table, a caller asked advice for cooking for a vegan for a potluck. The hostess described a Moroccan dish with green beans, which inspired me to create my own version. I sauteed onion and green beans until soft, added garlic, then some cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. Added some thyme and sage. At this point, I realized tempeh "bacon" would go perfectly with these flavors, so that was added as well. Added soy sauce. And a little lemon. Served over rice. Will definitely do this again :)
