Vegan Pizza

Tried out a new "cheese" sauce last night - incredible.

Nearly Instant Thai Coconut Corn Soup

From this recipe - added some jasmine rice - quick and delicious.....

Tofu Kale Stir-Fry

My kale obsession has resumed and back in full force - recipe here - really should have used reduced sodium tamari, wee bit on the salty side - other than that, this was quick and easy and will be a staple for meals in the future. Maybe add some mushrooms? Throw in some bok choy?

The photo doesn't do it justice - this dish was fantastic - lentils, pasta, TVP and veggies - keeper! This recipe....

Home for the Holidays!

Fantastic trip home, didn't realize how much I needed it. Re-connecting with family is re-connecting with oneself on a very deep, primitive level. Miss my grandmother very much, yet I saw and felt her in her siblings, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Vegan Pasta Bake

Made usual adjustments not to add oil..... from this recipe: http://www.rhymeswithvegan.com/2008/10/vegan-pasta-bake.html

Pizza!

This one had the "old standby" sauce, roma tomato slices, green pepper, onion & shitake mushrooms & kale sauteed in red wine, and a little basil & oregano. Was wonderful!

"Chorizo"-Kale-Barley Saute with Cannellini Beans

Veganized from this recipe
Delicious! And much healthier than the original version!

Pumpkin & Black Bean Casserole

Yeah, it might not sound appealing, but it's somehow genius. I subbed 2 small butternut squashes for the pumpkin. Recipe here.

Humble Meal

Cleaning out the fridge and off the counters, roasted some leftover veggies.....

Fav Recipe - VEGANized!

November 16th 2008, I asked my wonderful friend - www.soulveggie.com for some assistance in veganizing one of my favorite recipes - cheese & shrimp stuffed poblano peppers with red pepper sauce - he suggested the idea to substitute mushrooms for the shrimp to achieve the same mouth-feel & texture and that I could use a faux cheese sauce of my choice. At that time, I was so new to vegan cooking and was learning so much that I put this aside.
Until today.....
I had leftover cheese sauce from my last pizza. And I did use the mushrooms, along with some Gardein chick'n scallopini filets. 

An old favorite, back in action - absolutely wonderful!

Thanksgiving 2010

Garlic mashed potatos, green bean casserole, corn pudding & seitan holiday roast, (used leftover broth for gravy base) pecan pie and pumpkin nut pie.... wonderful Thanksgiving, wonderful family - truly blessed.

Another Pizza
