I don't like mushrooms . . . until I had these. I have never cooked mushrooms and never tasted a stuffed mushroom cap, but decided to attempt to make some for Jared since he loves them. I had it in my head from the years of cooking shows I have watched that thyme and mushrooms should go together. From there I made these stuffed mushroom caps ( Read more... )

We got some rainbow chard yesterday from the farmers market. I have never had chard that I know of. Every recipe I came across online said to cook it just like spinach, so I did. They turned out okay . . . a little bitter for my palate. I am not the biggest fan of cooked greens, but these looked so pretty, I had to give them a try. Jared seemed to ( Read more... )

I love eating this meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Today, this was breakfast. Tomatoes with sea salt and skillet fried potatoes with sweet onion, sea salt, cayenne pepper, paprika and some cut up homemade Teriyaki TVP Jerky (which tasted like bacon with the potatoes). Easy and delicious.

I felt kinda lazy tonight so I made soup and biscuits. The soup had onions, carrots, celery, zucchini, red kidney beans, pasta, veggie stock, tomato paste and a few secret spices. The biscuit was nothing special, just a quick biscuit I made. All and all, simple and tasty.

I made homemade tomato sauce with angel hair pasta for dinner tonight. The sauce was made from canned fire roasted tomatoes, onions, garlic, white wine, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, sea salt, agave nectar and natural sugar. I also browned up some spicy vegan sausage and threw that in. Once plated, it was topped with nutritional yeast ( Read more... )

Below is Sesame "Chicken" and General Tso's "Chicken" from Green Sprout in Atlanta, Ga. Amazing! The whole restaurant was at the very least all vegetarian but can make most things vegan (by leaving out the eggs in things like fried rice and noodle dishes). All of their spring roll wrappers, noodles and even fortune cookies were vegan! They had the ( Read more... )

I was inspired tonight by the lone avocado that was left over from this week's shopping trip. It needed to be eaten so I made some guacamole. That lead to me grilling up (on our grill pan- get one if you don't have one) red and yellow bell peppers along side with some sweet onions and zucchini, enough to wilt them a bit but still have a nice bite ( Read more... )
