Meatless Monday: Roasted Cauliflower and White Bean Soup

Meatless Monday: Roasted Cauliflower and White Bean Soup
My Mother’s Day yesterday included gorgeous sunshine while planting my garden, love from my family and really I couldn’t have asked for a better day.  I feel grateful for all that I have. The downside is everyone is sick and there has been a lingering cough that will not leave my house. The only thing... Read more »

Meatless Monday: No Guilt Pizza for the Whole Family

Meatless Monday: No Guilt Pizza for the Whole Family
My weekly Meatless Monday posts have been few and far between lately.  I have a number of excuses but the biggest is my offspring have developed vegetable detectors.  Spinach can’t be hidden; they sense the mushroom and refuse to come close and they barely will be in the same room as cauliflower. My philosophy is to continue to... Read more »

Meatless Monday: Spinach and Chickpeas

Meatless Monday: Spinach and Chickpeas
Slowly I’ve been noticing perks about my kids getting older.  No more diapers, messy bath time has morphed into low maintenance showers and my kids are helping me cook now. Surprisingly, they are very helpful stirring, throwing away garbage and getting items out of the refrigerator.  My 3 year old was extremely interested and careful... Read more »

Meatless Monday: Loaded Miso Soup

Meatless Monday: Loaded Miso Soup
My mother in law saved me an article from The New York Times Magazine titled “No Meat, No Dairy, No Problem: Going semi-vegan: A resolution with no downside” (January1, 2012).   The author Mark Bittman explains this way of eating is not a diet or a gimmick, but a path. The recipes ranged from Bean Burger to Fried... Read more »

Meatless Monday: Warm Broccoli Soup with Parmesan Crostini

Meatless Monday: Warm Broccoli Soup with Parmesan Crostini
December has arrived and somehow it now is winter.  Puffy coats, gloves and hats are out in full force and soup season has officially begun.  Nothing is better on a cold day than steamy, rich and healthy soup. I found this recipe on the Meatless Monday site and planned to adapt it slightly.  I had 90% of the ingredients in my house and... Read more »

Meatless Monday: Thanksgiving Green Bean and Shallot Ravioli Salad

Meatless Monday: Thanksgiving Green Bean and Shallot Ravioli Salad
You know that mushy, creamy, salty Green Bean Casserole that many of our moms used to (or still) make?  I could eat an entire dish of that comfort food. But,  I know the cream of mushroom soup is fattening and canned green beans contain preservatives and have lost many of the healthy qualities of the original vegetable.  Also, my... Read more »

Meatless Monday: Wild Rice and Tempeh Stuffed Acorn Squash

Meatless Monday: Wild Rice and Tempeh Stuffed Acorn Squash
My husband and I are on a rare kid-free weekend getaway and  trying  hard to be computer free.  Luckily, today I have a mouth watering guest post from one of my former high school friends.  Thanks to Facebook we recently became reunited and I learned she is a chef and writer  living in San Francisco.   I am...

Meatless Monday: Squash & Chickpea Moroccan Stew

Meatless Monday: Squash & Chickpea Moroccan Stew
I’ve had this large squash dominating my kitchen  counter as a center piece for the past week.  It reminds me of autumn, but I’ve been itching to cook with it.  I found this recipe in my November issue of Yoga Journal and thought it looked hearty and unique. The most difficult part of the stew was chopping... Read more »

Healthy and Hearty Zucchini Banana Muffins

Healthy and Hearty Zucchini Banana Muffins
My garden produced some generously sized zucchinis this summer.  I was intrigued by an interesting stir fry  recipe, but wasn’t convinced it would sell my kids on the green vegetable.  I don’t bake often because I don’t like to have sweets in the house and, in turn eat them all.  I decided to attempt to create a healthy muffin that could...
