Sweet Potato Black Bean Stew with Sweet Peppers and Peanut Sauce
This can be a one-dish meal, especially if you use a generous amount of black beans and top with some peanuts. It’s from Molly Katzen’s newest cookbook, The Heart of the Plate. You might recognize her name from Moosewood Cookbook, published in 1977. She was vegetarian way before it was as popular as it is today….
Butternut Squash Chili
Adapted from the Washington Post I was waiting for the cold weather to return to share this one with you. We had some tonight – a great way to warm up after being outside. I’ve brought this to gatherings of omnivores who thought no one would ever eat this — not so!! This is delicious…
Yellow Split Pea Dal with Mango for these cold winter days — and how our website got the flu
We knew that we were having some email issues with our website, but yesterday a major component of our website support was accidentally reset, and we were out of commission for several hours. Until we were rescued by our very clever webmaster, Dr. Tran diagnosed our website as having the flu, perhaps transmitted by our recent…
Roasted Salmon with Lemon Mustard Sauce
The recipe as posted on the food network website looks very involved, but I just made the salmon and the marinade – 1/4 of the recipe for a 1.5 lb salmon — and it was delicious – took exactly 12 minutes for a thin piece of salmon. Try to keep the marinade on the salmon,…
Salmon with horseradish sauce
From www.nutritionaction.com – under Healthy Recipes by Kate Sherwood This is a great way to spice up salmon, and have some diversion from my usual lemon or teriyaki based salmon recipes. As you’ll see, this recipe directs you to cook the salmon stovetop, then break into pieces to add to a salad. I chose to bake it…
Italian Vegetable Soup with Cannellini Beans
It’s getting to be that time when most leaves are covering the ground, not the tree branches, and the evenings and mornings are getting quite cold. My thoughts of dinner always revolve around getting into comfy sweats and having a good hot meal. This is perfect to make a double recipe on a Sunday spent…
Julia Child’s Soupe au Pistou (Pesto Soup)
Below is a recipe of Julia Child’s Soupe au Pistou, or Pesto Soup. It’s a simple vegetarian soup with the divine taste because of the “Pistou,” not exactly like the Italian “Pesto,” because of parmesan cheese as an ingredient. I used Thai Basil instead of Italian basil, as the mild bitterness of Thai basil gave it a stronger taste. I…
Roasted Halibut and Green Beans with Cilantro Sauce
This makes a beautiful presentation, combining main dish and side dish in one. I added halved cherry tomatoes for color afterwards, but then read several comments online that suggested adding them before putting the dish in the oven. I didn’t have string beans, so the photos show the dish with Brussels sprouts, which I love…
Portobello Burger or Salad with Spicy Mustard Dressing
On this 4th of July, when burgers are king, try portobellos instead – or in addition! This recipe come to us courtesy of my sister-in-law Amy, adapted from “Veganomicon – The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook” by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. It was meant to be prepared in the oven, but I tried it…
Zucchini Spaghetti with Eggplant, Tomatoes and Basil
Adapted from epicurious: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/zucchini-noodles-with-eggplant-and-tomatoes This summery play on ratatouille includes a bright mix of zucchini and summer squash turned into “noodles” along with quick pan-seared cherry tomatoes and eggplant. The lemon dressing for this really brightens up the ‘vegetti’. Alternatively, a red sauce of your preference would probably do well, and save you time. When…
