You would be forgiven for thinking this is a chocolate cake waiting patiently to be frosted. Seriously, I kept wanting to dust it with powdered sugar. But no. This is a bread. Yep. A steamed Boston Brown Bread, adapted from a fabulous new book written by a friend of mine. All Stirred Up The book is All Stirred Up by Laura Kumin, which traces the Suffrage Movement with accompanying recipe sections. The history of the Suffrage Movement is fascinating, as are the recipes. Laura not ...

6 Last-Minute Side Dishes for Thanksgiving
Last- minutes side dishes for Thanksgiving. We have enough to do on Thanksgiving without spending a lot of time on extra dishes. Am I right? That's where these 6 last-minute side dishes come in. I chose them because either the prep was 15 minutes or less, and / or at least a major part of the recipe could be done ahead. As in the previous day. And they're all big on flavor. As a note, the Maple Candied Carrots with Currants were on Food Network a few years ago (yay!!!), and my ...
10 Vegetarian Main Dishes for Thanksgiving
I bet I have a lot of you agreeing with me that 2020 has been an awful year. I'm not going to dwell on it. There are other highly qualified places where you can read about it, and debate all its merits - or lack of them. So let's focus on finding things to be thankful for, as we greet this Thanksgiving season. Anything qualifies. Maybe it's finding a new TV show that makes you laugh. Or you're spending more time with close family - assuming this is a good thing, LOL. For me, I had ...
Spicy Delicata Squash Salad with Kale
Autumn means fall and winter squash begin to pile up at the market. Pumpkins, butternut squash, and delicata squash are among my favorites. Pumpkin and butternut squash are great for soups, but delicata is my pick for salads, like this Delicata Squash Salad with Kale. Can You Eat the Skin of Delicata Squash? One of the big reasons I love delicata squash is that yes, you can eat the skin. None of that time-consuming peeling is necessary at all. (Yay!!) This makes it uber-easy and quick ...
9 Easy Vegetarian Breakfasts
Breakfast can be tricky when you're trying to figure out a new diet. It's how you begin the day. It sets the tone. This is true if you want to lose weight, go gluten-free, or keto. And it's true if you want to go vegetarian - or move to a more vegetarian diet. If I start the day with pancakes with loads of butter and syrup, I pretty much give up the day for being healthy. And yes, I know there are ways to make pancakes healthier. And I agree, sometimes we need a treat. But the fact ...

In fact, all you need are 3 ingredients, although I've added a couple of options if you want to kick them up a bit. (Just a little jam and a flurry of sugar at the end.) As a confession, if you make your own laminated dough ...

Easy Vegan Eggplant Soup with Tomatoes
First of all, I'm not super crazy about eggplant when eaten on its own. Mostly it's about the texture. But when I made this vegan eggplant soup in the first week of culinary school, I realized that I actually loved eggplant as part of an ensemble. In truth, culinary school not only taught me technique, but also exposed me to new foods. Or in the case of this eggplant soup, new ways of preparing foods I knew, but was absolutely certain I didn't like. Is Eggplant Bad For You? For some people, the ...

So, it's dinner with a salad. And it's perfect for anyone to make, whether you're a beginner or expert in the kitchen. For the less experienced cook, detailed steps with photos are provided below ...
Plant-Based Cheeses – Taste Tests
Many people think all cheese is vegetarian, and add it to vegetarian casseroles, pastas and veggie burgers thinking they're fine. But this isn't necessarily true. In fact, most are not vegetarian cheeses. Is Cheese Vegetarian? Traditional cheese makers use animal rennet as the coagulant. The coagulant is important as it thickens the milk into the thick curds needed to make cheese. Animal rennet typically comes from the stomach of a calf, goat or lamb. As a note, the animals are not ...
