VEGAN 15-MINUTES EASY GLUTEN-FREE 5 INGREDIENTS It's going to be a hot summer for a lot of us this year. Even here in the mountains at 7100 feet above sea level, we're all talking about it. So it's also going to be a summer of salads. I've already been playing with various salads recipes featuring fresh summer produce, but this Corn and Tomato Salad is my favorite so far. Well, ...
Cauliflower Steaks + Lentil Salad
Sometimes I pick something new to try in my meal plan, and it's such an instant hit that I know I'll be making it forever. Or at least for a long time to come. That happened with this week's Cauliflower Steaks with Lemon Tahini Dressing, from the With Food and Love blog. I made some changes, because that's what I do (even with my OWN recipes). So I thought I'd share my take on this fabulous recipe. This post may contain affiliate links. I participate in various affiliate programs, ...
Vegan Sloppy Joe Sliders
We all have childhood favorite meals. All we need is a mention of the dish in conversation with a friend, or a wisp of its aroma. Suddenly we're whisked back to Nana's kitchen table, our legs swinging under the table, love and security wrapped around us like a soft blanket. Sloppy Joes are one of those for me. I didn't have them at home, to be honest. Unbelievable as it sounds, it was in the school cafeteria. Sloppy Joe day was my favorite day, and I would have gone back for seconds if I ...
Black Chana Masala {Black Chickpea Curry}
If you want a completely traditional chana masala, I warn you, this might not be what you're looking for. For starters, it's a Black Chana Masala. So, it uses black chickpeas, in place of the more familiar cream ones. But I also took a Mexican twist on it by adding slices of avocado, lime juice, and a squeeze of vegan sour cream. Oh, and I added roasted eggplant to the sauce to make it even meatier. Whaaat? Ok, let's start with the Black Chickpeas. What are Black ...
Beginner’s French Onion Tart with Mushrooms
This French Onion Tart with Mushrooms is perfect for fall with its slightly caramelized onions and mushrooms. Normally, if I was hosting parties right now, I'd serve it as an appetizer, pre-cut up into individual slices. But I'm not having many gatherings right now, and I'm not sure when I will. 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 ...
Vegetarian No-Cook Meals (Plan #14)
When it's too hot to cook, we all look for dishes we can make for dinner without cooking. Here are some vegetarian no-cook meals to beat the heat this week. Harvesting garden veggies is going strong right now on our deck. The kale has been very productive, I think it pretty much grows anywhere, and ditto for my herbs. Growing tomatoes in high altitudes, however, is a sport, and not going well. But whether or not you have a garden, summertime produce is ideal for no-cook meals when its too ...
Tomato Tart (Caprese Style!)
This tomato tart includes mozzarella cheese and basil pesto, making it a caprese style dish that can be used as a side dish or appetizer. If you use a store-bought tart shell, it comes together super-quick and easy. If Tomato Caprese Salads are all the rage throughout the summer, and they are, why not take it a step further and turn it into a Tomato Caprese Tart? Total winner, you guys. If you use it as an appetizer, each piece is one - two bites, and each bite of tomato tart explodes ...
Easiest Instant Pot Tomato Risotto
This Instant Pot Tomato Risotto shows the best way to make risotto - any risotto - in the Instant Pot. The tomatoes are roasted with a little balsamic vinegar for extra flavor. Instant Pot risotto means no more hovering over the stove, gradually stirring in hot broth. Just stir once at the end. Sooo easy! Have you purchased an electric pressure cooker only to have it still in the box, because you don't have a clue what to do with it? Well, you have a lot of company. I admit that I ...
Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry
Let's say you have some omnivore family members at the table who say vegetarian food is bland. They roll their eyes, maybe they paw at the floor and whinny. Ok, maybe only my husband does that. But if this happens to you, then you need this Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry to completely change their minds. Forever. A week ago, I posted about ways to up the flavor in vegetarian and vegan dishes. And by flavor, I'm talking about the umami flavors in food that make our taste buds sparkle and ...
Moroccan Citrus Salad with Quinoa
Moroccan citrus salad of oranges and kalamata olives dressed in a spicy vinaigrette. Add peppery arugula and quinoa for a vegetarian main dish. Citrus is at its peak right now, and brightening hearty winter salads is one of the best ways to use it. Like this Moroccan Citrus Salad that I love to make all winter, or this Sumo Citrus Salad with Cauliflower, Olives and Feta. As note: This recipe was originally posted in January 2012, and updated January 2020. Why Use Citrus Now Variety Grapefruit, ...
Vegetarian Quiche Lorraine with a Hash Brown Crust
Quiche is the perfect brunch or breakfast for dinner dish, and Quiche Lorraine is one of my favorites. But the traditional version from the mountainous Lorraine region in north-eastern France includes bacon. And, although I love a good Asparagus Quiche, today I wanted a vegetarian Quiche Lorraine. The Traditional Quiche Lorraine A quiche was originally a simple peasant meal of an egg and cream custard, with bread dough as the crust. Although we associate this dish with France, at the time Quiche ...
Vegetarian Meal Plan – Week 9
Easy vegetarian meal plan with comfort dishes that can be prepped in 15 minutes or less (except the enchiladas, which take 20 minutes of prepping). This week's dinners star cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and 3 kinds of legumes. The first few years after I graduated from culinary school, I veered towards more complicated recipes. I wanted to have some fun with all this new knowledge I now had. I still love to bake, especially breads. But for our weekly dinner? I look for something easy and fast, ...
