These stuffed peppers are easy to prepare, and so tasty! I made them for Christmas Eve dinner this year and everyone loved them! I prepared a double batch, and froze half after cooking to save for the following week. We love having delicious leftovers in the freezer for a quick dinner, and our friends who came to dinner are still raving about them! 🙂 The filling calls for cooked brown rice. Cooking the rice takes more…
Don’t get left out this holiday season, make yourself a truly healthy pumpkin pie and share it with your friends and family. I think you all are going to love it!! First, I have to tell you that I love pumpkin pie. It’s delicious! I like that it’s a little spicy, not too sweet, and has a nice firm texture. However, since I don’t consider traditional pumpkin pie a healthy food,…
We love this stir fry recipe in our house! It’s a fairly easy to make on a week night, and can really satisfy my craving for Thai take out. The most time consuming part is chopping all of the vegetables, and it’s really not so bad… The roasted cashews add a lot of flavor. A LOT! So don’t skip that step, it’s totally worth it, and really makes the dish. Oh, and the…
This open face jackfruit BBQ sandwich was SO delicious!! What is Jackfruit? It’s a fruit. Seriously, look it up. When it’s fully ripe it’s sweet, and I’ve heard it somewhat resembles pineapple. When it’s young, or not yet fully ripe, it’s not as sweet, has a mild flavor, and great texture that makes it a really good substitute for beans, lentils, tofu, and even meat in many dishes. It works perfectly in…
My kids love going out for Indian food, but for some reason, never like my Indian inspired dishes at home. I finally have a winner! I realized I need to add potatoes (apparently, they love any dish with potatoes) and I need to blend my stewed tomotoes so there are no chunks. My kids are not picky eaters by any means and will usually anything, so when one tells me…
I love this recipe because it is fairly simply to make and tastes so good! I got the recipe from Lindsay Nixon’s Happy Herbivore email newsletter. She emailed out a whole bunch of Super Bowl recipes around Super Bowl Sunday, so when we were invited to a party at my brother’s I knew I had to give it a try. Everyone loved it! I doubled the recipe and made…
This cereal is a sweet, tasty breakfast treat that everyone seems to like! I usually make a double batch of it so we can just heat it up quickly on busy school mornings. I got the recipe from Dr. Fuhrman’s email newsletter a couple of years back, but it can also be found in his book Super Immunity. A few notes about the ingredients: * Make sure you use short…
Yes, pancakes. These fall more into the fruit and whole grains for breakfast category than veggies for dinner, but people have been asking about breakfast, especially for kids, and this puts a pretty good spin on the old classic. Pancakes are typically problematic with the refined white flour, dairy, eggs, sugar, and additives and preservatives. This version is pure whole, lightly refined, plant food, and they are delicious! Banana…
We have been posting some complex recipes recently. While they are totally delicious and worth the effort, especially when entertaining around the holidays, they can’t really be thrown together without doing some up-front planning, specialty shopping, and taking the time to prepare the dishes. To switch things up a bit, I want to share with you what I had for lunch today. A sunshine burger sandwich, with a side…
Dr. Fuhrman emailed out this recipe in his newsletter and I was really excited to try it! When the weather gets cold, I really enjoy really hot, comfort food and I think this recipe satisfies both while being totally plant based. His recipe can be found here. Enjoy! We loved this recipe and all four of us almost ate the entire thing for dinner one night! Lentil Shepherd’s pie…
