No-oil Chinese Eggplant

August 31, 2017

Everyone once and a while I have a really hunkering for Chinese food.  It’s one of those things that I grew up having on occasional Friday nights with my family, so sometimes I miss it.  I created this really quick, oil free dish that really hits the spot when I get one of those cravings!  The recipe can really be used with most any vegetables you have on hand, but…

Meatlessballs

July 11, 2017

Meatlessballs, are another crowd pleaser that you can proudly serve to anyone! Especially to friends and family who are transitioning, or even those who don’t (yet!) eat a plant based diet.  My family is used to getting together and celebrating over an italian feast, and for my Dad, that always included meatballs.  He went fully plant based earlier this year though, and I wanted to make him a replacement to…

Chores, skills, and habits

November 7, 2016

Chickpea Potato Curry

April 7, 2016

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…

Lentil Shepherd’s pie

January 1, 2015

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…
