This is the perfect dinner for a Meatless Monday night, when you are just back into the week, and strapped for time. This comes together very quickly, and is delicious. You can make it as cheesy as you like, or omit the cheese. I cut this to look like pizza slices, called it egg pizza, and the kids scarfed it all down. My son took seconds and … [Read more...]
Pina Colada Cabbage Salad
I received a coupon to try a Silk® product, provided by Meatless Monday on behalf of Silk®. I have already used Silk® coconut milk, almond milk, and cashew milk. All are very tasty, and are what I use in place of dairy milk in lots of ways (in breakfast cereal, smoothies, etc). This time, I wanted to try the almond-coconut blend. I thought with the … [Read more...]
Red Coconut Curry Slurp Bowl with Lotus Foods Gluten Free Ramen
It's been a while since I have cooked or blogged regularly. This has been a brutal season, despite the weather being nice. We have all been sick, right after the other. I feel (I hope) that we are on the other side of it now. I was given the opportunity to try some Lotus Foods items, through the Meatless Monday movement and Lotus Foods. I was … [Read more...]
Vegetable Cheese Soup – Meatless Monday
This soup is a bit lighter than the usual broccoli cheese soup. It is a forgiving recipe, in that you can use all broccoli, all cauliflower, or any combination of the two. You can use thawed frozen veggies instead of steaming raw ones. I like to add a summer squash (or zucchini) at the beginning with the onions, to add some more veggie nutrition - … [Read more...]
Eggplant and Tomato “Stew”
We got some local eggplant and tomatoes at the farmer's market. In the summer, I make this dish many times, using whatever vegetable I have on hand - eggplant, zucchini, cauliflower, etc. It takes about 40 minutes, and doesn't use a whole lot of ingredients. Fresh, seasonal vegetables taste best simply prepared. I don't even use spices in this a … [Read more...]
Red Cabbage Salad
This is a salad made up of red cabbage, carrots, and onions, with a lemon juice and olive oil dressing. It is a slightly tangy salad, that isn't heavy or dripping with dressing. My good friend, fellow blogger Corey of Cooking With Corey came up with the idea of a Vegetable Of The Week challenge, which I thought was great for inspiration. So, of … [Read more...]

Meatless Monday – Quinoa and Rice Vegetable Pilaf
This is a great pilaf that incorporates both rice and quinoa. It is versatile and you can use any frozen vegetables you and your family prefer. The nuts can also be swapped according to preference and what you have on hand. One day last week I used walnuts, this time I used almonds - your choice. You can eat this as a main course for a … [Read more...]
Meatless Monday- Egg In A Rabbit Hole (Egg with Kale & Spinach, Topped With Cracked Pepper & Sumac)
Eggs In A Hole typically place the egg in the middle of a slice of bread. I like to place mine in the middle of a bed of greens, the kind that would make any rabbit (and veggie-loving human) happy. It's a fast and easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and pretty healthy, too. You get 2 cups of leafy greens in this meal, heart-healthy olive oil, and a … [Read more...]
Meatless Monday – Ravioli, Mushrooms, and Spinach in Rosé Sauce
like to keep a package of fresh pasta in the refrigerator when I know that we will be busy the upcoming week, because it provides a quick meal option when we are running around all day and need to get food on the table quickly. The sauce takes about 10 minutes to make, so plan that accordingly when you start your ravioli. Ravioli, Mushrooms, … [Read more...]
