5 more questions

This seemed to be a hit last week so I decided to go for round 2.  Feel free to answer on my blog or at Vegetarilin on Facebook. 1. What is your favorite source of protein? I love tofu.  It’s so versatile and soaks up the flavor of whatever you cook it with. 2. What’s your [ READ MORE ]

Break Time

For those of you who read this blog regularly I apologize for posting so little lately.  I was on a roll of cooking a lot and posting 5+ times a week.  I am finding that is pretty much impossible to keep up with so I’ve decided to scale down a bit. There’s a couple of [ READ MORE ]

Fruity Vegan Corn Muffins

I have not cooked anything new for some time now.  I find the one difficulty with having a food blog is that I’m so busy trying out new recipes that I don’t have time to cook some old favorites.  I guess it’s all about balance. This morning I got up ridiculously early so I decided [ READ MORE ]

Escarole Bean Soup

My sister Sandy makes this soup all the time so I decided to give it a try.  The recipe she gave me was really just a list of ingredients so I really created it with just a basic idea.  I am really impressed with the results.  It’s a thick, hearty soup full of delicious vegetables [ READ MORE ]

Veggie Lasagna

Let me start by telling you that I made a 9′ x 13′ tray of this lasagna Thursday night and it’s already almost finished.  This lasagna is so good it’s simply disappearing.  It’s a favorite recipe of mine because everyone in my house loves it including my husband who is still a meat and potatoes [ READ MORE ]

Primo Pasta

This recipe actually came from the most recent copy of  Vegetarian Times although I’ve made a few changes to it.  It’s photo was the magazine cover and looked really good.  As I read the recipe I realized that it was listed under an article for meals with 5 ingredietns or less.  I love that type [ READ MORE ]

Greek Tomato & Cucumber Salad

It’s Labor Day in the US which means I’m having the family over.  I’m sticking to a basic barbecue with some simple sides.  Since coming home from Europe my son has been eating a lot of cucumber and tomato.  I’m pretty sure it’s the Mediterranean influence.  So today I’m going to make him a Greek version [ READ MORE ]

Did you ever make a recipe that you knew would be delicious well before it was completed?  For me, this is that type of recipe.  Once I whisked together all the ingredients, I took a quick taste and it was so rich, creamy, and sweet that I knew it would be a hit.  Add to [ READ MORE ]

Vegan Steel Cut Oatmeal Cookies

I actually started out planning to make a good cereal recipe this morning.  And then I decided it’s a little cooler than typical so why not bake some cookies.  Steel cut oats are groats which have been cut into two or three pieces.  Where rolled oats are made by flattening pre-cut groats.  Opinions seem to [ READ MORE ]

I’m turning over a new leaf. This one will be a green vegetable leaf.  I’m going to get myself back to super healthy eating and start working on weight loss.  My goal is to follow the basic premise of Michael Pollan’s Food Rules and just eat as healthily and naturally as possible.  Other than that [ READ MORE ]
