I was craving Mushroom Congee but I didn’t want to use rice. Congee or conjee is a type of rice porridge or gruel popular in many Asian countries, especially East Asia. I made it with tempeh instead and loved it. I imagine this dish will work with rice Cauliflower or a small cooked white bean…
I am putting turmeric in just about everything these days. Turmeric fights inflammation and increases antioxidant capacity of the body.

We have four other Buckwheat Crêpe or Pancake recipes on this site. This one is the newest and my favorite. Why? I start with buckwheat groats and make the flour by grinding them instead of buying buckwheat flour already ground. It’s fresher tasting and more flavorful. When making crêpes, you must have a crêpe pan!…

We had made a version of this soup while traveling using a store bought low-sodium vegetable broth. Once at home, instead of a packaged broth, I used herbs and spices to flavor the water instead. The sweet potatoes give the soup a nice flavor. Ingredients: 6 cups water Spice/Herb mix: 2 Tablespoons onion powder…
