Breakfast Black Beans

The World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research published the most comprehensive study of diet and cancer called Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: A Global Perspective in 2007. They have numerous recommendations including eating mostly foods of plant origin and eating relatively unprocessed cereals (grains) and/or pulses…

Mushroom Ginger Congee

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…

Ginger Turmeric Latte

I am putting turmeric in just about everything these days. Turmeric fights inflammation and increases antioxidant capacity of the body. It is linked to improved brain function and lower risk of brain diseases. I love ginger too. It improves cognitive function, increases blood flow to the brain and modulates blood sugar levels, keeping energy levels…

Red Bell Pepper Turmeric Dressing

Turmeric is a health-promoting spice bursting with color. Use this sauce as a salad dressing, a dip for vegetables or a sauce of whole grains. Ingredients: 4 1/2 teaspoons fresh turmeric, peeled and minced 2 red or orange bell Peppers, seeded and sliced 1/2 cup lemon juice (from 2 lemons) 4 Tablespoons Tahini (optional) Add…

Steel Cut Oats and Millet Waffles

I am done with buying flours! I grind my own in my Vitamix. Millet and Steel Cut Oats grind up well and make wonderful waffles. Serve with Berries, Fresh fruit or Jam. Ingredients 3/4 cup steel cut oats, dry, uncooked 1/4 cup millet, dry, uncooked 2 Tablespoons flax seeds (brown or golden) 2 cups water…

Thaimeric Tomato Sauce

Sometimes the best ideas come from lack. Or apparent lack. We are going to be away from home for a while and we are using up what we have left in the refrigerator and pantry. We make a lot of sauces from nuts, seeds and nut and seed butters. We were out of everything. I…

Buckwheat Crêpes, Gluten-free

  This is one of my favorites. Why? I start with raw buckwheat groats and make the flour by grinding them instead of buying buckwheat flour already ground. It’s fresher tasting and more flavorful. Toasted Buckwheat, also known as Kasha will also work. Toasted buckwheat will make a darker, chewier crêpe.   Just make sure…

Pumpkin Seed Encrusted Tofu Steaks

This is an amazing dish. It is not difficult to make and it doesn’t take a lot of time. I can’t believe how good it is. You can use this pumpkin seed “breading” with Tempeh, Portabella Mushrooms, Seitan, Gardein, Beyond Meat Chicken Strips or any veggie meat. Ingredients: 3/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds 1 teaspoon…

Cherry Almond Waffles

We love waffles and make them all the time. We have many waffle recipes on this site that are vegan, gluten-free and totally yummy. Some are crispy, some are soft and cake-like. Try them all! This recipe is especially good because ground almonds are added to the batter for a rich flavor. I got started…
