Tonight for supper, we had a raw taco salad and a green juice. The juice was one of the best yet - a variation on Juice Me Green Baby! but somehow a notch above. Try this: Juice Me Green Too! 1 large bunch green kale 1 medium field cucumber 1/2 large bunch parsley 1/2 lemon, unpeeled 1 inch chunk of ginger, ...
I've been having a green juice every day for several days now. My favourite concoction is as follows: . . . . . . Juice Me Green Baby! 1 bunch fresh spinach 1/2 bunch of celery 1/2 bunch of cilantro or parsley 1/2 peeled lemon 1 inch chunk of peeled ginger (or 1/4 tsp powder) Run all ingredients through a juicer in the order listed. (If using ginger ...
Quiche makes a good Meatless Monday recipe, using any combination of leftover veggies (and herbs). (While it is generally recommended that only the heaviest of creams be used in a quiche, I only had half-and-half in the fridge, so I experimented by adding a wee bit of guar gum to the filling. It seemed to work quite ...
I found this recipe in a magazine many years ago, and it quickly became a family favourite. We eat it at every solstice, every equinox. . .and now, pretty much, every week. It's vegetarian, it's uncooked, and it can be made with any type of noodle - our favourite is spinach-flavoured rice spaghetti. Solstice Spaghettini 1 lb spaghettini (or pasta of ...
Here is a basic souffle recipe that has worked several times for me. The broccoli can be substituted with spinach or any other vegetable, or any combination of vegetable and herbs. The vegetables must be cooked and thoroughly drained - even squeezed - before using. Just be sure that your final measurement is close to, but ...
This is one of the easiest ways to get the kids to eat their greens. They know it has spinach and they still devour it. Creamy Green Pasta 1 lb of rotini or fusilli pasta (or any pasta with a lot of surface area) 1/2 bunch of spinach or other greens, roughly chopped 1-2 tbsp butter 1-2 tbsp flour 1 cup ...
I had never made a souffle until just last week. Now I've made three. Three different recipes, all savoury, using very different techniques produced three equally good and well-risen souffles; however, each required adjustments as I went, so unfortunately, I have no fool-proof souffle recipe to pass on at this time. What I do have, after extensive ...
My favourite basic fish recipe. Broiled Trout 1 lb trout fillets 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp paprika salt and pepper to taste Preheat broiler. Brush a baking pan or dish with oil. Place the fish in the pan in a single layer. Mix remaining ingredients in a glass jar and shake well. Pour over fish. ...
I love eating lasagne, but I hate making it. I can count on one hand the number of times I've made it - tonight was the fifth - because it's simply too much work. This recipe is a nice variation; it has the same basic components, but the assembly is much quicker. My herbs are still ...
This was my first experience making falafels. I didn't have any tahini, so I made a cucumber-yoghurt sauce, which worked quite well. Cucumber-Yoghurt Sauce 1/2 cup yoghurt 2" chunk of cucumber, grated and squeezed dry 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1 tbsp each cilantro and mint 1 tbsp onion 1/2 tsp dijon mustard splash of lemon juice salt and pepper, to taste Mix all ingredients and ...
A memorable recipe from one of my 'forgotten' cookbooks. It's a good way to use up leftover mashed potatoes from Christmas dinner, and it's quick and easy if you're too partied out to make a "real meal". Bubble and Squeak 3-4 cups mashed potato 2-3 cups shredded spinach or other greens 1 egg, beaten 1 cup grated cheddar cheese pinch of freshly grated ...
This recipe is an amalgam of three other baked bean recipes I've tried. It's different every time, but it's always very good. I always use a mix of beans - navy, kidney, black-eyed peas, or anything else that will bring a variety of shape and colour to the dish. I never use sugar; the molasses and maple ...
The original recipe for this Cream of Leek Soup can be traced back to a French cooking course my mother took years and years ago. It was gracefully aging into an "old family recipe" before I decided, just this evening, to 'veganize' and 'babify' it, and give it a new name (sacrilege!). In our house, we worship the gods ...
I bought a beautiful bunch of bright red/purple kale a few days ago. It looked pretty on the table. It looked pretty in the fridge too, a trophy vegetable to show the whole family Look at the nutritious foods we like to eat. Another day or two, of course, and it would be making me ...
I've always made my own burgers from scratch. I've been using the same recipe for close to ten years now, and they really are amazing. But, in order to achieve my meat-reduction goal, I've been trying out vegetarian alternatives made with nuts, beans, lentils or kasha. The kasha burgers I made several weeks ago, weren't bad; they had ...
