Fusion powered pizza

Way back in 2007 Kala and I entered the Vegetarian Times magazine reader recipe contest.  My entry was a Thai Chik’N Pizza, oh and it won 3rd place.  Wednesday night we revisited the recipe as we do from time to time.  I stuck fairly close to the published recipe only substituting some ketchup (2 tsp) [...]

Lentil soup for a cold winter day.

I have been making my lentil soup for quite a few years, there is no recipe exactly, it’s sort of a throw everything in a pot and adjust it as you go. It’s a favorite of mine when I am sick or it’s bitterly cold out.
The ingredient list runs down as follows:

about a cup and [...]

BBQ Mock Duck

 
For lunch the other day, I whipped up a quick batch of spicy BBQ Mock Duck.  It’s super easy to make and really yummy, I even made it for our wedding (although it was much much less spicy than when I make it for myself).  I usually have it in a whole wheat tortilla, but [...]

Spicy White Bean Dip

 
I’ve been totally into eating raw carrots lately so I wanted to experiment with some different veggie friendly dips.  Today I came up with something very simple and delicious that’s also really healthy!
 
Spicy White Bean Dip
Ingredients

1 – 16 oz can of navy beans, drained and rinsed
3 large cloves of garlic, peeled and pressed
1 jalapeno, stemmed (I [...]

Oh Fudge!

 
Oh how I love dorky titles for blog posts!  Almost as much as I love fudge.  Peanut Butter fudge to be exact.  I made a little pan of this stuff a couple of days ago and it didn’t last long, it was sooooo good.  I’ve made this before, it’s my stand-by peanut butter fudge recipe, [...]

Eccentric Hummus

 
Or maybe Weirdo Hummus is a better name, I don’t know.  Anywho, I was starving like crazy and needed a quick snack before dinner (the boy is making bbq tempeh sammies, yum!) so hummus came to the rescue yet again.  Oh hummus, what can’t you do?  Being in an adventurous mood, I decided to play [...]

Black and Blue Smoothie

This is my standard go-to smoothie recipe and it’s super easy, just like a smoothie should be.
 

 
Black and Blue Smoothie
 
Ingredients:

1/2 cup frozen blackberries, rinsed
1/2 cup frozen blueberries, rinsed
1 cup soymilk (I use Silk Vanilla Light)
1/2 cup soy yogurt (I use Whole Soy and Company because it’s good and doesn’t try to kill me with traces of [...]

Two Bean Salad

 
Maybe if I make food that’s Spring/Summer appropriate, the weather will cooperate.  Ok, probably not but I had a weird desire to making something with black eyed peas so I came up with this simple little bean salad.  It may be snowing outside (it’s mid-April, this is so wrong!) but dinner was totally picnic worthy. 
 

 
Two Bean Salad
Makes 4 cups

Spicy Tempeh Salad on Toast

This is something I just kind of made up, mostly because we didn’t have the stuff for the tofu scramble I wanted for lunch.  But it turned out really yummy I’ll definately have to make it again!  The recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of food, perfect size for a lunch for two.  Or one [...]
