Does everything have to be lots of steps to a great dinner? Are there quick grabs? With a little planning and early in the week prep, you can have some quick grabs and they can be delicious, healthy and satisfying. my daughter left a container of Jerked Black beans and rice. I think she picked…
HUMMUS
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!! This is my new favorite go-to and it’s easy. Do you have a food processor? You can whip this up in minutes and lasts in your frig for up to 2 weeks. It can be served with crackers or veggies or even a yummy bread. It is Gluten free (unless you do…
OH MY GOSH, SQUASH PASTA BAKE
When I asked my Power House team mates about 2 different recipes to choose from for the week, they all went with Pad Thai. While this is an excellent choice, this new little nugget blew me out of the water and I think it’s going to make repeat appearances in lots of homes. I even…
HEALTHY PAD THAI
I love Pad Thai so finding something I could make at home and KNOW exactly what was going into it was ideal for this vegan. I will say this recipe is a little heavy on the peanut taste so just beware. I happen to like peanut butter and anything made with it so…YUM!!! I also…
SHEET PAN CHICKEN/SHRIMP FAJITAS
I had this recipe down in Florida for the first time and thought it was absolutely delicious!! We also have great big family gatherings and different kinds of bars: potato bar, taco bar, pasta bar, etc. and now have added a new component….FAJITA BAR!!! This is not only gorgeous to look at, but it’s easy…
KICKEN’ CHICKEN
Get your taste buds ready for an explosion of flavors that delight and satisfy. This was a great find or actually, an experiment with something already made up. I looked at a label for ingredients and with my background in soups, guessed at amounts needed and came up with a winner. This recipe uses roasted…
TABOULI
Oh my goodness, what a wonderful find!!! I happened to peek through a cookbook at my brother’s and found this recipe. A hundred years ago, when I was still teaching and had lunch duty, there was a student that brought Tabouli for her lunch on a weekly basis. This was before I became a vegan,…
SPICEY SHRIMP AND RICE NOODLES
I was so ready for some noodles and living in a home with gluten issues is not helpful with the pasta dishes. Since spaghetti is my all time favorite food in the world, finding a way to find that comfort food is a must!! I have discovered spiralized Zucchini noodles as a conveyor of my…
SWEET POTATO NOODLE ENCHILADA SIR-FRY
MY OH MY…this is tasty and versatile!! It goes together easy and goes down even easier. I will say that it tasted even better after letting flavors blend for 24 hours so would suggest this as a make ahead dish. I love it over lettuce, in a wrap and just by the spoonful. It’s very…
SALAD PIZZA WITH WHITE BEANS AND PARMESAN
I found this recipe in the paper and already my brain is running with tweaks that will make it vegan friendly. They use pizza dough in the recipe and I started with a cauliflower crust. ( A thin Gluten Free crust would be amazing too!!) This is one of those meals that kids might turn…
