Italian Roasted Cauliflower

admin July 29, 2013 3 Comments
Since I began roasting cauliflower it has become a weekly vegetable.  You can find my go-to recipe here.  However, I found that when my main dish had an Italian flare to it, my regular recipe didn't quite fit the bill.  So, enter....Italian Roasted Cauliflower.   This really isn't much of a recipe at all.  I don't measure or anything like that.  You can adjust the seasonings as much or as...

Want an easy, quick way to make a vegan or vegetarian lunch or supper?  How about a black bean burger?   I never made a black bean burger before this attempt. Truthfully, I was hesitant.  However, I loved every bite of it!   Granted, it doesn’t taste like beef, but it was good.  I was satisfied.  I felt like I did my body something good. If you want to make this sandwich for yourself,...

Go Veggie “Cheese” by Galaxy Nutritional Foods – Product Review

admin July 21, 2013 3 Comments
I’m all about saving us dairy free folks some money.  So I spent some of my own to see just how good this Go Veggie "cheese" by Galaxy Nutritional Foods is.  After all, it is priced a bit less than Daiya, so if it is good, I would switch.  Read on to see if I will just do that.   I made a pizza with black beans. The package claims it will melt and stretch.  Well, it melted TOO MUCH!  It...

It’s very rare that I purchase dairy free, factory made, frozen treats at the store.  But I made the exception to my rule during my last trip to Trader Joe’s and bought this Mango Sorbet.   This sorbet is creamy, smooth, refreshing and satisfying.   It hit the spot on a hot day; on a busy day with no time to prepare food.  Even if you are not crazy about mango, I bet you would like this...

Grilled Hoisin Chicken

I love cooking summer food!  AKA…the grill!  What is better and easier than firing up the grill for a simple meal of protein and vegetables!?   So simple and fast…great for a hot day when you do not want to heat up the kitchen or for a day at the pool and not much time in the evening!   Grilling chicken is not hard.  It only takes a little forethought in making a marinade.  Granted,...

So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk vs. Silk Pure Coconut

We always have a couple containers of vanilla flavored coconut milk in the house.  I usually buy So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk, but lately have purchased a few containers of Silk Pure Coconut Vanilla Coconut Milk.  I thought it would be fun to do a comparison.  The information is taken from the containers.   How they are the same:  Both state a serving size is 1 cup, have zero...

I'm all about popsicles this summer!  And healthy ones without tons of high fructose corn syrup and food dyes. This one is full of fruit, little bit of vegetables, and a small amount of natural sweetener. Nothing goes better on a hot afternoon than a popsicle.  Whip up a batch and enjoy!

Honey Oatmeal Bread

I made a yeast bread with wheat flour today and it was fun!   I had trouble deciding if I should put this on the blog since it isn’t gluten free.  But it is bread that is free of milk, egg, and soy, so I thought it would still come in handy for many people.      This recipe is great to make when you are having company or making bread to give to a friend because it makes two large...

Bacon, peas and golden raisins!  What do they have in common?  This salad!    Sounds like a strange combination, doesn’t it?  Well, it turns out it is YUMMY and a great way to eat peas.   It’s easy too.  This can be made allergy free or “regular.”  Either way, it works! Seriously, this is sweet and doesn’t taste like peas at all.  It may just do the trick to getting a kid to...

Chocolate Granola For Anyone!

Calling all chocolate lovers!  I found a new way to get a chocolate fix.  Chocolate granola!    I adapted this recipe, tried it, and then two days later I found that Trader Joe’s had a chocolate granola.  Then I found a gluten free chocolate granola in another store.  So glad I made homemade a few days earlier!  Homemade is fun!  Homemade is less expensive!  Homemade is easy! Once you...
