Banana Berry Oatmeal

I came across this recipe over at The Discerning Brute, a blog for guys that I happen to read sometimes (hey it's interesting!). It looked super delicious and very healthy so I knew I would try it. I made it for a late breakfast/early lunch last weekend after we got back from a morning at… Continue reading Banana Berry Oatmeal

Yesterday I posted about the Chickpea Curry we made last last Sunday and today I'm posting about the Naan we made to go with it. I'm super excited to post this recipe because it was really fun to make and turned out really, really good! Naan is a type of flat bread. We've made it… Continue reading Naan

Kale & White Bean Soup

I came across this recipe in my January issue of Real Simple (which I am a little behind in reading). I was intrigued because of the kale. I didn't think I'd ever had kale before and wanted to try it out. Here's how we made it this past week for dinner. Kale & White Bean… Continue reading Kale & White Bean Soup

Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

When I first saw this recipe in The Kind Diet, I thought "Hmm this looks good but I bet it's a pain in the rear to make" and skipped right on by.

In November I bought Alicia Silverstone's new book The Kind Diet. The book has a lot of useful information on a vegan diet and lots… Continue reading Sicilian Collard Greens

Lentil Tacos

A long time ago I came across this recipe on All Recipes. I hadn't cooked much with lentils (if ever) and it looked like a good way to serve Mexican food without meat (I don't eat a lot of meat these days). I saved it to my recipe box and then never made it. Finally… Continue reading Lentil Tacos

Roasted Eggplant Soup

The eggplant plants have been producing tons of eggplants this year. I've been seeking out eggplant recipes and came across this one for Roasted Eggplant Soup on All Recipes. I'm kind of a soup junkie so I was all over it. I pretty much made it as stated in the recipe except I only used… Continue reading Roasted Eggplant Soup

Eggplant Croquettes

I found this recipe when searching out ways to use up all the eggplants from the garden. Croquette is just a fancy word for patty. I actually made this recipe two different ways. The first time I made it I fried the patties as the recipe says. Eggplant Croquettes 4 servings 1 medium eggplant, peeled… Continue reading Eggplant Croquettes
