Edamame Corn & Tomato Salad
This simple and refreshing salad combines shelled edamame (Japanese word for soybeans),
corn, cherry tomatoes and avocados. The salad is topped with a lime dressing and
garnished with cilantro. Perfect as a side dish or as a light dinner. Enjoy!
Thai Chickpea Pizza
This classic California style pizza is made on a whole wheat pita crust then topped with a
tangy coconut based peanut sauce, chickpeas, bean sprouts and pineapple. If your looking
for a no fuss gourmet meal then try Thai Chickpea Pizza!
Red Lentil & Carrot Soup
This Indian inspired soup combines red lentils (massur dal), bright carrots, sweet coconut
milk and spices that are then pureed into a warm creamy soup. Serve this soup over basmati
rice with a garden salad for a healthy filling complete meal. Enjoy!
Bowtie Asparagus Pasta
This pasta dish features a light but flavorful cream sauce colored with sun dried tomatoes, asparagus and black olives. This dish is pretty handsome all decked out with a bow tie and all. It tastes pretty good, too!
Hearty Lentil Stew
Lentils are a hearty, nutrition-packed yet inexpensive food. This stew pairs lentils with chunks of veggies and a lite tangy broth. Let this stew simmer in the crock pot all day or whip it up in under an hour before dinner.
White Bean & Basil Soup
This creamy Italian-inspired soup is low in fat and very filling. A portion of its chunky mixture is blended up to achieve its creamy consistency. This technique is a great alternative to richer soup bases that are dairy derived and higher in fat.
Quinoa Primavera
Quinoa, the mother of all grains, gives this traditional Italian dish a gluten-free makeover
kicking pasta to the curb. Petite cut Italian veggies are combined with a vegan creamy
white sauce that is then tossed with fluffy cooked quinoa for a delicious one-dish meal.
Easy Tomato Basil Soup
This simple tomato soup is healthier, cheaper and in my opinion tastes better than the
canned variety. This soup is perfect for dipping grilled cheese sandwiches and can be
thrown together in just a few minutes. Enjoy!
Creole Red Bean & Rice Soup
Explore the robust and diverse cuisine of Creole food with this tasty vegetarian dish. This simple soup combines red kidney beans, brown rice and the holy trinity of Cajun veggies: onion, celery and green peppers. The soup is simmered in a tomato base and spiced with Creole style seasoning for a satisfying meal. Enjoy!
Thai Peanut Curry
Thai food has a way of bringing together the sweet, savory, salty and spicy all in one dish. I love the peanut curry at a local Thai restaurant here in the NW. They laughed when I asked for the recipe, so I came up with my own. Enjoy!
