Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili
Few foods elicit the comforting, cozy feeling of fall like chili. I recently made a batch for a non-vegan crowd and it was surprising to me to learn that people still expect to find meat in their chili.
Flaxseed Cornbread
What goes better with a bowl of hot chili on a cold day than cornbread? Not much, I’d wager. Now there are cultural and geographical differences in many cornbread recipes out there
Baklava
Baklava is a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and held together with a sugary syrup.
Pumpkin Kibbeh
Kibbeh or kibbe is a regarded by some as the national dish of Lebanon, and it’s said that there are as many ways to make it as there are to spell it.
Baba Ganoush
Baba Ganoush is a traditional middle eastern dish made from charred or roasted eggplants. It’s eaten as an appetizer generally, but I find that a day or so later, it’s a wonderful sandwich spread or topping for a midday piece of toast.
Tabbouleh
Tabbouleh (tabouli) is a very common middle eastern dish, served like a fresh herb salad with tomatoes, cucumber and a scant amount of bulgur, or cracked wheat.
Man’oushe (Za’atar Flatbread)
Man’oushe is a traditional flatbread recipe often eaten for breakfast. There are different varieties, but here we are using za’atar – a spice blend, to create a very flavorful and easy to make bread to accompany lunch or dinner.
Cashew-Garlic Ricotta Cheese
One of the toughest things for people to give up when they are considering a plant-based diet is the cheese.
Superseed Crackers
Seeds may be small, but they pack a powerful punch of protein and many other health benefits which is why it’s important to include them in your diet on a regular basis.
Broccoli, Spinach and Hemp Seed Pesto
When we think of summer, we often think of pesto. Fresh, aromatic basil is at its peak in the warm summer months and if you grow it in a pot or in your yard, you may find yourself making more than a few batches of pesto.
