	Harusame Salad by Suzi Years ago my daughter lived in Hollywood, FL near the beach and we'd go to this Japanese restaurant off of Harrison Street. I can't recall the name of the restaurant but I do recall their Harusame Salad. Crispy fried rice sticks with purple cabbage, carrots, scallions and bean sprouts. The dressing was a Kimchi sauce. I have…	3 votes 2 reviews 4 comments 10704 views
	Garbanzo Bean Soup by Suzi This garbanzo bean soup is very nourishing and quite easy to prepare. It has a tomato based broth using tomato paste. This is one of the first dishes that I learned how to make when I stopped eating meat, over forty years ago. Back then I ate cheese sandwiches with lettuce and garlic powder everyday until I realized I needed to…	1 vote 4852 views
	Tempeh Sandwich (Mock BLT) by Suzi Tempeh is a unique meat replacement – made from soy beans, a single serving has 12 grams of protein. Tempeh can be purchased in the organic section of the grocery store or at your local health-food store. The brand I used for this sandwich is Turtle Island Foods, Inc - a smoky maple bacon flavor. Tempeh can be made at home…	1 vote 3010 views
	Tahini Hummus with Crudite by Suzi I love the word Crudite - don’t you just love that word, pronounced (crud-dee-tay) ? What a nice sounding term for raw vegetables cut into bite sized pieces and served with a dipping sauce. The type of vegetables are endlesss. Not only are the vegetables unlimited so are the dipping sauces. In this recipe I decided to use a…	1 vote 2332 views
	Orzo and Spinach Soup by Suzi Aah!! Summer vegetable season is here in South Florida. Plenty of corn at this time along with tomatos, lettuces, squash, green peppers etc. I didn’t add all of those veggies into this soup although I could have – I stuck with just 4 since I wanted this dish to be really brothy. Even though the temperature is now reaching into the…	1 vote 2130 views
	Bok Choy Sauteed with Garlic & Ginger by Suzi Bok Choy is a member of the cabbage family and is loaded with vitamins A and C. This leafy green vegetable is good in stir fry, steamed or sauteed as in this recipe. There are a few different varieties, some have a larger stalk and are tougher while the baby bok choy is smaller and the stalks are very tender. You need to really…	1 vote 6636 views
	Lentil Loaf with Cashew Gravy by Suzi Today is vegan day for me. I have made a lentil, brown rice and vegetable loaf with cashew gravy. The mixture can also be formed into patties then baked in the oven or pan fried in a little bit of oil instead of a loaf. The cashew gravy looks creamy but there is no cream in this gravy and there is no need for flour either for…	1 vote 2161 views
	Best Brown Rice Burgers by Suzi I am so excited with these brown rice patties. I have been making these for years and always had to add some type of binding ingredient be it eggs or flour. I don’t want to use eggs or flour, I want these burgers to appeal to everyone including vegan diets and others with gluten intolerance conditions. I figured it out this time…	1 vote 2863 views
	Veggie Dumplin Chowder by Suzi I put this recipe on my web site for my daughter, Marie to make for her family, which was easier than telling her how to do it over the phone. The photo is hers and it looks like she added peas. I hate peas so I don't put them in. Traditionally this is as good ole Southern dish better known as Chicken and Dumplings, but being a…	2 votes 3591 views
	Mock Chicken Wings by Suzi It may sound strange to call these wings but really, the idea of wings I beleive, is in the sauce. I have included my own sauce recipe and added garlic. I add garlic to nearly everything. These are really easy to make. They wroked out real well for Super Bowl Sunday.	1 vote 3813 views
