Spanish Style Beans and Rice

Spanish Style Beans and Rice by Rich H

This vegan adaptation of traditional Spanish Style Beans and Rice is a nice light dish. Plate it with some fresh fruit slices for added color and flavor and you have a lovely, healthy dinner. If you choose to go more traditional, simply hard boil, peel and dice 2 eggs as a topping garnish and add it prior to serving.

Barley Salad Primavera

Barley Salad Primavera by Rich H

We recently went with a "white salad" using only "white" or near white ingredients like barley, daikon, mushrooms, water chestnuts, etc. This barley salad is even better...and once again we can learn why color matters!

Garden Vegetable Soup with Rice

Garden Vegetable Soup with Rice by Rich H

It may be spring but in my book there is never a bad time for soup. It's especially nice when you can grow yor own veggies or get them locally from a farmers' market. While we're not quite there yet, this is a great soup to make anytime. It's hearty and healthy and just plain hits the spot!

Rice and Nut Salad

Rice and Nut Salad by Rich H

This recipe is a really versatile one. It can serve as a hot rice dish, but we use it as a savory, cold salad. Either way, it is a delicious dish that you can make ahead and serve as a side or take it hot off the stove, mix it up and serve it warm as part of your main course.

Italian Rice and Beans

Italian Rice and Beans by Rich H

This is a nice rice and beans dish that is similar to risotto. It is rich and creamy. We've made the lacto-ovo vegetarian version but it can easily be adapted to vegan with some simple substitutions.

Black-eyed peas (the food, not the band) combined with delicious kale are melded together into a flavorful dish that is sauteed with onion and garlic and then made to really pop with smoked paprika! Yum!

Paella Wannabe

Paella Wannabe by Rich H

I had all of the ingredients I needed although I had to change things up a little from the traditional paella. I used brown rice instead of bomba or calasparra white rice. And, of course, this paella is vegetarian.

Glazed Lemony Vegan Zucchini Bread

Glazed Lemony Vegan Zucchini Bread by Rich H

Ok. I thought we were done with zucchini for the year but low and behold there was one more straggler still hiding among the yellowing leaves. Couldn't believe it! So I decided to make this one into a dessert of sorts. A vegan zucchini bread with decidedly lemon flavor and a sweet-tart lemony glaze. Soooo good!

Broccoli Stir Fry with Walnuts by Rich H

This recipe is quick and easy but yields a dish that is tasty and very filling. Healthy green broccoli and walnuts make it especially delicious and the red peppers give it a nice visual appeal. Serve it over rice noodles.

White Salad

White Salad by Rich H

Everyone knows how good greens are for us. But every now and then we like to take a different approach...go a little less colorful just for a dish or two! This simple salad, the white salad, still has plenty of flavor and nutrition.
