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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.

Baked Stuffed Brie by Suzi

This baked brie was originally going to be an appetizer but when it was ready to eat it turned into a nice brunch. The inside was filled with artichokes, basil and sun-dried tomatoes in oil and homemade pita chips. The chips are very easy to make. Cut a piece of pita into triangles and place on a baking sheet. Spray them with…

Sweet Potato and Celery Soup by Suzi

Sweet potatoes are a vegetable that is high in carotene and converts to Vitamin A in the body. Beta carotene is considered a preventive for heart disease and some cancers. While looking through my book shelves (I used to be a book seller so I have many, many books around my house) for recipe ideas that pertain to high blood…

Stuffed Zucchini Tonde by Suzi

Look at these zucchini!! I have never seen round zucchini before, call me sheltered but I certainly couldn’t resist buying them. With summer nearly here, the produce markets are filled with wonderful fresh vegetables including this unusual zucchini. I bought two (went back later and they were all gone) and since there is only my…

Fettuccini with Broccoli Rabe by Suzi

There are times when you just can't say no to pasta. This dish is faily easy to prepare. Broccoli Rabe was in a prominent spot in the produce section the other day and that goes very nicely with pasta. I whipped up an Alfredo sauce and added in sun-dried tomatoes (still on the sun-dried tomato kick). You might consider this a…
