Vegan spicy sautéed mushrooms in 10 minutes. by Helenscooking

It is mushroom season, and I wrote a lot about (button) crimini mushrooms lately. Button mushrooms have an excellent amount of selenium, zinc and manganese; all three are great antioxidant minerals. Also daily intake of crimini mushrooms for 1-2 months can reduce levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and TGs. And if you are…

So often after Thanksgiving and the holidays we quit thinking of pumpkin and squashes. But with healthy eating on my mind I wanted to incorporate these vitamin rich vegetables into a few dishes.

TRY THIS AT EASTER - it is a signature dish! It is sweet and savory with fresh herbs, dairy products and chicken broth. This is a North Carolina recipe, naturally healthy and rich in beta-carotene, the most common plant source of vitamin A. But who cares! This is delicious, even if it is good for you...besides, sweet potatoes…

Squash Souffle (pudding) by Donna Cohen Avery

This is a wonderful recipe from my Grandmother that she got from her mother from the "old country", e.g. Lithuania. It is a staple on our holiday table and anyone who tries it loves it.
