Smokey Greens and Black Eyed Peas with Biscuits

Smokey Greens and Black Eyed Peas with Biscuits by Rich H

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!

Chickpea Apple Tart

Chickpea Apple Tart by Rich H

We don't usually associate the three words chickpea, apple and tart. However, this light dessert treat is made with chickpea flour so it is rich in protein. The cinnamon, apples and agave give it a sweet "desserty" flavor and make it just right for a light after-dinner treat.

Texas Caviar by Rich H

I guess there are almost as many variations of this dish as there are Texans! This is one handed down to us which we love.

Mango-Raspberry Parfait

Mango-Raspberry Parfait by Rich H

This is a nice light dessert treat that is mostly raw...I say mostly because while the fruit is certainly raw, the tofu also used in this recipe does require cooking as it is being produced. Still, this dessert makes for a nice after-dinner treat that isn't filling and is rather refreshing at the same time.

Barley and Tempeh Soup

Barley and Tempeh Soup by Rich H

Tempeh, fermented soy beans or grain, makes an interesting alternative to veggie crumbles (or ground beef) in this soup recipe. It lends a distinct flavor to the soup while also providing protein and fiber, making for a very filling and satisfying meal. Note: The green beans you see in the photo were an afterthought - just a few…

Limas and Salsa on Naan

Limas and Salsa on Naan by Rich H

Using up some leftovers can lead to a pretty good dish now and again. This one came about after a long weekend away. I decided to use some leftover Naan bread, red peppers and green onions. It was a very satisfying meal, served with fresh fruit and a nice red wine.

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!

Black Bean & Corn Salad

Black Bean & Corn Salad by Shauna Duncan

A little bit of a spin on the traditional style of this goodness. I dig it because it has a nice well rounded texture and flavor--and the longer it sits the better it gets. Within reason, of course. But, overall...awesome stuff.

Summer Strawberry-Rhubarb Cobbler

Summer Strawberry-Rhubarb Cobbler by Kiki Thompson

This weeks recipe was inspired by all of the rhubarb recipes I’ve seen pop up within the last week on blogs that I am following! With summer FINALLY around the corner here in Utah, I decided to come up with a “summer” cobbler. The recipe that finally got my baking pants into gear was this Rhubarb & Strawberry Lemonade recipe I checked…

Vegan Cream of Spinach Soup

Vegan Cream of Spinach Soup by The Blender Girl

The best thing about this soup? It takes less than half an hour from chopping board to table; and is dead easy. Unlike starchy soups that need about 30-40 minutes to cook through, this soup only needs about 20 minutes. Just chop up your ingredients, bring to the boil, simmer, blend and serve. I can’t seem to go past using whole…

Vegan Lemon Asparagus Soup

Vegan Lemon Asparagus Soup by The Blender Girl

I have always been a fan of the ubiquitous potato and leek soup. I thought I would try expanding on that idea a little, and adding in some greens. This soup is just delicious. When I think about grilling asparagus, I always serve it with a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Why should this soup be any different? I started making this…
