Here is how it looked without the salsa and chili powder added. In this state it was slightly sweet from the corn and squash and really a bowl of comfort food. Some Whole Grain Cornbread Muffins would go well with this dish if you include these in your food plan. Not Chef AJ’s Ultimate Weight Loss compliant…
Stove Top
Butternut Squash Soup
I almost missed this soup recipe in the new Eat To Live cookbook because it’s in the breakfast section! It’s on the sweet side of things so I guess someone thought it could be for breakfast – probably not in my house, but I can tell you that it’s wonderful for lunch. One of my…
Golden Austrian Cauliflower Cream Soup
We eat a lot of soup around here and I am always trying new recipes. If a soup recipe gets made again it has to be awesome and this Golden Austrian Cauliflower Cream Soup is just that – awesome. It’s another recipe that calls for carrot juice – the magical ingredient that makes things taste…
Savory Chickpea Flour Pancakes – GF Appetizer or Side Dish
Savory pancakes are deliciously different! When made into silver dollar sized pancakes I have served these as an appetizer! They can be enjoyed for breakfast or served up for lunch along side a bowl of soup or a fresh salad. Serve them along with your other favorite appetizers for something new and different. You can make these…
Winter Vegetable Soup
This is originally an Alton Brown recipe and trust me when I say this is a company worthy recipe. Butternut squash is every where right now so why not use some in a delicious vegetable soup. This makes a huge pot full of goodness so you can feed a crowd or freeze some for quick meals…
Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts
The chopped walnuts are optional but I really enjoyed the the crunch as well as the flavor they added. You don’t need much just a little sprinkle will do. In her cookbook Chef AJ says, “Even people who say they don’t normally like Brussels sprouts will enjoy this dish”. It’s absolutely a company worthy dish. The…
Tofu Burgers
When I did a Google search for tofu burgers I found two recipes that looked promising, one on 101 Cookbooks and a veganized version of that same recipe on Carrie OnVegan. It only needed a little more tweaking to make it more like the burger we had on vacation. It is indeed delish! I used this…
Mexicano Veggie Burger
The results were well worth the effort. To stay with the Mexican theme I served my burger on a warmed corn tortilla, topped with shredded romaine and salsa. On the side was a small serving of refried beans and Fiesta Rice – recipe coming soon. The burger is super flavorful and it’s quite filling…
Caribbean Rice
The rice is a simple mixture of mango, cilantro, bell peppers, brown rice, lime juice and green onions. Serve it warm, room temperature or chilled. Feel free to sub pineapple for mango, use any colored pepper you have. Delicious served with Cuban Black Beans and Oven Baked Plantains with Coconut Dipping Sauce. Caribbean Rice 3…
