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…
California Quinoa Mango Salad
Last week I had one of the best summer salads ever – okay so I know I say that about a lot of great recipes – but this one was really amazing. It was the Health Starts Here California Quinoa salad from Whole Foods deli. The HSH deli items at Whole Foods have no added…
Confetti Cornbread
Did you know cornbread makes a delicious breakfast? I made a few changes to the original recipe such as eliminating the sugar – we didn’t miss it and cutting the salt in half, using almond milk instead of soy milk and cut it into 12 servings instead of 8. With those changes each serving is under 100…

Yonanas
Since I gave up dairy I have been on a quest to find a suitable substitute for frozen yogurt which is one of my favorite summer treats. First I tried the frozen food aisle at Whole Foods but after reading the labels of the dairy free frozen concoctions at the supermarket I left empty handed….
Dijon Date Dressing / Dip
Have a little fat with those greens. I recently learned that if you eat some healthy fat with your greens it helps your body absorb the nutrients from the greens. On a whole foods – plant strong food plan we go oil free. Why? Although oils like olive, sunflower or corn do come from plants…
Chocolate Banana Soft Serve
OMG! This stuff is amazing and if you haven’t tried banana soft serve yet, let today be the day. Serve with berries, chopped almonds and chocolate nibs. Look in your fruit bowl and if you have very ripe bananas in there, peel them, slice them and toss them into a freezer bag. Freeze until firm…
Beet Lentil Brown Rice Burgers
This was hubby Tom’s burger on a sprouted Alvarado St Bakery bun. All of our favorite burger toppings work with this one, lettuce, pickles, mustard, ketchup, onion and tomato. Holy yum! This is a winner. I found this amazing recipe over at Healthy Girl’s Kitchen. She wrote about how this is a copy cat attempt at a famous burger…
