Vegetable and Tofu Stir-fry

Reviewed: May 13, 2012

This turned out really good. I used veggies I had available- broccoli, onions, green pepper etc. I left out the honey as I often find honey too sweet. Instead I added hoisen sauce and black bean garlic sauce to taste. Yum! That did the trick.

Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2012

I used 3 cans black beans and four sweet potatoes. I ran out of sweet potatoes before the beans. Used 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder in place of regular. I added diced raw red pepper. I topped out of the oven with sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, green onion, cilantro. Tasty and makes a lot. Liked the smoky vs. sweet taste. Think they would be great with spicy mango salsa.

The Best Vegetarian Chili in the World

Reviewed: Oct. 1, 2011

Wowza! This is awesome chili. I used vegetarian soy chorizo from Trader Joes in place of the burger crumbles. One warning, I fried the japalenos in with the green pepper and ended up chocking everyone in the house. Better to add with the tomatoes. Used a can of hominy rather than regular corn. It makes a huge batch!

Tofu Sandwich Spread

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2011

Yum. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I really liked it. Tofu is usually not my favorite. I liked the Asian flavors. I added cilantro and one tablespoon rice vinegar to brighten it. Also added cashews for crunch. Next time would put in red pepper too. I like the idea of curry powder that others have tried, but then I would not put in the soy sauce.

Black Bean and Wild Rice Salad

Reviewed: Jul. 22, 2011

Awesome! I added an apple, some extra crasins and I used white wine vinegar because it was what I had. Served with pita bread for a fresh summer supper. Loved it!

Greek Pasta Salad

Reviewed: May 11, 2011

Good base recipe, but it was too oily. I will try a one to one ratio next time. Used sun dried tomatoes because that is what I had on hand. Very flavorful.

Coconut-Curry Lentil Stew Served over Quinoa

Reviewed: Apr. 7, 2011

This was very easy to make. Needs longer cooking time and about 3 times as much water if using regular brown lentils. Because of the amounts of spices it tasted a little bitter and dry. I tried to solve that problem first by adding brown sugar which helped a little. Then lemon juice from half a lemon, better. Finally added most of a jar of tomato paste. That was the winning ingredient. Made it bright and yummy. After dinner we went for an hour long walk. Took a bite of the leftovers and they were way better. The flavors needed time to blend and the sauce thickened. Would be worth making ahead of time. Will definitely make again. Used one can of tomatoes next time may use two! Who knew I had already made this before. I guess I totally forgot. This time I liked it better. Here's what accounts for that: used the red lentils rather than brown, used really high quality curry powder. Topped with toasted unsweetened coconut, cilantro and toasted cashews. Still needed the tomato paste and would be better with lemon (I see I tried that last time). Funny I totally forgot this one.

My Amish Friend's Caramel Corn

Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2011

My mom used to make caramel corn about once a year, so I assumed it was hard to make. This recipe is so easy and tasty. Made for an Oscar party and everyone loved it. Will use for Christmas gifts in the future!

Pizza Dough II

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2011

I loved this dough! I mixed it up in the Kitchenaide. I let it rise for about 2 or 3 hours. It rose over the top of the bowl! There was enough for 3 full size pizzas. I parbaked on a pizza stone for 3 minutes, then added toppings and baked for 10 minutes in a 500 degree oven. Nice and crispy on the bottom, chewy at the edge crust. I love the color the wheat flour gives it. Yummy! It will become a tradition in our house. Topped with sauce, Parmesan cheese, spinach, garlic, mozzerella, dollops of ricotta and a little Aleepo pepper. Wowza. It was as good as a pizzeria pizza.

Best Marinara Sauce Yet

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2010

This is such a great, easy recipe. I no longer buy jarred pasta sauce. The only thing I do differently is add a teaspoon of white sugar. I've made it many times now. I've used it for pasta, as a pizza sauce and as a dipping sauce for calzones. Thanks for the great recipe. Tonight I switched it up and decided to turn this into a tomato cream sauce. Made as directed, added 1/2 cup of cream. It seemed like it was missing something, so I added a good glug of balsamic vinegar to deepen the flavor. Still not quite right so I added some parmesan cheese. Yum. Then stirred in some frozen lima beans and frozen peas. Used it as a sauce for fettucini and served with steamed broccoli. Great healthy vegetarian meal! Thanks so much for the excellent recipe.

Honey and Rosemary Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2010

Tried these for Thanksgiving. They were extremely easy to make. They made the whole house smell delicious. Everyone liked them except my husband who said they were good for sweet potatoes (enough said, not this recipes fault). I made them and traveled with them and then reheated. Probably better straight from the oven. I'd make them again as they were easy and good.

Homemade Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2010

This is an easy recipe to play off of with the veggies you have available. I added zucchini and corn. I also used some soy sauce and worcestershire sauce for flavor. Next time I would definitely add in bay leaf for some depth of flavor.

Veggie Pot Pie

Reviewed: Nov. 13, 2010

We really liked this recipe, just what we were looking for on the first snowy day of the winter. I didn't have any vegetable broth, so I used some worcestershire sauce in addition to the soy sauce. Also added thyme and northwoods seasoning (Penzy's). Added peas too. I was surprised by how much I liked the cauliflower in it. It made a big batch of filling, so I just poured half in each of two casserole dishes. Then I topped each one with a frozen pie crust. Good easy winter dinner. Update: To take this into 5 star territory add a nice glug of red wine. Also, here's my crust recipe: Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp. salt in food processor. Add 6 Tbsp. cold butter. Process to fine crumbs. Pour into bowl and stir in 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. ice water. Shape into round and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Curried Wild Rice and Squash Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2010

Really enjoyed this unique soup. Added some fresh Ginger and apples in place of orange juice. Put diced onion right in with the squash since you puree it anyway.

Basmati Rice

Reviewed: Oct. 17, 2010

Certainly is easy. A little plain to eat on its own, but makes a great base for curry. Toast the cumin seeds first in oil, then add rice and water. Stirred in peas at the end which kept them nice and bright and spiced up the potato chickpea curry.

Creamy Spiced Coleslaw

Reviewed: Jul. 11, 2010

This has become my go to coleslaw recipe. Everyone loves it. Perfect on top of BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, but great anytime you want coleslaw. I've shared the recipe with many, everyone thinks it is perfect. Very quick and easy too. You don't need to change a thing.

Nut Burgers (Vegetarian)

Reviewed: Jun. 25, 2010

I spent a rainy Saturday making five different kinds of veggie burgers from the site. I wanted to load up the freezer because summer is a busy time for us and these would make for easy suppers. I have to say this has been our least favorite burger so far. It is just so dry. I added Moroccan seasoning and served them in pita with cucumber sauce. Even with the sauce they were just overwhelming dry. I think it's the nuts. None of the other recipes used nuts. I love nuts, but apparently not in my veggie burger. It seemed to get worse the more you ate it. Our stars lowered throughout the meal. I couldn't bring myself to finish one. It was better with feta and olives but that's only because they were making the lack of good flavor. I'll not be making these again.

Carrot Burgers

Reviewed: Jun. 2, 2010

I took a chance on these as my husband has recently become a vegetarian. The only other veggie burgers I've ever made fell apart, so I haven't tried since. I have to say these were very easy to work with. After the carrots were cooked simply threw everything into the food processor. We both liked them well enough topped with mayo, lettuce and tomato. My husband thought they were a little sweet, but he's a hot and salty kind of man. (His tastes I mean :) We'll definitely make again. Easy summer supper.
