Teri-Miso Tofu with Braised Onions & Mushrooms

So, this is the dish that I served with the lovely Balsamic Asparagus.  It’s easy.  I’m not going to lie – I cheated on this dish a lot.  The store had a sale on pre-sliced mushrooms & the sauce was on sale.  It didn’t have High Fructose Corn Syrup, MSG, or any other nasty ingredients, [...]

Broiled Balsamic Asparagus

I love asparagus; especially baby asparagus.  This is a brain-dead easy recipe and it tastes sooooo good!  You need:

Balsamic Vinegar
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt

You can either broil the asparagus or stick it on the grill!  Stick the asparagus in a shallow bake dish pour Extra Virgin Olive Oil, balsamic vinegar, and some freshly squeezed lemon juice over [...]

French Bread Pizza

I love pizza. Not all pizza but my mom’s homemade pizza is one of the best things ever.  My mom and I actually came up with this concept YEARS ago because our oven wasn’t working and we wanted pizza.  Originally we made the French bread pizza on the grill.  We dressed up both sides like [...]

Cumin Spiced Avocado Vegan Appetizers

I ended up with cabbage, tomatoes, avocados, carrots, onions & spices on the counter.  I then continued to make avocado dip.  After, I was finished making it I realized I didn’t have any tortilla chips in the house.

Kick up your Saimin!

I love saimin, I believe people on the mainland call it ramen.  Correct me if I’m wrong.  Moving on, I really love to cook simple things that are loaded with flavor and they have to be pretty healthy.  Now saimin flavor packets are loaded with MSG (monosodium glutamate).  I’m just gonna say it’s not the best [...]

Vegetable Green Curry

When there’s a hodge-podge of vegetables left in the house and a can of coconut milk, I usually make curry.  You really only need the coconut milk, bouillon, curry paste, lime, salt, & honey.  You can play with the vegetable and herb combination.  This is what my last pot of curry consisted of:
Ingredients:

2 small eggplants, [...]
