Bubbling Creamy Spinach Artichoke Dip in a small white baking pan

I love the combination of  fresh spinach and artichoke and this creamy spinach artichoke dip is absolutely marvelous sizzling right out of the oven! I have made it as healthy as can be--no mayo, or cream, or cream cheese, or sour cream or any of those ingredients I have seen in most recipes for this dip. Instead, I use my  simple béchamel sauce recipe (click here) free of ... Read More »

Béchamel Sauce

Béchamel sauce is a simple white sauce made from a "roux" typically made with butter,white flour and whole milk. Here, I get rid of the saturated fats and make it with regular "smart balance" spread instead of butter, skim milk or unsweetened soy milk instead of whole milk, and whole wheat pastry flour, instead of plain white flour to add fiber. It is so versatile--I use it ... Read More »

Mini-BBQ-Burgers

These little burgers are perfect for a Superbowl party! Don't be fooled, they may look and taste decadent but I have made them a lot healthier for you! I use lean ground turkey and pureed lentils which makes them as moist as they are nutritious. Right before I serve them, I brush each one with my homemade BBQ sauce which gives them a wonderful kick (you can omit the chipotle ... Read More »

Dessert at the Oscars - Female hand holds up the oscar for audience to see

There is still time until Sunday to get this party organized, and pull ... Read More »

Creamy Cauliflower Soup

I love love love this vegan creamy cauliflower soup! It is creamy but has no cream and no dairy. It is just so satisfying and so very simple. It's basically made up of soy milk and lots of cauliflower! The pepitas on top give it a little crunchiness and the drizzle of extra virgin olive oil add just the right touch!   4.5 from 2 reviews Creamy Cauliflower Soup ... Read More »

Cream of Asparagus with Pistachios

Of course I don't use cream in my Cream of Asparagus with Pistachios! It doesn't need it. The soy milk takes care of that. This vegan recipe is so easy to make: it's ridiculous! Basically, it's asparagus and soy milk (and a sprinkle of  pistachios) but really that's almost all you need in this yummy soup! 5.0 from 1 reviews Cream of Asparagus   Print ... Read More »

Tuscan White Bean Soup fills a brown ceramic bowl with bowl top leaning on right side

This may well be my very favorite soup. It's hard to just declare that because I love all my soups, but all right, I'll just say it--It's just perfect!  That little touch of white wine just makes this soup divine! I have recently updated this recipe to include whatever favorite "greens" you like, right before you are about to serve it. I especially love this soup with fresh ... Read More »

Vegetarian Chili

This vegetarian (vegan, depending on the beer you use) chili has bold Southwestern flavors and is so heartwarming on a cold wintery night-- Perfect by a roaring fire with your honey...but also wonderful for the whole family!  I like to use fresh grilled corn briefly roasted in a hot oven for this recipe. It gives the kernels that wonderful fire-roasted taste that adds a ... Read More »
