Farro is one of those grains that is so "forgiving" because you can never overcook it and it always comes out perfectly chewy, but never mushy! its slight nutty taste makes it just right for this salad with a fresh grapefruit vinaigrette. I like to make it with pear or jicama, if you can find it. It's so refreshingly delicious and it's just beautiful! Farro Veggie ... Read More »
Summer Salads!
Updated August 5th, 2017 Fresh salads are perfect on a hot sunny day. They are light and refreshing and you can make them so that they are a no-fuss complete meal in one bowl. All you need is a combination of some type of wholegrain, legume or bean, nuts or seeds and lots of veggies over mixed greens and you can dress up any table! For me, it brings me back to my ...

Simply Brussels Sprouts
All this entails is slicing these little sprouts thinly with a food processor (check my little video showing you how here) and sautéing them in a little olive oil. They become almost caramelized this way and the result is simply extraordinary, really! 5.0 from 2 reviews Simply Brussel Sprouts Print Author: Catherine Katz Serves: 4 Ingredients 20 ... 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 »
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 »
Simply Spinach Dip
PERFECT for a festive holiday buffet...without the guilt! As I have blogged about before countless times, any excuse to eat lots of veggies and a great variety of them is so good for our health, so this is a great way to do it! This yummy rich-tasting dip is filled with fresh baby spinach and blends perfectly with the greek yogurt. I love to have it ready to go in my ... Read More »
Simply Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes are so delicious prepared this way because they release their own moisture inside the aluminum foil and create their sweet condensed juice so that when you unwrap them, they are glistening and moist. It's beyond simple, you just have to be a little patient because this takes 45 minutes to an hour but it is so worth the wait! 5.0 from 1 reviews ... Read More »
Simply Cauliflower
As advertised, really simple! The only "trick" here is to transfer the cauliflower florets onto a preheated baking sheet so that they do not get soggy. I add just a little bit of finely grated asiago cheese to give it that great savory taste but remember a little goes a long way, and if you are vegan, you can forego it all together or replace it with a little nutritional ...

Simply Radicchio
I personally love radicchio but it is true that it can taste a little bitter to some. I find that baking it this way makes it a little sweeter and is a lovely way to use it as a side dish. As always, I love a great excuse to add another veggie to my dining repertoire! it's really low in calories and filled with vitamins. Remember to add the salt at the very end--you won't ...
