THE SIMPLY

The inspiration for this came from Erin Ireland and I loosely used a recipe from The Mediterranean Dish for the potatoes.

Lemony Greek Potatoes
4-6 White Potatoes - diced; I left the skin on
1 Lemon - juiced
1 C Veggie Broth
2 cloves Garlic - crushed
2 Tbsp Olive Oil - drizzled on the potatoes
1-2 Tbsp Paprika
2 tsp Rosemary (or another herb you like)
Salt & Pepper

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
Place the potatoes into a baking dish - I...

This is basically a layered enchilada.

Roasted yam
Cube yam/sweet potato
Toss in Cumin, Chili Powder, Paprika

1/3 cup frozen corn
1 can refried beans

Assembly

A simple vegan Mexican-inspired tostada for those leftover refried beans!

Dice Veggies - Zucchini, Bell Peppers, etc
Spread Refried Beans on your wrap of choice (gf/wheat/corn)
Layer diced Veggies
Bake at 375 until the wrap crisps
Remove from the oven and add diced Avocado & some Salsa

I had a random memory of lemon pasta and decided to give it a try! This is a simple, basic recipe that you can add/subtract/change as needed.

Cook your choice of noodles as directed - I love GoGo Quinoa for a GF option

While the noodles are cooking, lightly sauté the Veggies with crushed Garlic, Salt & Pepper

I have a couple of curry cauliflower soups I use on occasion. I also play around with various Thai curry soups. Last night, I meshed together a few ideas and recipes and came up with this warm veggie soup.

1-2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
1 medium Yellow Onion - diced
1-2 inch Ginger - peeled & minced
1-2 cloves Garlic - crushed
2 Tbsp Curry Powder - to taste so more/less if needed
1-2 Tbsp Turmeric
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Garlic Powder
240 ml Veggie Broth

I love this creation from Delish Knowledge!

I usually use the peanut sauce and baked tofu in a cold meal, but I was feeling a warm dish tonight so here are the basics.

Base
Prepare Rice or Rice Noodles or Bean Glass Noodles of choice.

Toppings
Baked Crispy Tofu - cube tofu & bake at 375 until crispy
Veggies of Choice - Carrots, Bell Peppers, Cucumber, Broccoli, Kale, etc*

*I've made this both with raw veggies and with a light...

Since I had 1/2 of a jar of crushed tomatoes left from making the stuffed peppers, I decided this was also a good week to make spaghetti squash. I usually just add ingredients to boost a jar of spaghetti sauce (or do a roasted tomato one), but I took the chance on a spaghetti sauce with the crushed tomatoes.

This is big for me because I actually really don't like tomatoes when they resemble/taste like a tomato. I'm even known for picking...

I finally did it! I finally made stuffed peppers! And I totally miss-judged the rice/pepper ratio, but I ended up with lots of yummy Spanish Rice left over.

As always, I didn't follow a recipe (and I'm writing this post a little late) so I'll do my best to remember the recipe, but please play with the ingredients and spice level on your own :)

Rice
1 C Rice - cook as directed

Cooked Filling
1/2 Red Onion
1/2 block Organic Firm Tofu -...

I call this one-pot-wonder "pad thai", but I'm pretty sure it only resembles a pad thai. Anyway, it's easy and yummy!

I have a few versions, depending on what sauces I have on hand, and what flavours I'm feeling that night.

 Base
1/2 block Organic Firm Tofu - cubed
1/2 Onion - julienned (optional)
2ish handfuls Kale Slaw (or coleslaw mix)
Bell Peppers - julienned
Broccoli or other Veggies (optional)

Rice/Glass Noodles - prepared as...

Yes, this is not the first time I've posted a variation of this salad, it's just so darn good!

This is one of those salads that has it all - rice, greens, crunch, protein, dressing - and is easily changeable.

Can sub any other grain base of choice
