Summer squash bake: vegan

This could be made by just grilling the squash, pepper and onion and cooking the potatoes then mixing all together. It’s a nice combination of flavors, no matter how you cook them. You can also double the recipe to serve more people.

Sweet potato and peanut soup: vegan

This dish can be made with any other vegetables than kale, spinach, mixed greens, etc. We had left over arugula, a zucchini, and some salsa from chipotle, I threw that all in the mix as well. We topped each serving with a tbsp of peanuts. It has just enough heat and is very flavorful.

Banana and bean dip: vegan

I used to eat this dip with real sausage meat and was hesitant to try it with veggie meat. This actually came out really good. I used Rao’s arrabbiata sauce, which has a bit of heat, so if you like it spicier, add pepper flakes, or hot sauce.

Garam masala with chickpeas and spinach: vegan

This is the first time I made anything with garam masala spice mix. It was very fragrant and tasted delicious.

Orzo with lemon and peas: vegan

Well, this was an experiment and I would do it a bit differently next time. I think that the flavors are very good together, but it needed some sauce or liquid to make it more palatable.

Butternut squash and bean stew: vegan

This is a hearty meal for a cool winter evening. It makes a lot of food and is fine served plain.

Broccoli curry: vegan

The first time I made this I did not put as many spices in it, only red curry paste. Afterwards I added the other spices and it made all the difference. I also use Rao’s Arribiatta for the tomato sauce.

Chick pea and cucumber salad with tortilla: vegetarian or vegan

You can serve this as a salad or wrap it in the tortilla. I left the garbanzo beans whole, you could also mash them for a different texture.

Pineapple slaw: vegetarian or vegan

We have been making this slaw for years without really measuring the nuts and mayo. This recipe has a good balance of flavors without being overly high in calories.

Mac and “cheese” (queso sauce): vegan

This is a very tasty substitute for mac and cheese lovers but does not have the creamy fat consistency of cheese. It does have a lot of flavor though. We ate this with grilled zucchini on the side and it was a nice combination of textures.
