Move over, Tofurky and Field Roast . . . Beyond Sausage is here! I've never tasted a vegan sausage that tasted so much like meat - before now. My carnivore hubby, ever eager to please, brought me Beyond Sausage Brats home from Sprouts - and we couldn't wait to them them out in some of my ...

Fall Calls for Brussels Sprouts!
There's something about the onset of cooler weather that makes me crave Brussels Sprouts. Alas, this much maligned veggie is one of the most loathed by many folks. Perhaps it's because too many people have only experienced them mushy, stinky, and boiled to death at holiday family gatherings. ...
Not Your Mom’s Stuffed Peppers Redux
If your childhood was similar to mine, your mother may have made stuffed green peppers with minute rice and ground meat swimming in tomato sauce. (My hubby claims that his mom always used ketchup!) Frankly, mom - they were never my favorite dinner. Although I've blogged about ...

Easy Chick’n Creole
One of the reasons that carnivores like boneless chicken breasts is that they are versatile and can be prepared in an almost infinite variety of ways. Funny thing. That’s the very same reason that I like Gardein Chick’n Scallopini. Since tomatoes are often present in my cooking and I’d made ...
Fettuccine with Spinach Mushroom Carbonara Sauce
With December business deadlines, holiday parties, and Cyber Monday morphing into Cyber week, many of you (like me) may be short on time to make healthy meals for your family. Since Carbonara sauce uses raw eggs, I've always been worried that the eggs won't fully cook as they are being tossed ...
