Meaty Baked Ziti

Lasagna is one of my favorite pasta dishes. It’s my go to dish for a crowd and the very first recipe I wrote for my Fool a Carnivore cookbook. I’ve been thinking about ways to make it simpler to assemble while still providing all the elements of a great tasting lasagna. I’ve decided that layering…

Fusion Fettuccine

Vegan caviar made from seaweed? I continue to be amazed at the plant-based versions of foods that I thought I would never eat again! I initially bought Caviart® plant-based caviar to motivate me to improve my sushi-making skills or to garnish blini (thin Russian buckwheat pancakes).  Both dishes sounded like a lot of work (given…

Summery Seitan with Bulldog BBQ Sauce

As an Ohio transplant to the Carolinas who doesn’t eat meat, I’ve never gotten into the debate about which state has the best barbecue sauce.  North Carolinians love vinegar based barbecue sauce, whereas South Carolinians swear by a tangy mustard based sauce.  I recently discovered a type of Japanese barbecue sauce called Bulldog Sauce.  It’s…

Chili Crisp Chick’n Scallopini

For the past two years, I’ve been obsessed with Fly By Jing Sichuan Chili Crisp. But last night was the first time I used Fly By Jing Chili Crisp Vin as a marinade for Gardein Lightly Seasoned Chick’n Scallopini.  Not counting the marinating time (roughly two hours in the fridge, during which I also cooked…

Quick Chick’n Piccata for Two with Fruity Brussels Sprouts

My slow cooker gets a lot of use during the winter months. But sometimes I don’t have the time to prep early in the day and am scrambling to come up with a quick dinner that I can have on the table in 20-30 minutes. That’s when an old standby like Gardein’s Chick’n Scallopini comes…

Vegan Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein

Gardein’s plant-based be’f tips (formerly Beefless Tips) is one of the most versatile vegan products on the market.  I’ve used it in recipes ranging from Beef Stroganoff to Beef and Mushrooms Berkeley, and have begun experimenting with it in Asian dishes.  Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein is a classic staple in Chinese restaurants, but you can make it…

Heatwave Supper Salad

With temperatures in triple digits for the third consecutive week, who feels like turning on the oven? Not me! One of my favorite quick weeknight suppers when it is much too hot to turn on the oven is my ultra flexible main course salad with Gardein Chipotle Lime Flavored Chick’n Tenders.  Just 6 to 7…

Triple Citrus Fennel Avocado Salad

As the days get warmer, I find myself looking for interesting salads that are filling enough to make a satisfying  vegan dinner – so I don’t have to turn on the oven or slave over the cooktop! Since spinach is a great source of  vitamins A, B, C, E,  and K, as well as one…

Amazing Glaze and Marinade – A Better Way to Prepare Quorn Meatless Turkey Roast for Thanksgiving

As Thanksgiving quickly approaches, I’m so grateful for the creative idea sent by one of my readers on how to improve my Old Bay inspired Quorn  Meatless Turkey-Style Roast from a few Thanksgivings ago.  She suggested that instead of using a plain balsamic vinegar, I change up the recipe with a fruit-based balsamic, like fig….

Slow Cooker Recipes

Hearty Lentil Soup with Sausage and Kale

As the days get cooler, nothing tastes (and smells) better than a hearty stew or soup simmering all day in my slow cooker.  Lentil soup has long been one of my favorites, and I’m sharing a simple recipe that I’ve made since my teens.  Lentils are inexpensive, nutritious, high in protein and fiber, and have…

Pappardelle with Sausage Bolognese

One of the lovely things about being snowed in (which is a rarity for us in the Carolinas) is the opportunity to cook hearty dishes that take a long time to make. For example, last night I made French Onion Soup and the night before in the leadup to our winter storm, I experimented with…
