An Ode to a Favorite “Some call you the Egyptian Pea, Bengal gram, Chickpea, or Garbanzo, Whatever the name, you taste best when you are cooked slow. Two cups a day give you all the fiber you need, But they provide so much else, which is a plus indeed. From antioxidants like quercetin, kaempferol, and…
Roasted Vegetable Pizza
As an impish youth, I was prone to a bit of mischief and trouble making. Nothing too felonious, mind you, but when the opportunity presented itself, I have to admit that I would often give into temptation. Like the time I stabbed my friend’s “Stretch Armstrong” with a pair of scissors. Or like the time…
Lentil Tacos
In 1981, Christmas morning just could not arrive fast enough. I had worked hard all year behaving. There was no shot I was on the naughty list. And, I had written the perfect letter to Santa outlining in exquisite detail what I wanted for Christmas. So, I just sat there waiting to rush into the…
Teriyaki Tofu
Bill Paxton is a talented actor. He has starred in such movies as Stripes, The Terminator, Predator 2, Aliens, Weird Science, Tombstone, True Lies, Twister, and even Apollo 13. And while I think he could have done more with his role in Predator 2, I still believe he is extremely gifted. You see he is…
Rueben Sandwich
It was the summer of 1988. A young man stood at the doorstep of adulthood. Fast and clean was his Honda Accord. Plentiful were his mixed tapes. Semi-loud was his factory installed car stereo system. High and tight was his flat-top haircut, a throw-back to the fifties. Tightly pegged were his pants accented by the…
Pot Roast with Mushroom Gravy
“They’re back!!!” announced the creepy little girl from Poltergeist 2. And yes, just like the movie, they are back. Yep, after you did such a good job last time around, the in-laws are back in town. They just couldn’t wait to try your next vegan creation, so they made a detour on their way home…
Fajita Rice Bowl
Growing up with a mother who knows her way around a kitchen has pluses and minuses. The pluses of course would be that you are well fed and develop a joy of cooking. The minuses would be that you hardly went out to eat because mom always believed she “could make it better than…
Mushroom Burger Patty Melt
My inspiration for this next dish came from an experience I had back in high school. As a teenager, I would go out on weekend nights looking for some action. Nothing too crazy mind you as my curfew was 11:00pm, and it is hard to find “some action” when you have to be home well…
Curried Field Pea Stuffed Tomatoes
As a child, I spent my summers riding my Huffy dirt bike all over the neighborhood. My buddies and I would swim in the creek looking for crawdads and salamanders and the occasional snake. We built forts in the woods with plywood and nails liberated from the nearby construction sites. Almost every night we played…
BLT Sandwich
Now, I have mentioned in earlier posts that I don’t miss meat anymore. Well, this is a giant, big fat, bold faced lie when it comes to sandwiches. For me, nothing made lunch better than bread, mayonnaise, and lots of cold cuts. Vegetables were always a seldom used option. So out of respect for the…
