I first tasted Guinness Shepherd’s Pie at Dargan’s Irish Pub in Santa Barbara, California. It’s a simple dish, but rich in flavor, and ohhhh how I love it so! I figured I could come up with something that was close enough to my favorite dish at Dargan’s, and I’m pleased with the results. This Guinness […]

Add broth, vegetables, lentils and peanut butter, and stir well. After 10 minutes of cooking, the stew broth will be creamier. Mix in the kale and cashews. […]

I added some extra zing to the standard mix of shredded carrots, raisins and mayonnaise by using Vegenaise and golden raisins, and adding crushed pineapple and a bit of flaked coconut. […]

I love carrots and knew their sweetness and moisture would be a good balance to the nuts, and I wanted to add some seeds for additional protein and flavor. Luckily, these came out […]

I was inspired by a post from Dr. Oz on Facebook for a cauliflower-pea blend called “Mean Green Cauliflower Machine”. I love cauliflower and peas and wanted a nice hearty soup that was nutritious and also quick and easy. It doesn’t get much easier than this – put the ingredients in a saucepan, simmer and […]

This may sound odd – an Asian style stir fry topped with tahini sauce – but the combination of flavors is delicious. Once the vegetables are prepped and the sauce is made, this dish comes together very quickly. For even quicker preparation, make the tahini sauce ahead of time and purchase precooked frozen microwavable rice, available […]
