How to Make Green Veggie Powder

January 23, 2013 in Recipes, Vegetables

Homemade veggie powder

How to Make Green Veggie Powder When we decided to spend the winter in the mountains of Colorado, I panicked I imagined being huddled around the table over bowls of steaming soup. I also imagined a long winter without any fresh veggies. (Apparently, I forgot I live in the United States where grocery stores are plentiful.) The […]

How to (I) cook beans and save a lot of money.

July 27, 2011 in Recipes, Vegetables

Dry Beans 2

Feeding my family high quality food is a priority.  Even on a budget. Enter the humble legume. Cheap, easy, versatile? Check. Protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber? Yep, it’s all there.  Thank you, little beans. I buy beans in bulk and cook big batches at a time.  It’s easy and saves me a lot of money and […]

May 17, 2011 in Main Dish, Recipes, Vegetables

Veggies 2

Our CSA box this week. Seriously, 24 artichokes, albeit, they are small but still…24! We also got English peas, apricots, lettuce, bell peppers, Tokyo turnips, cauliflower, potatoes, parsley, and  summer squash. It’s the Motherload. Today, I made the English Peas recipe that I had on my meal planner for yesterday.  I’m all about flexibility. First, […]

Vegetarian Sloppy Joes

March 30, 2011 in Main Dish, Recipes, Vegetables

A few weeks ago, I was on a list to take a meal to a friend who had a baby.   As I was skimming the list to make sure I wasn’t bringing a duplicate meal, I saw “sloppy lentils”.  Since, I already had a bunch of lentils from my last Azure Standard order, I […]

Coconut Pumpkin Stew

January 11, 2011 in Main Dish, Recipes, Vegetables

So I’m a little late to the game. Pumpkins are so like last October.  Duh. But this evening while trying to organize my photos I came across these pictures and remembered how much I had enjoyed this dish.  Then I looked in my recipe notebook and saw I had actually scribbled something that resembled written […]

Can’t Believe They Are Collards!!!!

October 19, 2010 in Main Dish, Recipes, Side Dish, Vegetables

I’ve mentioned it before but I’m not crazy about vegetables.  I like vegetables and will choose to choke down a plate of plain swiss chard because I know it’s good for me.  However, if I didn’t know the things I know about food, I’d probably eat things like fish & chips or pizza (and I’m […]

Simple Sweet and Spicy Squash Soup

October 13, 2010 in Main Dish, Recipes, Side Dish, Vegetables

Like motivation, inspiration comes and goes. Sometimes, I go weeks eating the same thing day after day. Then suddenly, I’m inspired and spend the next 3 weeks experimenting and creating new recipes all crazy like Willie Wonka…but without the sugar…and the top hat. Here is one of my newest recipes.  It’s easy and healthy.  I’m […]

Get buzzed! – The Benefits of Bee Pollen

September 29, 2010 in Health and Food, Recipes, Vegetables

Over the years, I’ve moved away from the regular use of protein powder.  I still use it for the occasional bowl of “cookie dough” or a shake but, overall, I make the effort to get my nutrition from whole foods. Recently, I put together this simple power breakfast (or pre-workout meal) when I was training […]

Roasted Eggplant Spread

September 7, 2010 in Health and Food, Recipes, Side Dish, Vegetables

I like versatility.  Reversible jackets.  Kettlebells as doorstops or for workouts.  Minivans for  children or 4×8 sheets of plywood.  It’s one of the reasons I love my Perfect Pesto.  I can use it to spread on bread, make the most killer egg sandwiches ever, toss with pasta, in place of pizza sauce, toss with veggies, […]

Summer Salad Series: Chimichurri Lentils

August 3, 2010 in Recipes, Side Dish, Uncategorized, Vegetables

I love Trader Joe’s.  LOVE it.  I love it so much that I have been seen waiting outside 15 minutes before they open their doors with the other crazies.  I’ve also said many times that I couldn’t live in a town where there wasn’t a Trader Joe’s.  That’s not spoiled, that’s being realistic.  However, believe […]
