It’s hard to find time rushing in the morning before work and school, but if you can make a few moments to throw together sandwiches to brown-bag for lunch, then there’s enough time for an incredibly filling, nutritious soup. This is an ayurvedic (ancient Indian system of health) take-to-work lunch, a single serving so large […]

Comprise dishes that include the main protein component. So you’ll see soups, stews, whole-meal salads — items in standard cookery that would have their own category.
Fried Soup – Veganized
After consideration, here is a major revision of my 2010 vegetarian burger recipe, Fried Soup. While dropping the egg from the ingredients was a factor, the instructions needed further fluffing.

Plus, a folded-once tortilla can hold more fillings than […]
Pan of Vegan Sausage

The goal was a healthy version of the memory of sausage, mild and from the supermarket. While these brown, you can put together pancake […]
Skillet Squash
I love roasted vegetables, but to me they’re a nuisance. Fill two cookie sheets with chunks of veggies, after tossing with oil and herbs in a big bowl, bake nearly an hour, returning to toss a few times, and you get at most three servings. So finding comparable flavor in Mark Bittman’s “Panfried Pumpkin” inspired […]
