If you’re in the market for a warm vegetable stew with luscious spices which will reheat well, then I’ve got a dish for you. This is a very mild curry (which you could heat up with some cayanne and/or crushed red pepper if that’s your preference) and it has notes...
So this isn’t a recipe, but it is what I ate for lunch today. It’s low in fat, high in protein and omega 3s, and damned tasty! I was preparing pureed Lima beans for the work week to have for snacks so I used that as my base. I dropped...
Eggplants are popping out in northeast CSA shares this week. And farmer’s markets are crawling with tomatoes. Thus this seems like the perfect dish to try this week. It can easily fly solo as a vegetarian main course, or be served as a hearty side to a simple sausage or...

So I saw this kind of strange-looking recipe that was intended as an alternative to mashed potatoes as a side. I figured, what the heck, I’ll try anything once. So I did. And I am sooooo glad. While this is absolutely no substitute for mashed potatoes, it is a fantastically...
This is a vegetarian dish where there is so much going on flavor-wise, you never even realize that there’s no meat. Sweet chunks of red bell pepper meet with tart pieces of eggplant and meld together in the spices for a fantastic stew that is rich in vitamin c and...
