Loaded Potato Soup

American \ Dinner \ Soup

YUM! I love me some potatoes, anyway possible except in hash brown patties or tater tots!

It’s raining today in Southern California which equates to another one of my 101 reasons to declare it a soup day!

This soup comes together quickly and since potatoes are a relatively bland vegetable, you can use your imagination and add your own toppings.

In addition to the Tofurky and Parmela Creamery shreds I used extra Parmela Creamery shreds, chopped red onion and a dash of Sriracha!

Quick, economical and DELICIOUS!

ENJOY!

They Were Supposed to Be Black Eyed Pea Burgers!

American \ Dinner \ Main Dish

I’m from New York and did not have the tradition of eating black eyed peas on New Year’s Day. My husband, however, is from the South and he loves him some for good luck on January 1st.

I totally forgot to pick some up at the store earlier in the week and was shocked that the shelves in 2 different stores were wiped clean. My husband went to a 3rd store and found 1 can. I was just about to add them to the recipe below when I realized they were “Southern Style” which translates to lots of seasonings and bacon fat! YUCK!

I decided to use Cannellini Beans instead and guess what…these burgers turned out fantastic!

ENJOY!

OK, this recipe may look a little advanced but it is actually quite simple. It has quite a few steps but the outcome is positively delicious.

To make the recipe Gluten-Free, try substituting Soyrizo or Tempeh in place of the Chorizo Seitan.

If you don’t have any Herbes de Provence on hand, you can substitute a mixture basil, oregano and thyme.

ENJOY!
