White Bean Chili

American \ Dinner \ Main Dish

Would you consider me crazy if I told you I like this soup hot or cold? It is seriously that good! It makes a great dinner by itself or served with a side salad.

Beans contain a whopping 17 grams of protein along with less than 1 gram of fat and 44 grams of fiber. They are, quite simply, a wonderful source of nutrition, and they taste great too!

According to my research, white chili started in the western United States  Texans claim that the first simmering pot was born in the Lone Star State. And, if you are from the South, they also insist they were the first to serve this yummy dish. Either way, this vegan version is super delicious and nutritious!

Feel free to add some additional seasonings to this recipe but make sure you don’t overpower the cumin because that adds so much to the smoky taste that will have your taste buds singing!

ENJOY

Oven Fried Mushrooms with Capers

American \ Dinner \ Appetizer

MUSHROOMS! They are not plants but specifically members of the fungi family and are more closely related to animals and humans with their unique composition. Mushrooms get their nutrition from organic matter, unlike plants that produce their food through photosynthesis. And, like humans, they need food, water, and oxygen to survive. Another fun note is that fungi are the most significant forms of life on earth that can grow and expand for miles, underground, in search of food.

There are so many varieties available and, I recommend using a combination of at least 3 different types of mushrooms with this recipe.

Mushrooms also provide antioxidants and nutrients that may contribute to heart health and protect the body from certain cancers.

These mushrooms are excellent served with freshly made garlic toasts but are also great stuffed into a pita pocket and topped with a dash of vegan parmesan or tzatziki.

ENJOY!

Eggplant, Zucchini, Basil, and Tomato Bake

Fusion \ Dinner \ Main Dish

One of my favorite dishes is eggplant parmesan. It is, however, tedious and takes a good amount of time to prepare. Therefore, it is a dish that generally only make for special occasions.

This recipe has a lot of delicious summer flavors and comes together in a fraction of the time it takes to make eggplant parmesan. It is great served by itself, with hard-crusted bread, or pasta.

ENJOY!

NOTES:

1: It is important to remove extra moisture and eliminate any bitterness from the eggplant. To accomplish this, keep the skin on the cleaned and dried eggplant, slice it into 1/2″ slices, and place them on paper towels. Sprinkle each round with salt and cover with another layer of paper towels. Let the rounds sit for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes. Gently pat dry, keeping some of the salt on the eggplant. Then, proceed to slice each of the rounds into quarters.

2. Eggplants, zucchini, and tomatoes vary in size. If you have too many veggies to fit into a 9×13″ casserole, put the remainder into a second smaller casserole.
