Charred Zucchini, Corn and Bean Salad
I’m still catching up from taking the summer off from blogging, but I’m getting closer. This salad is in the “Cool Beans” cookbook by Joe Yonan. I borrowed the book from the library.

It seems like the author tries too hard to be funny by frequently using the F- word… Continue reading Roasted Chickpeas and Broccoli Burritos
Asian Spiced Edamame and Tofu Soup
This recipe is from Better Homes & Gardens Plant-based Recipes magazine 2020. Santa put it in my socking for Christmas this year – isn’t he fun!

I made another batch of soup on the stove top,… Continue reading Asian Spiced Edamame and Tofu Soup
Spaghetti Squash with Black Beans and Cheddar
This recipe was in the Minneapolis Star Tribune paper from Robin Asbell.

They are so silky in texture, tasty and quick to cook. I… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash with Black Beans and Cheddar
