It’s kale season! Last week, I was looking for a way to use up some of the kale I had picked up at Tau and I came up with a super yummy dish, but I made one mistake: I didn’t write down the ingredients! When my folks came over unexpectedly and finished off the lot, I decided to dig through my memory cells and come up with a recipe. And voila, here it is! Actually, with one minor difference; the first time I made it I used cooked chickpeas. For a chickpea version, simply reduce the liquid to 1 cup, reduce cooking time, and add the chickpeas after the kale and sweet potato are cooked.
Chocolate Coconut Cups
You may find this hard to believe, but I was in charge of bringing dessert to our family dinner this year… right… So, for those who asked, here is the recipe for Chocolate Coconut Cups, which I created for a friend who was allergic to nuts and couldn’t enjoy the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups…
Cheezy Biscuits
Crackers ‘n cheddar are a great accompaniment to a hearty soup. I was pleased to discover a simple vegan recipe for Cheezy Crackers in 500 Vegan Recipes with the same flavour. This is an awesome book with fun and creative ways of using healthy ingredients to prepare wholesome foods!
Split Pea Soup
Here is another simple soup, hardly needing a recipe. I love thick soups, in fact, I love all pea soups… must be the Lac Saint-Jean in me! 🙂 Served with homemade bread or, even better, cheezy biscuits, they make a meal in themselves. Perfect for Saturday lunches.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
A while back, I treated myself to a wonderful new cookbook, But I Could Never Go Vegan. Since I’d been craving peanut butter–no idea why!–and, company was coming later in the day, I thought I’d make them a treat. This is a simple recipe and yes, very yummy! Chocolate and peanut butter… match made in heaven! And I have made it again, and again!
