~Betty cooks some Harmony.

Once again I have cooked  more recipes from The Happy Herbivore cookbook. As you can tell I have found this cookbook to be very easy to use and exceptionally useful. I keep making more recipes and loving them all. I made the 5-Spice Harmony Bowl

5-Spice Harmony Bowl

Do you ever get the feeling after an evening out with friends when you have eaten way too much food and you really need something to just balance you out? Well its not called the Harmony bowl for nothing. This was a very simple and healthy dish that made my girls come running into the kitchen to see what smelled so good. The sweet potato in the 5-spice atop turnip greens and rice was light and filling and simply delicious. What a beautiful lunch. I Had enough left to save for the next day.

 As you all know from our blog posts Franc and I like veggie burgers ALOT! We eat them all the time because they're quick and easy after working all day. We top them with everything we can think of, most recently we discovered daiya cheese which melts fantastic on our veggie burger with some onion, mushrooms, veganaise and as a side dish we made Baked Onion Rings!

These were quick to make and are virtually fat free since they are baked and not fried. I think their my new favorite companion for my veggie burgers.... 
                                                                        
                                                                       Peace and Harmony,

~Day 29 Mac and cheese

Well I cannot seem to put my Happy Herbivore cookbook down. I just keeping making more and more delicious low fat things in there. Today I made baked mac n cheese:

This recipe was really quick to make and the tofu makes it very thick and rich. This is my first experience making "cheese" sauce using nutritional yeast and it turned out exceptionally well. I was pleasantly surprised how cheesy it was I cannot wait to make some Queso for Superbowl Sunday!

 We just recently purchased some nutritional yeast so that I could make some of these cheesy recipes, it is so delicious. Franc really loved it on his popcorn , a double bonus is that its very nutritious. Hes even started adding it to some of his home made bread recipes!

~Day 25 Betty and Franc Mexican Cabbage



 We made two more recipes from the Happy Herbivore cookbook! The first was the one pot Mexican Cabbage it was cabbage onions, garlic, corn, black beans, in a tomato sauce and it was delicious! I'm not really a cabbage person but in this dish its perfect. Franc came up with the idea of putting it in a corn tortilla and it made the perfect burrito!

This is one of those recipe that's a go to. I will definitely be making it again and another bonus is it takes about 15 minutes from start to finish. The second recipe we made was the cheater Pad Thai

This recipe was super quick and easy and Franc LOVED it but it was a little spicy for me next time I'm going to reduce the hot sauce and let Franc add as much as he wants to his.  I am anxious to make this again and add a bunch of veggies. Again another great go to recipe!
