Harvested Cranberry Bean Stew and Delicata Squash
This was my first time having cranberry beans, and I’m almost embarrassed to say, farm-fresh beans!! Where have I been hiding?! These beans were absolutely delicious; packed with folate, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, and protein, just to name a few. This was a delicious quick and easy stew for dinner with family. If you don’t have…

Shepherd’s Pie with Gratifying Gravy
I ventured for my first time to Balsam Mountain in the Catskills (http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/1325324). Boy, did the weather forecast get this one wrong! That morning you could certainly tell Autumn had left us; as we got closer to the mountain we could see everything above 3,500 ft elevation was covered with a fresh sprinkle of snow. …

Take Out Chinese Part 2: Delectable Tofu in Spicy Garlic Sauce and Perfect Fried Rice
A few weeks ago I posted my Take Out Chinese at Home recipe and I was craving it again the other night! I wasn’t sure what to title this recipe; Joey sugeested “Best Chinese Food EVER” since he said this was his favorite Asian meal I’ve made to date; it DOES have a ring to…

Farm Fresh Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Oven Fries
The fall harvest keeps on giving! Last night I paired local farm fresh spaghetti squash with organic roasted oven fries. Okay, they’re not really fried, they’re baked thinly sliced potatoes and they’re positively delicious! I’ve found the best cooking comes from hard work the heart; my dad inspired these potatoes. From the ages of 15…

Maple Sage Harvest Bounty Roast with Quinoa Flake-Crusted Tofu
If there’s one thing I take advantage of, it’s the farmer’s markets here in the Hudson Valley. After a trip to the farm stand with my dad, I had come home with what seemed like the fall harvest (and couldn’t have been more happy)! I’m sure we all have those evenings standing in the kitchen…

BBQ Pulled Tofu Casserole with Bleu Cheese Cornbread Topper (Vegan, Gluten Free)
If there’s one thing I love doing, its converting any recipe to healthy, vegan, and gluten-free eats I can enjoy. This recipe is inspired by Rachel Ray, featured on her show Week in a Day (fantabulous concept, just not anything I can ever eat!). I’ve testing the recipe, deciding how much cornbread I like as…

Take Out Chinese at Home (V, GF,)
I could eat Chinese food every week, and most weeks I would when I was able to eat out at restaurants. Now, thanks to my intolerances, I’m unable to go out to grab a bite. I will not let that stop me from eating my favorite foods! This meal is so simple to make and…

Sushi Seduction (V, GF)
I can’t speak for everyone, but I go through times where I absolutely crave sushi. Unfortunately, due to my intolerances, I am unable to go out to restaurants & grab a quick bite. I won’t let that little thing stop me from eating my favorite foods! I never knew how easy sushi was to make! …

Chipotle Organic Black Bean, Yam, and Quinoa Burger (Vegan, Gluten free, Soy free, Nut free, Corn free)
I love veggie burgers! Trying to find a vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free, corn-free, and not taste-free on the market is nearly impossible. And you know what? Veggie burgers are SO easy to make, it’s a crime to ever buy those frozen patties! You can make a double batch of your veggie burgers, wrap in plastic…
