Chickpea , Lentil and Apple Indian Spiced Soup

I change this recipe a little bit from the original recipe. I added two Granny Smith apples into the soup instead of one, three more heads of garlic, 1 tablespoon of chicken consommé, full fat instead of light coconut milk, and three cans instead of two of the chickpeas. This recipe was absolutely delicious!

Vegetable and Turkey Tomato Soup

This recipe is a great weeknight meal! It’s quick and kid approved! Just remember to take out the turkey in the morning.
I like to substitute turkey instead of beef but either is a yummy choice.


Orzo Arugula Lemon Salad

This salad has so many ingredients I love! The flavor is fresh and delicious. Sometimes I make it and keep it in the fridge, munching on it theoughout the week for lunch while other times it can make a great dinner! 

Ingredients 

1 box Orzo

1 lemon (juice and zest)

1 block feta cheese

2 cups chopped arugula

1/2 or more to taste toasted pine nuts

tsp salt

2 TBSP olive oil

Cook orzo, set aside and cool by running cold water over it. Once trained place in a large bowl. Add in the juice of one large lemon and the zest of one large lemon, the olive oil and the salt and toss with a fork. Next, add in chopped arugula , crumbled feta and toasted pinenuts that have cooled completely and toss together. Place in the refrigerator so all of the flavors come together.

Vegan Mac and Cheese

OK I know you’re skeptical and so was I but listen if you’re looking to get a carb fix and want something that’s tasty this is a good alternative. I made it last night for myself well I made the full fat cheesy version for my family. It definitely was not the same but it was so much healthier and satisfy the craving I was having. Try it once and let me know what you think. PS try dipping tortilla chips into cheesy dip, like a queso. 


Ingredients for the sauce:

Two medium yellow potatoes quartered

One large carrot peeled and diced into 1 inch chunks

One small yellow onion diced

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons onion powder

1 teaspoon mustard powder

1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste

3 cups vegetable broth

1/2 cup raw cashew pieces

3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Place all vegetables in a sauce pan and cover with vegetable broth. Bring to a boil. One spoiled cover and reduce to simmer for 10 minutes.

With a slotted spoon remove the vegetables and place in a blender, add one and a half cups of the reserved liquid,Add the cashews and all seasoning and blend.

Poor cheesy sauce over already cooked macaroni noodles.

I like to toast some Panko breadcrumbs with some ghee and top the macaroni and cheese with the breadcrumbs. Yummy yummy yummy

Easy PEasy right?
