This was hubby Tom’s burger on a sprouted Alvarado St Bakery bun. All of our favorite burger toppings work with this one, lettuce, pickles, mustard, ketchup, onion and tomato. Holy yum! This is a winner. I found this amazing recipe over at Healthy Girl’s Kitchen. She wrote about how this is a copy cat attempt at a famous burger…
Main Dish
Chickpea Curry
This Indian inspired dish isn’t too spicy – it’s just the right balance of spices.We served it over a hot baked sweet potato but it would be equally delicious over a bed of your favorite grain like brown rice, quinoa or couscous. If you prefer to skip the extra carbs you could choose to serve…
Mexican Quinoa Brown Rice & Beans

Better Veggie Burgers
I’ve been experimenting with new recipes and as a result we have been enjoying some amazing meals! These veggie burgers should easily fit into a number of food plans, they are full of flavor and so filling. This recipe makes 16 burgers so you can freeze some ahead. They heat up easily in the microwave…
Butternut Squash & Bean Chili
We are at the tail end of the Winter Squash season but if you can find a butternut squash you need to make this soup. I was in Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods the other day and both still have butternut squash in stock. My daughter Katy made this recipe first and she said I needed…

Chili Lentils for Tacos
What you really want to know is how does it taste? Incredible! Oh my gosh – these chili lentils are amazing. They have a “meaty” texture to them and the seasonings were perfect. I made them to take to a friend’s house for a taco bar and everyone loved them. Even the meat lovers! The…

Chana Masala
I actually doubled this recipe for Chana Masala when I made it so we would have some leftovers and I am so glad I did. Garbanzo beans are cooked with fresh onions, tomatoes, garlic and seasoned with a delicious array of aromatic Indian spices. This is my new favorite comfort food! Chana Masala 1 cup fresh…
