One more.......super easy, healthy and delicious.

blurry but good!
Ok so this is an interesting one.....
I had a can of mixed bean salad added a can of chick peas and of course some fresh spinach sauteed with carrots and yellow peppers to make a wilted warm salad that I served with a vegan chicken pattie that I splashed balsamic vinegar on and threw some in the pan also. This was so good you wouldn't believe it!! It is also incredibly protein rich with all of the beans and very low fat.  The can of bean salad had no corn syrup or anything artificial just vinegar, sugar and spices so it was a healthier option.  The whole thing was tangy and very filling.  I made this three days in a row for lunch and before working out at the gym.  I felt so healthy and ready to be fit. :) If you try any of my recipes I would love to know how they turn out for you.

An assortment of things

tofurky sausages in a "cream" sauce really tasted great

to  make anything vegan make sure you use unsweetened soy milk otherwise it will not taste right

spinach potato patties!!

yummy pasta primavera!!


I have been so swamped with work I have not posted but I at least want to get some pics on here and then I can post more recipes later. I have been practically addicted to fresh spinach ever since I found organic spinach in giant containers for less than 4 dollars.  I have added it to pasta, sauces, just saute with fresh garlic. I added it to both the pasta and the sauteed veggies for this primavera and it was great.  I like to brown my veggies b/c I love the crispy flavor mushrooms impart when browned. The other pic is of spinach and potato patties.  For this I used a bag of organic spinach ( frozen) and organic potato , parmesan and half and half.  To veganize unsweetened soy milk would be great and to give it the rich flavor add some earth balance to the pan when cooking.  I did not use any egg in this and it held together well without it.  Seasoning was garlic, onion, salt, and pepper.  These hold up so well and are a great meal or snack. I also made a couple of "cream" sauces with the above soy milk and honestly you cannot tell the difference. I add earth balance to make it richer like cream but for a lighter meal you can omit that step.  The sausages and cream were simply cut up tofurky italian sausage sauteed with onion, fresh garlic and soymilk and added some pepper and drop of salt. The sausages are pretty intense on their own with basil and sundried tomato so the sauce can really be simple. This can be served with mashed potato or whole wheat pasta.  We have eaten this both ways.
