Pepper Bash

February 14, 2021 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

Bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms in a heart-shaped bowl with corn chips

Cook peppers, onions, mushrooms, and salsa together to give yourself a flavorful jump-start on meals all week. This super-nutritious mix works well in tacos or burritos, sandwiches, with pasta, and even as a side dish or dip. The mushrooms cook down to create a savory base rich in umami. It’s hard to believe that this […]

SARS-CoV-2 enzyme blocked by chocolate, tea, and more

Chemical compounds found in green tea, dark chocolate, and muscadine grapes can bind to and block an enzyme in the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This stops the virus cells from replicating, according to a press release from NCSU. Wow! I read the study, and it still sounded like incredibly good news. So I wrote to Dr. Xie to check […]

adzuki beans in orange sauce with a fresh orange wedge

Brighten up a winter day with smallish, slightly sweet adzuki beans in zingy orange sauce. This thrifty recipe uses the zest and juice of organic oranges. Adzuki beans cook faster than kidney beans. Adzuki beans originally came from China, Japan, or India more than a thousand years ago, where they are often used in cakes […]

Marcella Beans with Rainbow Chard and Lemon

December 20, 2020 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

Marcella beans with chard, toast, and carrots

These tender heirloom beans cook up into a soupy, saucy wonder with very little effort. My Taster, who is not a fan of white beans, said that this recipe could make him a convert. Cook dried beans, aromatics, and herbs in a slow cooker or big pot for healthy comfort food. Serve a bowlful with […]

Chocolate Pudding with Oat Milk

October 6, 2020 by Linda Watson 2 Comments

This creamy chocolate pudding uses oat milk for dairy-free creaminess. I used to whisk up pudding nearly every week, but after going vegan none of the plant-milk options measured up. Then I tried oat milk, and it’s like old times! Actually, even better, because the pudding is healthier, kinder, and better for the planet. I […]

Letter template: ask restaurants for vegan food

October 1, 2020 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

meal at a Persian restaurant

I love to cook, but I also love to eat out. It can be a challenge finding a place that serves vegan food and makes it easy for you to decode the menu. When I’m interested in going to a restaurant that doesn’t make it clear what menu items are vegan, I send them a […]
