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 […]

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 […]

These days, when an organization invites me to an event that includes a meal or snacks, I write a letter asking for vegan food and minimal food waste. I write as soon as I get the invitation, so the organizers have time to adjust their plans. See the example exchange below for how to highlight […]

Green Bean Velvet Soup

September 13, 2020 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

Green Bean Velvet Soup with Hummus and Roasted Carrots and Red Bell Pepper

Green Bean Velvet Soup has the velvety smoothness of a classic French velouté sauce and the comfort-food flavor of green-bean casserole. It’s healthier and easier than either one, though. No butter, no canned soup, no canned fried onion rings, no baking or stirring, yet a rich and creamy flavor! The roasted flavor comes from toasted […]
