Lemon Tahini Dressing

March 28, 2021 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

lemon tahini dressing with a salad

Lemon Tahini Dressing brings the brightness of citrus and the magic of umami to salads, roasted vegetables, and baked potatoes. You may be tempted to eat it by the spoonful. This creamy dressing is a dairy-free, climate-friendly alternative to ranch or blue cheese dressing. Save money by using the lemon zest instead of an extra […]

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 […]

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

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 […]

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 veloutĂ© 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 […]

Avocado-Lemon Sauce

Avocado-lemon sauce on whole-wheat noodles with green beans and tomatoes

I wanted a bright, creamy pasta sauce without loads of fat or the heat and work of making a roux. Fortunately, I had a ripe avocado and some raw cashews on hand. With a blender and just six ingredients, including salt and water, I whipped up an updated Alfredo in less than 10 minutes. The […]
