April 11, 2020 by Linda Watson Leave a Comment

Carrot cake with frosting

Yooper Fantasy Stew

Yooper Fantasy Stew is like a naked pasty, but spicy and healthy.  (That’s PAA-sty, the Cornish handpies filled with stew, not PAY-sties, part of many strippers’ wardrobes.)  My family always got pasties when we went to the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) of Michigan.

I’ve been dreaming of carrot cookies lately and decided to see if I could transform a favorite molasses cookie into a carrot spice cookie. Oh yes! My Bang Bang Carrot Spice Cookies are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and just sweet enough for an afternoon snack. This recipe makes four dozen vegan carrot […]

Cold-Nix Soup in heart-shaped bowl

The vegan cold-fighting soup makes its own broth from dried chickpeas and aromatic vegetable. Sweet potatoes, carrots, and parsley add color and nutrition. Optional whole-grain pasta helps it slip down your throat. Lemon brightens it all. Take one big bowl daily for comfort and health.
