Bok Choy Tofu Yaki Soba

(Where will Doris sleep?)
Vegetable Yaki Soba is one of my go-to meals when I can't think of anything to make. It's easy.  It's inexpensive.  Warm, nourishing garlic ginger broth with simmered vegetables ladled over noodles.  Young and old love this one-dish meal.  Maybe Doris would like it too.

Marinate wild halibut in lime ginger and garlic; reduce the remaining marinade to a nice glaze after cooking the fish and everyone at the table will love you.

Chicken Tikka Masala

(Ward's extended stay)
You have to try this sassy saucy Indian dish.  The tikka sauce is a pure heaven combo of tomato sauce, heavy cream and spices.  Our recipe also offers a vegetarian version made with chickpeas.  Everybody's happy! 

Chickpea, Carrot and Broccoli Indian Curry

(Jane phones home)
An easy family meal made easier if you have a jar of curry paste handy. This version merges familiar carrots, potatoes, broccoli and chickpeas into a tomato-based curry sauce. Just right served over Golden Spice Rice or Quinoa or while retrieving your child from jail.

Farro Mushroom Risotto with sage and thyme

(Two weeks till the wrecking ball )
Farro (aka emmer) is a chewy, satisfying whole grain grown locally in Washington State.  Soak it and cook it slowly to maximize flavor and tenderize the texture.  The fresh herbs and mushrooms add amazing aroma.

(Ward barks up the wrong tree)
My family begs for these tacos which utilize lime & garlic marinated halibut and fresh vegetables with a mayo or yogurt cilantro-lime sauce drizzled in among the fish and vegetables.

Fried Tempeh

Tempeh is a magnificent fermented whole food. Excellent protein source for vegetarians and vegans. Here's how to make it sing - a quick fry in coconut oil.

Fried Tofu

(Who's gonna pick up Joaquin?)
With the right heat and the right oil your tofu will come out crisp on the outside, tasty throughout. Marinating first is key.

Gay's Mini Pot Roast with Many Vegetables

(Steve has a beef with the roast)
Lots of carrots, parsnips, potatoes and Brussel sprouts take a long trip with red wine and a modest piece of grass-fed beef. Tasty destination worth the drive.

Golden Spice Rice

Black beans cooked with a chipotle pepper, corn, fire-roasted tomatoes, cilantro make a hearty stew with Southwest flavors.

Mirin Baked Chicken with Shitake Mushrooms

(Facelift, the social network for Ward)
This succulent entrée is crazy simple.  The mirin (sweet rice wine) and tamari meld with the chicken to make a dark sweet sauce.  The oven does all the magic. 

Miso Happy Broth

(Cynthia answers the call)
Taking the time to allow land and sea vegetables to infuse a soup stock with their nutrients creates a powerful soup.  The probiotics in the miso make it easy to digest too.  Try it while you wait for the phone company to fix voice mail.  You'll have LOTS of time.

Nori Wrapped Wasabi Salmon

(Harmony is lacking at band practice)
When you smear nori with wasabi, mustard and herbs and wrap it around salmon before cooking, the mineral-rich sea vegetable shrink-wraps the fish as it cooks and keeps it moist. The wasabi and herbs add kick.

Nutburgers

(Ward goes nuts)
Cooked brown rice provides the sticky base for these vegetarian burgers made with nuts and spices. No soy analogs here!

Orange Glazed Salmon Kebobs with Yogurt Garlic Dip

A beautiful looking soup that boasts all local winter vegetables and herbs. Beets, carrots, red lentils and rosemary marry for love.

Saffron Buttered Millet with Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

(Where's Doris?)
Millet is a tricky grain to make fluffy and separate. Cynthia not only has the right tips but a dress-up for this plain jane grain that includes saffron, leeks, currants, nuts and roasted red peppers. Tastes good.

Saffron Rice

Lemon Kissed Saffron Brown Rice

Cynthia adds zesty citrus and exotic saffron threads to knock the plain Jane out of simple brown rice.

Hip hip hooray, brightly colored vegetables!  Roasting sweet potatoes makes them super sweet.  Combining apples and kale is divine.  Put them together and what can we say?  Fabulous vegetable dish coming your way.

Split Pea Soup with Potatoes and Dill

(The new neighbor)
Not real pretty to look at but neither is the new neighbor.  We give you the how to on both a vegetarian version and one that includes ham. The cumin + dill marry well with peas.  Try it.  You'll see. 

Squash and Raisin Stuffed Chicken Breasts

(Steve sells home plate)
Stuffed chicken breasts sounds difficult and gourmet - not true. A fantastic way to renovate leftovers like roasted squash and extend a pound of chicken to feed a family. Very pretty morsels too!

Szechwan Tempeh

(Steve and Cynthia throw caution to the breakwind)
This is a favorite dish of mine that I use frequently to introduce my students to tempeh.  We usually serve it with a grain such as Quinoa, Mediterranean Quinoa, Sweet Rice Timbales, Saffron Buttered Millet or Soba Noodles.  MANGO LIME SALSA is the perfect sweet condiment for this savory vegetarian dish.

Tempeh Tacos with Chipotle Cream

(Ward can run but he can't hide)
They're gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian, and they happen to be downright yummy.  Bonus recipe because we've included Avocado Salsa too!  Perfect for Meatless Monday, Taco Tuesday or What the Heck Am I Gonna Make Tonight Wednesday, 

Thai Coconut Chicken Soup

(Steve rebounds for soup)
This traditional Thai soup uses coconut milk, lemon grass and fish sauce to form a flavorful base.  The ginger garlic influence make it a perfect kill-the-cold  soup.  A popular family favorite.  We also give instructions for how to make this a vegetarian/vegan dish in the recipe. Enjoy!

Thai Yellow Curry Tempeh

(Ward lets it simmer)
Okay - you'll need to stretch yourself and shop for lemongrass, Thai red chilies, Kaffir lime leaves and fish sauce but the enhanced coconut milk will make you soon no matter what vegetables, tofu, chicken, shrimp or tempeh you invite in.

Three Sisters Stew

(Jane dresses for work)
At the peak of early fall fresh corn, dried beans and winter squash emerge together after the growing season. Collect the harvest of these three sisters and prepare this cinnamon and chili kissed warm stew.

White Bean and Kale Minestrone

(Can't run with scissors!)
Cooked white beans, fresh sage and a touch of tomato paste create the creamy base for this nourishing soup.  Ribbons of kale add color, texture and major nutrients.  Serve with Pumpkin Pecan Muffins or a bit slice of warm bread and butter.  Who can resist?
