Triple Greens

I Cheated a bit. Went to Wal-Mart. Bought a bag of collard, turnip, and mustard green mix. Pre chopped and ready to rock and roll. I washed anyhow.

Started with veggie broth and soy sauce. Got that boiling, then added my greens. Let them wilt a bit then added maple syrup.

We have a garlic herbed vinaigrette and I used a little of that, also some roasted garlic piwder, and nutritional yeast. Pecan liquid smoke, and fresh ground pepper rounded out the flavor. Turned out awesome!!

My wife said "I love when you cook greens. It always smells amazing!" Side note... She's not vegan...or vegetarian.

Butternut Squash with Pesto and a Side of Mushrooms

This is a show stopper. It was REALLY good and easy to make. Butternut mixed with kale pesto with a side of sauteed mushrooms!

The Butternut Squash was made with a sprializer and simply peeled and spiralized and sauteed in vegan butter then mixed with Kale Pesto.

The kale pesto was made with kale, toasted walnuts, nutritional yeast, a little miso and some olive oil.

The Mushrooms are sauteed with vegan butter and garlic.

Made for a VERY yummy meal!

Roasted Carrots, Chickpeas!

Carrots chickpeas and parsley.

Coat carrots and chickpeas with 1 - 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil and mix well.

While that is in the oven roasting, mix the juice of 1 lemon with 2 - 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Using a whisk, mix well.

Can you say YUM!?!?

Tofu and Taters

This meal was suggested by my wife.

It is Vegan Butter, garlic and sliced potatoes sauteed until tender.

A little dry white wine, and fire roasted tomatoes. Salt, pepper and paprika.

Baked Tofu Lemon and Parsley.

The recipe I was following called for cod fish, but since I'm Vegan, I used Tofu! It turned out really good!

My wife and I scarfed this down in no time flat!
