Who doesn’t love warm, homemade french toast? It is one of my favorite comforting breakfast dishes. This recipe is a bit of a sweet treat, so use caution adding too much agave nectar. You may even want to save this one for a special occasion. This recipe is so delicious that most people would not be able to guess that it is vegan.
This is, by far, the best steel cut oats recipe I have ever eaten. It takes more time and energy than overnight oats, but the result of boiling the oats in almond milk is well worth it. Caramelized bananas are one potential topping, but you could also choose fresh fruit, dried fruit, or even tropical fruit, like passion fruit, and coconut milk. You can also serve the caramelized bananas atop toast and peanut butter.
How about making one of these energizing juices while your steel cut oats cook and bananas cool?
This is a dish that takes me way back. In the South we eat collard greens and black-eyed peas for good luck and money on New Year’s Day. I added in Beyond Meat Hot Italian Sausage to replace the heavy, fat-back bacon, and lard that I grew up with as a kid. This Grits, Greens, and Black-Eyed Pease is a one-of-a-kind southern treat!
While I prefer to use dried black-eyed peas because the flavor of the end product is so much better, I understand that not everyone has the luxury of time to soak beans overnight and cook for the better part of an hour. Feel free to open a can of black-eyed peas and get dinner on the table in less than thirty minutes.
This trio makes a filling meal without any special additions. However, you may want to indulge in a bit of dessert after your meal. Check out this popular Salted Caramel Cheesecake!
Curry is a great way to quickly and easily infuse flavor into dishes. This is a Thai green curry, but you can also use a red or yellow curry paste for a different variation on this dish. Feel free to experiment with any vegetables you want: asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, chili peppers. It all works!
Kaeng khiao wan is a popular Thai dish. This translates to “sweet green curry”. It is a delicious combination of green chillies, coriander root, and coconut milk.
I had the pleasure of living in Thailand for a month and I learned a couple valuable keys to Thai cooking. They always use the highest quality coconut sugar, and it really affects the taste of the food. I also learned the value of a mortar and pestle to grind chilis and other ingredients to make curry paste. I love the process of taking time to prepare every aspect of a dish. But alas, we don’t always have the time to invest in a meal. So in this recipe we have a quick and simple version using jarred curry paste instead.
