I love corn bread. Since so many individuals are now following a gluten-free diet, I wanted to create a recipe without wheat flour (or gluten). This worked out well. It’s moist and not too dense and tastes good, too. And it’s vegan! Ingredients 1 cup cornmeal 1 cup gluten-free oat flour (you can finely grind gluten-free…

Nutty Delights
Sweet treats can be made with healthy ingredients and without added processed sugars. Dried fruit is a great natural sweetener and works well in many dessert recipes. Organic walnuts and almonds are on sale at Mother Earth’s this month! Ingredients ½ cup dates (the moister, the better)—rough chopped ¼ cup dried plums (prunes)—rough chopped ¼ cup…
Edamame Spaghetti with Sundried Tomatoes & Olives
This is a variation of my Spaghetti with Artichoke Hearts recipe. In my other recipe I used a pasta product from “Explore Asian”. “Explore Asian” is now “Explore Cuisine” and their packaging has changed. It is still the same impressive pasta product, with each 2-ounce serving providing 20–25 grams of protein and 10–15 grams of fiber! The…

Split Pea Soup
Split pea soup is often prepared with ham or other types of meat; this adds flavor to the dish. I’ve added a few seasonings to give the soup a depth of flavor (without the meat). Customers really enjoyed this recipe, as simple as it is. Kids too! Ingredients 1 cup split peas, rinsed and drained Water…
Vegan “Chicken” Salad
The deli at Mother Earth’s Storehouse prepares a couple of different “unchicken” salad recipes. I have to admit that I “stole” their idea and decided to create a recipe of my own since I liked it so much! TVP (textured vegetable protein) is an inexpensive plant-based protein. The taste is pretty neutral and takes on the flavors of whatever…
Potato Quinoa Patties
Potato pancakes are an all-time favorite! By adding quinoa, you increase the nutritional value of this dish. I created this recipe after I overcooked a pot of quinoa, which ended up very mushy. I was thinking about how it could be used and making it into patties seemed like the logical thing to do, but…
Lentil Stew
Lentil Stew is a great one-pot meal. Legumes, grains and veggies are all cooked together in one pot, yielding in a very satisfying stew. You can add your favorite vegetables or use the ideas suggested below; season according to taste. Some curry powders are stronger than others and some bouillon cubes are saltier than others….
French Lentil Salad
I love lentils! I have been making lentil soups for years, but I wanted to make a lentil dish also suitable to the warm weather seasons. French lentils hold their shape and texture, which makes them a great ingredient for a salad. This is my first lentil salad creation, which evolved into several variations–and it’s…
Kale Chips
I love kale! This highly nutritious leafy green can be prepared in so many ways and added to many different dishes. After the first time I tried kale chips, I decided to make my own. I was surprised to see how easy it is. You can cook the kale on a high temperature for a…

This is a variation of my zucchini pancake recipe. You can use various vegetables in this dish; some contain more water than others, so you need to adjust accordingly.
