The pozole is a tasty traditional Mexican dish that is usually prepared with pork, and that is very easy to prepare. This vegetarian version is much lighter since it is much lower in fat, especially saturated fats. The vegetables that are added at the time of serving make this recipe provide a good amount of fiber and nutrients for the body.
You’d think that egg salad, which is made with eggs and mayonnaise (which is also made with eggs) might be a little hard to make if you don’t eat, well, eggs. Turns out you’d be wrong! These tofu egg-less salads are surprisingly convincing and, dare I say, even better than the classic. What’s more, you don’t have to eat it all in one sitting for fear of it going bad. Rather, leave it covered in the refrigerator overnight to let the spices seep into the tofu and make it taste even better the next day.
This creamy, thick, grain-studded stew is so delicious that it deserves the author’s name in the title. Kimberly Ewald, who graciously shared this recipe with me, lives in Minnesota where the wild rice is the state grain and pantry staple. Needless to say, Kim is a wild rice aficionado and this stew is an excellent representation of the black grain.
Think: biscuits & gravy. Then, think: gravy on toast? That’s much healthier. I think I’ll go with that instead! Trust me, you won’t miss the biscuit with a good slice of artisan bread and this thick, savory nut gravy. It’s the kind of breakfast that will warm you up on the chilliest of winter mornings.
