Pin It Tis the season to be grilling! I’m faking you out. These “burgers” aren’t grilled at all. In fact, they’re a meatless meal (but do they *almost* look like real, grilled burgers?). I’ve tried a handful of meatless veggie burger recipes over the years, and most of them end up being rejected or at [...]

Recipe Connection: Grassfed Beef Burgundy
June 1st, 2010 · 17 Comments · Recipes
Pin ItIs “grassfed” a sort of status symbol when stamped on a recipe? You betcha. You can make just about any recipe, especially one that cooks the meat for a long time and in liquid, with either grassfed or conventionally raised beef.

Pin It A hint of autumn sweetness, the heartiness of beans with the sophistication of garbanzos, a little salsa heat…and then cornbread! The flavors in Southwestern Pot Pie seem surprisingly off the wall, but once they’re all working together, it’s a distinctive dish that will keep you coming back for more.

The lentil burger was pretty bland; you might be able to enjoy it with enough condiments, and the chickpea burger was just too mushy to be on [...]

Pin ItFor the past few years, I’ve made this simple, yet nourishing dish for Ash Wednesday, then frozen the rest for Good Friday’s meal. With cheese melted on top, it’s delicious and delightfully frugal; without cheese, it’s positively penitential and even more frugal. More on why Catholics choose to sacrifice as part of our Lenten [...]

Pin ItIt’s been tough on me to eat fewer grains this week. Turns out my own consciousness needs raising! I eat starches often. I figure posting a recipe that is grain-free as well as meatless is a good fit for this, the week before Lent begins. See a Meatless Meals Carnival for Lent at Mama [...]
