A friend of mine turned me onto these little numbers through SkinnyTaste.com! What to do with a couple over ripe bananas..throw in some oatmeal, fold in walnuts (or in my case glazed pecans because that’s what I had..) and Voila! Breakfast, lunch or snack on the go 😉

I WISH the picture did these justice! I made these with the Banana Foster Parfait for my boyfriend (of whom we should call by his name, Kris) and his friend, Daniel..let me remind you, both are cooks. Good cooks. Kris said the next day, ‘These, we need to make again.’ They are fantastic…like Yumbo!
Cajun sautéed Vegetable Stuffed Baked Potatoes
The cajun flavors simmered and sautéed into these vegetables, then tossed with vegan sour cream and the scooped out potato, re-stuff ’em into their potato skins, throw ’em under the broiler for a bit and topped off with creme fraiche! Really?! YUM

Oh My YUM!!! Mardi Gras happened but around here it was Folly Gras!
Bananas Foster Parfaits
Folly Beach, SC is never short on reasons to close the main strip and open the pubs and the people to a street party. It was Folly Gras! In the spirit of things, we made some vegan treats, this was one of them. YUM! I thought it was particularly entertaining when the rum is lit on fire
Rum on Fire
We enjoyed these with Kris’ friend Daniel who was in town, and, like Kris, he is a cook too…yikes!…both cooks dug them! Kris went for seconds. It was a new experience for us all to have Bananas Foster in a parfait form….SO YUMMY…

Yum…..great staple dish to have around to grab or fast recipe for easy nights. My boyfriend actually said ‘I could eat vegan if it involved dishes like this’…Lol, he’s such a good sport 😉

I don’t like salad much. …..Can you believe that someone that eats primarily Plant Based doesn’t really like salad?? It has to be a darn good, unique, flavorful salad. I don’t believe in drowning salads in dressings to make them palatable. A salad itself has to be interesting, creative and amazing enough on its own for me to go there.
I LIKE this salad.
Fiery Thai “Beef” Salad
The mixture of warmth from sauteed onions and tomatoes, broiled bella mushrooms and cool from mint, spring mix, water chestnuts and cucumbers, to a bit of fire via sriracha tossed with fresh lime juice, cilantro, brown sugar. It is so NOT short on flavors and lure. It’s the sort of salad I find myself going back for more, craving more….which is so off for me to ever crave salad..

SO Good!
Best Vegetable Pad Thai
This Pad Thai is hands down amazing. I LOVE Pad Thai and am particular about it. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. The proportions in the recipe will make 4 modest sized servings or 2 healthy size servings 😉 So, modify as necessary, double it if you need (want) 4 healthy size servings or if you want leftovers….which I LOVE having leftovers of this!
“Fish Fillets” Poached in White Wine with a Julienne of Vegetables….ahhhhh Julia Child…!
“Fish Fillets” Poached in White Wine with a Julienne of Vegetables
You may notice I replaced the fish fillets with lengthwise slices of baked potato for this Vegan version of Filets de Poisson a la Bretonne! Poaching these vegetables and fillets in a baking dish of White Wine, vegan butter and seasoning, then bringing it up under the broiler for a touch of browning, crisping…Mmmmmm! Enjoy 😉

Lo Mein
ohhhhh searching, looking, wanting some darn good Lo Mein …stop, ohhhh, found it! No kidding…though my sons may be appalled….This is their favorite Lo Mein recipe I’ve made for them since they were little, though it used to have chunks of flank steak in it…..pre-vegan days… I’ve been craving this recipe and not sure how well it would come out, will it be a lame twist on something we used to love?…
It came out SO good…! I mean fabulous. The Recipe is Here
