For those of you readers that follow me on Facebook, you know that my family and I have been sick for the last week. Tonight, I was finally feeling up to making something for us for dinner and all that I could think about was that I wanted some Pho.

Vegan Coconut Ginger Pho Soup for the Soul
Sweet Potato, Lentil, and Kale Soup for the Manliest of Bearded Lumberjacks…and everyone else too

Vegetables & Dumplings Hippy Homemaker Style
If there is one thing I just LOVED to eat, that my mother would make when I was a kid, it was Chicken n’ Dumplings.

My dad was a big proponent of the “light and fluffy” dumpling, so if they turned out that way, there were rarely any dumplings left for the rest of us.

Black Bean Chili with Quinoa
Andy LOVES chili. When I make chili, he takes the entire batch to work and eats it over a weeks period of time, all by himself. I find that hilarious, as I was never big on chili before we became vegetarians. I never really liked the flavor of ground beef. It always grossed me out. (Ha!!!My senses knew from way back then to stay away from the “pink slime”!) Needless to say, Andy wanted me to find a vegetarian chili that he could fall in love with. This recipe here, is the one that he is in love with. He always asks me to make him chili, even in these HOT summer days. Read more »
