Stepf's Zucchini "Pasta" with Tomatoes and Basil "Cream"
This "pasta" dish is so light and yet rich--you'll never guess the "cream" is made from sunflower seeds. The white beans add buttery flavor and protein. Make this when the garden overflows with tomatoes, basil and zucchini.Submitted by: SP_STEPF

Stepf's Spicy Vegan Quinoa-Cornbread
This cornbread was a serendipitous success. I didn't have cornmeal but I had masa de harina (corn flour). As it turns out, masa de harina yields a light and fluffy cornbread!

Stepf's Sweet and SPICY Smoked Almonds
I made these almonds as a gift for the Foodbuzz bloggers conference. The recipe is incredibly simple, and I made it special by using chiles I'd grown, dried, and ground myself, along with fresh rosemary from my garden. Make sure you use smoked paprika in this recipe, as it is what lends the signature smoked flavor. Submitted by: SP_STEPF

Stepf's Whole-Grain Fruit Crisp
Crisps are a quick and easy dessert. I like to use whatever fruit is in season: blueberries, strawberries, peaches, cherries, plums, pears, and apples.
I use two cups of fruit in this recipe so that each person gets a full serving of fruit, but when you buy berries they come in pints. One pint of berries yields about 1 1/2 cups. That means you're either a half-cup short or you need to buy two and have a cup leftover. Save the extra berries for your morning cereal, freeze them for smoothies--or just add them to the crisp. The more fruit, the merrier.
You can use frozen (no need to thaw before baking) or fresh fruit in this recipe.
Serve any leftovers atop plain yogurt for breakfast. Submitted by: SP_STEPF

Stepf's Not Sausage Gravy
My mom's sausage gravy and biscuits was one of my favorite breakfasts when I was growing up. Then I gave up meat--and my beloved breakfast. It wasn't until I discovered nutritional yeast and Field Roast links that I decided to give a vegetarian version of this recipe a try. It's a hit! Submitted by: SP_STEPF
