Trader Joe's Recipe

This easy, filling vegan soup is a staple for cool days. This basically involves opening cans and heating the ingredients in a soup pot, perfect for days when you need a tasty meal that will be ready fast.

Easy and quick to make; Nutritious and Low Calorie; Cool and Refreshing!

I found a basic carrot soup recipe on foodnetwork.com and then tweaked it a bit. The original recipe called for half n half and bacon. I scratched both these ingredients, subbing a couple of extras to make a healthier, vegan friendly soup. Enjoy :)

Zinc Cafe in Corona del Mar serves a similar salad: Delicioso!

"The Girls" love me when I bring this to get-togethers :-)

I created these for my son, who was sick of eating eggs every morning. They were so fluffy and delish! I was so pleasantly surprised.

Works great with tofu, too. High fiber & calcium.

One day I decided to substitute a can of black beans for garbanzo beans while making hummus. t might actually be better than garbanzo bean hummus. I added the basil because I had some growing in my garden.

This refreshing salad is great alone or on top of greens...add a little goat cheese for a real treat! Preparation takes less than 10 minutes!

This is a very savory dish and tastes decedent but is low in calories and satisfying. Tastes great over a campfire.

Serve on whole-wheat buns with plenty of veggies, and you'll have a BBQ meal that even a meat lover will crave again and again.

I'm really proud of myself for this one. I used to love getting Mexican Pizzas at Taco Bell. I haven't had one in years. So, I spent a few days concocting this recipe.

Tempeh is a fermented soybean cake, originating from Indonesia. You can find it at your health food store, if you can't find it at your regular grocery store. We aren't vegetarians, but sometimes it's nice to have a vegetarian meal. Helps save on the calories. Tempeh is a great meat substitute. If you chop it up right, it can have a similar consistency to ground meat.

Also, I'm pretty sure the tortillas Taco Bell uses for this are deep fried to make them crispy. I baked mine.

Just as impressive alone as when served between bread as a sandwich filling.

A high-protein, filling salad. Delicious and nutritious!

This recipe does not need to be very precise....substitute your favorite veggies and dressing.

I used to get wonderful tempeh scallopini in Denver. This isn't quite it, but it's the best substitute so far. The restaurant served it on mashed potatoes with a side of cooked greens.

Great for cold nights! This "stew" will warm you up from the inside out!

Yummy Egg and Potatoe meal full of protein and low fat

All you need are five ingredients and ten minutes to make this fluffy chocolate mousse. Chill it in the fridge overnight for an even thicker texture.

From Andrea

I love this dressing becase it is simple and always fresh. The avocado gives me healthy monounsaturated fat, and the variety of spices and vinegar choices give me a thousand different combinations. Every salad is a new adventure.

This will satisfy your mashed potato craving.

Your whole family will be astounded by how delicious this tastes!
