Pumpkin Roundup #4 2018: Dinner
I love when a fruit or vegetable is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. We continue the pumpkin roundup with some great dinner recipes. And there is something for everyone! There is a classic dish of risotto. Burgers lovers and vegans will be satisfied. And lovers of Indian cuisine will have something to be excited about as well. Creamy Vegan Pumpkin Risotto Risotto is a classic Italian dish, and one that is very technical in its preparation. This vegan recipe by Chocolate Covered Katie, adds pumpkin to give it more depth and creaminess. You can even substitute brown rice if preferred. Pumpkin Tomato Basil…

How About a Veggie Burger for July 4th?
Soon we will celebrate our country’s independence on July 4th. This day usually consists of families getting together and cooking and grilling. Just enjoying each other and enjoying good food. And a hamburger is a common food enjoyed for July 4th. But have you thought of trying something different other than your usual beef hamburger? How about a veggie burger? I know, I know. Some people love the meaty taste of a beef burger and can’t imagine a vegetarian burger being flavorful. But I’ve come across a recipe that looks so delicious that I’ll probably be making it myself for the holiday. These Chunky Portabella Veggie Burgers look as meaty and…

One Pot Pasta Meal
I was searching for an easy pasta dish one day when I came across a great recipe. This dish is so easy to make and takes very little prep and cook time. And the ingredients are easy to come by, and you probably have most of them at home already. This recipe for One Pot Vegetable Macaroni and Cheese is from Framed Cooks. The main ingredients are macaroni, cheese, broccoli and tomatoes. The only prep required is to chop the broccoli and tomatoes, and to grate the cheese. I decided to double the recipe to ensure that there would be plenty and so that I could have leftovers. The recipe…

Cabbage Steaks Meal
I have been wanting to try something different for dinner. And decided upon making Cabbage Steaks. This is a low cost, vegetarian meal option. And it’s also very easy to prepare. To make the cabbage steaks, you’ll only need a few ingredients, but the roasting time takes about an hour. Thank God I had my brother helping me. We cut the steaks about 1 inch thick. I recommend leaving the core in until roasting is done. We removed the core before cooking, which caused some of the steaks to unravel. Then we rubbed each side of the steak with smashed garlic cloves. Afterwards, we brushed each side with olive oil.…

Mandarin Orange ‘Chicken’
Being a vegetarian isn’t always easy. There are limited options for meals. And even more limited if you have to eat out. Sometimes, I admit, I do cheat and eat some turkey or chicken. But I try to find new meal ideas and more meat alternatives. Last week, my older brother bought some Gardein Mandarin Orange Chick’n. We’ve tried several of their products before, so I had no reservations at all. Their chicken substitutes are so much like real chicken, it’s amazing. You can still enjoy the flavor in a healthier way. The Mandarin Orange Chick’n was easy to prepare. And the mandarin sauce was perfect! Just the right…

Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
For our Sabbath lunch last week, I was required to find a side dish to compliment the rest of the meal. I wanted to find a recipe that did not require a lot of prep time or cooking. After all, it was the Sabbath, and we should refrain from labor on this day. I found a recipe on Pinterest for Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes (get recipe). I washed and pre-sliced the potatoes in half on Friday. And I placed them in water in the refrigerator overnight. I don’t recommend this. It caused the potatoes to be so cold, and they took longer to brown on Saturday. But overall, the recipe…
