Thai Green Curry with Potatoes and Green Beans

October 18, 2016 by Maggie Jones 2 Comments

Thai Green Curry with Green Beans and Potatoes

Hearty potatoes and tender-crisp green beans in a fragrant, creamy Thai curry… this simple dish is so tasty you won’t believe it takes less than half an hour from pantry to table – or that it’s vegan and gluten free. Tasty it is. Authentic it is not. I know that. Please don’t yell at me…

Sichuan Shirataki & Cucumber Sesame Noodle Salad

Sichuan Shirataki and Cucumber Sesame Noodle Salad

Happy 2016! I hope you had an awesome New Year. This year I surprised Brad with a trip to Catalina for their annual Gala in the Avalon Casino. If you’ve never been, the casino is a large, beautiful art deco building with a massive ballroom and movie theater that was built in 1927. It’s never…

Neto’s Perfect Michelada

May 2, 2015 by Maggie Jones Leave a Comment

The perfect Michelada - ultimate refreshment in minutes

Micheladas are my Green Eggs and Ham.  For years I insisted they must be gross and wondered loudly and snobbily why anyone would adulterate delicious beer with Clamato.  Luckily, our friend Neto came by one day with all the fixings and crafted one of these delicious drinks in our kitchen.  One sip was all it…

Super Skinny Creamy Spinach Pasta Primavera

April 26, 2015 by Maggie Jones 4 Comments

Gluten-free, vegan pasta primavera that's just 150 calories a serving

Does a giant bowl of creamy noodles packed with Spring vegetables for under 150 calories sound too good to be true?  Creamy AND vegan? Noodles AND gluten-free? Brad didn’t believe me either until I used this recipe to try out Miracle Noodle’s new spinach shirataki noodles. Granted, this is a very different dish that your…

Vegan Spanish Chickpeas with Chorizo

April 22, 2015 by Maggie Jones Leave a Comment

Spanish chorizo and chickpeas (vegan)

I spent last week in London and Porto for work. It was a crazy hectic few days trying to accomplish everything that needed to be done and, while it was beautiful and wonderfully productive, I ended up averaging just 4-5 hours of sleep a night (not much by my lazy standards) and was pretty worn…

Mushroom Bourginon

Mushroom Bourginon over Potatoes - Gluten-free, vegan meal

Whoa! Somehow over four months have passed since we made and photographed this.  I probably would have forgotten to do it if I weren’t ready to make it again and looking for the recipe. Granted, having been born and raised vegetarian I’ve never had Beef Bourginon but I can’t imagine it’s any tastier than this vegan…

Baked Eggplant Parmesan Stacks

February 16, 2015 by Maggie Jones 6 Comments

Cheesy baked eggplant Parmesan stacks

I’d been toying around for a few weeks with the idea of veggie stacks. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted besides eggplant… maybe ratatouille stacks with roasted zucchini, peppers, and goat cheese or mushrooms with a roasted pepper coulis or something Greek-inspired with sumac and feta (all of which will probably still come up…
