Рецепт edamame succotash
my kitchen at the new place is finally coming together. i cannot believe that it took me over a month to finally get everything in its place. i moved kitchen wares from one cupboard to another and then back again. it was so difficult to find the right place for everything. it really does take a long time to get a kitchen workable but i finally feel at home there.
the one thing i love about the new kitchen is the lack of cupboards if you can believe that. it forced us to buy some commercial grade wire shelving. i had reservations at first - but i really love it. everything is at my fingertips. no more digging to the back of a dark cupboard. i highly recommend it for kitchens with limited cupboard/storage space.
and for my birthday i received the final piece i needed to complete the kitchen. alex's parents and sister bought me the butcher block kitchen island i wanted. the counter space in the kitchen is extremely limited so this was the perfect answer. i want to give it a hug i love it so much.
anyway - enough rambling about the kitchen - lets get to some food!
this was dish that came out of the pre-move packing process. i had a bags of edamame and corn in the freezer i wanted to use up. i had torn this recipe out of
Vegetarian Times
a while ago thinking that it sounded like a quick and easy week night dinner and it lived up to that expectation. there is nothing particularly unique or special about this dish. it is just a simple helping of protein and vegetables. it has bold flavor and the texture of the vegetables were great. i served it with some lemon pepper pasta.
the lemon pepper pasta was really easy. just boil some spaghetti according to package directions and toss it with some good olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. lots of pepper!

main courseblack bean tacos with feta and cabbage slaw
all these flavors work so well together i can't believe i thought it
would be strange. the cabbage dressed in the lime vinaigrette doesn't
resemble coleslaw at all (i was worried about that) and the simmered
black beans are hearty enough to be the "meat" in these tacos. the feta
adds the right bit of sharpness to balance out every bite. i didn't use
any hot sauce like the recipe suggests - my addition of the salsa
removes the need for this. Read More
broccoli and cheddar cheese twice baked potatoes
i have had twice baked potatoes before and they run the risk of being kind of dry - but these are moist, luscious and creamy. the cheddar gives a good sharp bite, the broccoli makes you feel good about eating them and the half and half and sour cream are responsible for keeping them perfectly moist. i added lemon zest for a bit of extra flavor. i love the addition of lemon zest in mashed potatoes so i figured it would work here as well.

grilled vegetable tostadas with black beans
these tostadas are really flavorful. the vegetables have excellent texture and have a bit of grill "char" that adds a lovely smokiness. the addition of the black beans simmered in salsa with a little bit of cumin is what makes this dish excellent. without it - i believe it would have been a bit blah. the avocado added a wonderful creamy texture to the crunchy vegetables. everything "played together" so well! i thought it sounded a little weird to add feta to this - but that tart bite on top was perfection.

herb & spice roasted vegetables with red wine & mushroom gravy
the vegetables are bursting with big flavors from the spices and herbs.
the variety of vegetables also keeps the dish lively. just when you
thought you tasted every thing, another vegetable will surprise you.
the gravy is as hearty as any meat based gravy i ever had. all in all
is the perfect vegetarian hearty meal - it is soul food. Read More
open faced roasted vegetable sandwich
my vegetable sandwich is a total winner! the grilling of the bread gives the sandwich a wonderful crunchy base. the hummus or borsin cheese prevent the bread from getting soggy and also lends additional flavor. the roasted vegetables - well - they rock. they are not over done and actually have flavor. last but clearly not least - you can never so wrong with some really good cheese.
roasted vegetable stuffed peppers
not only are these peppers really good - they are really pretty with all the colors!
soft polenta with baked veggies
i love polenta - it is versatile and if you make it right - really delicious. the veggies turn out so wonderfully - like a vegetable "gravy".
soft polenta with grilled vegetables
these grilled vegetables are flavored by a few simple ingredients -
grill seasoning, lemon juice and olive oil. i also grill some lemon
wedges to squeeze over the top of the dish. if you have never grilled a
lemon - do so right now. the juices develop & the smoky flavor from
the grill is amazing. the polenta is soft & creamy and flavored with
garlic and shallots. i add a bit of cream and butter to the end to give
it an extra bit of creaminess. Read More
spicy vegetarian chili
this is a hearty and robust chili. the onions and bell peppers add
great texture and the touch of sweetness needed to balance out the big
flavors from the spices. the fire roasted crushed tomatoes add that
smoky flavor that screams chili. the V8 seems strange but trust me - it
is perfect for the recipe. the black beans, pasta and crumbles add a
ton of protein to make this a complete meal you feel good about eating.
i know it is not traditional to add pasta to chili - but i love it. i
would recommend adjusting the spices to your palette. i am spice lover
so feel free to adjust down if you are not. Read More
