From a Food for Life class participant........at our last class pot luck. This is scrumptious!
This is another Food for Life recipe! Kale ups the dish's cancer fighting properties, and offers a great source of absorbable calcium.
This delicious recipe was shared by Bob and Susan during our November 2012 Food for Life Kickstart series. Bob and Susan are a delightful couple who share the joys of nutritious, plant based foods.

Let's be honest.....tempeh in its neatly compacted packaging looks the least bit appetizing. The first time I eyed it back in 2006, I wondered if this 'thing' could be transformed into something tasty and delicous. I knew its nutrition, but the flavor, well, I wondered! After feeling the fear and trying it anyway, I can loudly and happily declare, "I love tempeh!" This is a fabulous recipe that I adapted from "You Won't Believe It's Vegan!" by Lacey Sher and Gail Doherty.
This comes from PCRM's "Cancer Survivor's Guide". The zucchini adds folate and vitamins A and C. You can add lima beans or any veggie of choice.
This was one of the first recipes I fell in love with when I morphed to a total plant based lifestyle back in '06. So good and heart. Tastes like my mother's beef stew without the beef!
I found this recipe online years ago. The original recipe is tainted with ground pork and turkey. Other than those 2 toxins, the rest of the ingredients are hearty, healthy and tasty. With a little substitution, this is a winning chili. Hope you enjoy!
I've tried many Falafel recipes. Each is far better than the boxed mix which I have alway found to be very dry. The following is one of my favorites. Send me yours if you have one!
Pulled pork! Never!! Try this great combination for pulled seitan. With this you leave out the cholesterol and saturated fat and still get plenty of protein.
Mushrooms have researched cancer fighting properties. Anyone who is living with cancer might consider snacking on a few mushrooms daily. Even the plain, unadorned white button mushrooms are healthy, even though thier portabellos are favored for their taste.
This is hearty, healthy, easy to prepare one-dish meal. Fiber, protein and greens; what more do you need??
This recipe comes from Jennifer Reilly, RD, blog write par excellence, and cookbook author, "The Skinny Dish", written for Trader Joe's. This recipe is full of cancer-fighting ingredients - fiber, beans and anti-oxidants.
About 12 years ago I found this recipe, my very first black bean semi-burger. Very tasty and healthy.
There are oodles of veggie burger recipes. Try a variety till you find the one that's mouth-watering and tasty to your liking!
My daughter made this recipe a few weeks ago when I was visiting. It's from the "Moosewood Restaurant" cookbook. I made some adjustments to veganize it. It's so tasty. With a hearty green side salad and perhaps a slice of grain bread, you have a complete, satisfying dinner that's not only tasty but healthy!

Recipe adapted from Kathy Hester's wonderful cookbook, "The Vegan Slow Cooker".
Homemade Seitan
Making your own goes a long way. Far more economical than store bought! Easy, too!
This recipe is from Susan Voisin. Check out her "Fatfree Vegan Kitchen".
You can make this chunky bean chili a few hours ahead, but it will thicken as it stands.
Zippy, spicy, warming and filled with fabulous fiber. Toot, toot!
I've tried quite a few 'faux' meatball recipes because I love my meatballs and sauce. This recipe is made with seitan, otherwise known as 'wheat meat'.
