Grilled Tofu with Cilantro Sauce

Posted by Anna-Lisa Finger on Jul 2, 2012 in Entrees, News, Recipes, Vegan Recipes, Vegetarian Recipes | 0 comments Tofu is so ver­sa­tile, low calo­rie and packed with healthy pro­tein that I’m always look­ing for new recipes.  The cilantro sauce really makes the tofu stand out.  It’s also deli­cious served with grilled sum­mer squash, mush­rooms or other grilled veg­eta­bles.  I mopped it up with some crusty bread, like a baguette.   Ingre­di­ents: 2 cups cilantro leaves 1/4 cup canola...

Socca, a Healthy Crêpe for Vegans and Carnivores alike

Posted by Anna-Lisa Finger on Jan 22, 2012 in Entrees, Recipes, Vegan Recipes | 0 comments I was going through my old recipes when I dis­cov­ered this deli­cious treat.  Socca is pop­u­lar in the south of France, where it’s eaten hot off the grid­dle with a cool glass of wine.  Besides the fact this recipe only requires 3 ingre­di­ents (not count­ing the salt and pep­per), it’s so easy to make.  The thin­ner you make them, the crispier and bet­ter they taste.

Gordon Ramsay’s Red Lentil Curry

Posted by Anna-Lisa Finger on Sep 14, 2011 in Entrees, News, Recipes, Vegan Recipes, Vegetarian Recipes | 0 comments I’m a big fan of Chef Ram­say.  This curry is adapted from a recipe I found online.  It’s easy, tastes deli­cious and also hap­pens to be vegan.  And from what I’ve heard him say about veg­e­tar­i­ans on TV, I’m sure he did not pur­posely make it vegan. Lentils are high in pro­tein, high in fiber, low in fat and packed with min­er­als. Besides being a nutri­tional...

Posted by Anna-Lisa Finger on Jul 22, 2011 in Entrees, How to videos, News, Recipes, Vegetarian Recipes | 1 comment When you make que­sadil­las at home, they can be a healthy after­noon snack or light din­ner when served with a salad and/or beans.   These que­sadil­las are made with whole wheat flour tor­tillas, low-fat cheese and plenty of veg­gies.  I also like to use corn tor­tillas for this recipe, they are lower in fat and calo­ries than reg­u­lar flour tor­tillas and I love...
