Cabbage Soup

Cabbage soup made with savoy cabbage, fennel bulbs, sweet onions, garlic, and vegetable stock served with a beautiful rustic bread.

Pierogi with Mushrooms

Potato and onion pierogi with mushrooms. Loads of mushrooms, sweet onions, tamari sauce, vegetable stock, and some corn starch to thicken.

Can't wait to try this again.

Hummus and Veggies

Hummus and avocado with carrots, celery, tiny tomatoes, sweet peppers, and a whole wheat bagel.

A very quick lunch to put together.

Pasta with Tomato Spinach Sauce

A simple tomato sauce with soy protein and loads of fresh baby spinach served on whole wheat spaghettini.

Oatmeal and Prunes

Oatmeal made with ground flax and golden raisins served with stewed prunes and soy milk.

I love this breakfast!

Texas Chili Fries

Texas chili made with sweet onions, garlic, mushrooms, tomatoes, soy protein, black beans, vegetable stock, corn starch, and Cajun spice served on oven baked russet potato fries.

This is awesome chili mainly because I've found an awesome Cajun Spice that's heavy on the chili content and light on the Indian spices.

Five star ratings even from the carnivores.

A Tofu Wrap and Veggies

A whole wheat wrap with tofu, avocados, romaine lettuce, and sweet peppers. A veggie bowl of carrots, tiny tomatoes, celery, and cucumbers on the side.

A perfect kiss lunch that I have with pleasure several times a week.

Peanut Butter Cookies

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix the dry. Mix in the wet. Put rounded tablespoons on a sheet and press with a fork for the classic PB cookie.Bake at 350 for about 12 minutes.

Definitely kid approved

Tofu Schnitzel

A tofu schnitzel made with extra firm tofu, panko, whole wheat flour, water, salt, and pepper served with roasted sweet potatoes and corn.

The tofu schnitzel is my daughter's recent favorite when her brother is having steak.

Veggie Burger and Fries


A veggie burger on a whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup, and hot sauce. Oven baked fries on the side.

Veggies and a Wrap

Mung bean frijoles refritos, red peppers, avocados, romaine lettuce, and hot sauce wrapped in a wholewheat tortilla. A bowl of cucumbers, radishes, and celery.

This is definitely one of my 'go to' lunches.
