Thanksgiving Currant Mushroom Stuffing

I made my first fat free vegan stuffing.  I placed bread slices in the oven for about 1/2 hour until they were slightly crispy. I cubed the bread and set aside in a large bowl. In a pan, I cooked the chopped onions, green peppers, garlic and celery until the onions were translucent, about 15 minutes. I added the cubed mushrooms and cooked for another 15 minutes. I let this cool to room temperature.

Mango Curry Chutney

This is a big winner with my partner.  It is a yummy dish that would be lovely as a topping on something with a delicate flavor or a nice salsa like side.

Spring Stew with Garlic Crisps

Well it’s about time to make groceries!  We were craving a veggie dish and the fridge was a little light, so I thought I might try a stew.  When I started I was leaning towards something very tomatoey and decided some type of garlic bread would be good.  I was struggling with how to do it without oil or butter.  Here is what I did…

Stewed Okra & Tomatoes

It doesn’t get much easier than this dish.  Wish we could take credit for it, but we heard about it from our friend Juli who got it from our friend Dave who got it from our other friend David.  So be assured, we are merely the messengers here.

Polenta Primavera

Tonight’s dinner was easy, fairly quick and extremely delicious.  It was perfect for warmer weather too, because it tasted light and fresh and the flavors were clean and bright. It would make Rachel Ray and her 30 minute meals proud. We give you… Polenta Primavera!

McDougally Beanie Quesadillas

Today’s lunch was super yummy.  Poking around on vegan blogs last night, I saw a few recipes for quesadillas.  So today I decided to give it a try.  We had some corn tortillas in the fridge (fat and flour free) so I put one on our nonstick skillet to brown 1 side and then spread refried black beans, corn, salsa and cilantro on the browned side.

Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

This weekend, we celebrated Jasperfields’ 40th birthday! When we first started thinking about throwing her a party, I announced that I really wanted to make her a McDougally cake for her birthday.  Her favorite kind of cake is spice cake, so I quickly set about the business of locating a tasty recipe that could be feasibly mcdougallized.

Saucy Goodness: Hot Banana Maple Compote

Last weekend, I made our Pumpkin Oatmeal Cakes again, at my girl’s request.  I had pureed a cooked butternut squash a few days before in order to make an Impossible Pumpkin Pie (which I discovered I like better, using butternut squash rather than pumpkin) – so I had some left over and used it,

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cakes

This is one of those made up meals that is the result of leftovers.  I had heard about people making pumpkin oatmeal… Susan V did a great post after Thanksgiving about what to do with your leftover pumpkin and she mentioned pumpkin oatmeal too.  So one morning shortly after Thanksgiving, I decided to try it out.

McDougalling on the Road (or hectic holiday shopping food)

I just want to make a quick post since it’s been a while (we will get to our Thanksgiving posts, really).  I had a realization (and discovery) the other day while holiday shopping, and I thought it might be a useful idea for anyone doing the McDougall thang.

Cranberry Relish & Frozen Treats

This year for thanksgiving, I decided to try a Cranberry Relish recipe from Susan V’s FatFree Vegan Kitchen. It’s fresh, incredibly easy and surprisingly delicious.  I tried it once before Thanksgiving to test it out and really enjoyed it.  I tweaked it just a bit for t-day and liked it even better.
