What's for Dinner: Spinach Balls

I love this recipe! They are good hot, cold and even frozen. Incredibly versatile and yummy, too!

• 1-10 ounce package frozen spinach


• 1 cup oat flour


• 3 eggs


• ¼ nutritional yeast or parmesan cheese


• large chopped onion


• ¼ cup olive oil


• ½ t garlic powder


• 1 t salt


• ½ t thyme (maybe more)


• ½ sage

1. 350 degrees


2. Mix half the spinach and the rest of the ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. Add the rest of the spinach and pulse until mixed. Be sure to keep the spinach “chunky”.


3. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out “balls” (they are a bit runny) onto a cookie sheet. I make small cookie sized, but feel free to make them any size you want.


4. Bake for 10-25 minutes (depending on size)

What's for Dinner: Cauliflower Soup

Have I got a recipe for you! It is incredibly easy and so yummy! I can sense a taste of butter in it. (No, there is no butter and my husband has pointed out that it has been 4 years since I tasted butter so maybe my butter taste buds are a bit sensitive!) This recipe come from Vegan Italiano.

• 1 large head of cauliflower. (You can use a huge one here. Just add more stock, if necessary.)


• ¼ C olive oil


• 4 large cloves of garlic


• 4 C vegetable stock (I use Rapunzel brand vegan stock. I love it!)


• ½ t salt (I haven’t needed to add it since my stock is salty enough).


• ¼ c finely chopped flat-leaf parsley (again, never used)

1. Cut up cauliflower into bite-size pieces and blanch or steam until crisp-tender.


2. In a large soup pot, heat the oil over med-high heat. Add the garlic and, stirring constantly, let it cook for 1 minute.


3. Add the cauliflower and cook until begins to brown. (I have yet to see it brown. I just cook for 5-10 minutes and then continue with the recipe).


4. Add stock and bring to a boil.


5. Puree 2/3 of the soup.


6. Return to the pot and heat, add parsley.


7. Enjoy!

What's for Dinner: Skillet Bread

(I get so many questions about what I eat since I am meat-, wheat-, dairy-, soy-, and corn-free. So I began a recipe page at GroupRecipes.com and will be starting a "What's for Dinner" column here in my blog. You can use the widget at the bottom of the column to the left to link to my GroupRecipe page for more recipes.)

• 1 C Oat flour


• 1 C Barley flour


• ½ t salt


• ¼ rounded t baking soda


• 2 t baking powder


• ¾ C rice milk


• Vegetable oil for frying (I use safflower)

1. Mix flour together in a bowl. Add salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix well. Add rice milk and mix well.


2. Begin heating a nonstick skillet over med-low heat with safflower oil.


3. Now it gets a bit tricky because the dough is so sticky. You may need to add more flour to make it more manageable. It also doesn’t stick well together due to the lack of gluten. Flour a flat surface well and turn the dough out. Cut the dough into two pieces. Shape each into a 6 inch round. Cut like a pizza into 6-8 triangles (depending on the size you want.) Place them in the skillet. Let them brown on one side (about 5 min) and then turn for another 1-2 minutes.

Creamy Tomato Soup - a Family Favorite

• 1 15-oz can navy or other white bean


• 2 15-oz can diced tomatoes (can use tomatoes with green chiles but that is too spicy for my family)


• salt and pepper


• tortilla strips for the top

1. Put the beans and tomatoes in a food processor and process until smooth.


2. Heat the soup to hot, adding salt and pepper to taste.


3. I fry up strips of tortillas (brown rice ones in our house) and use them as decoration over the top of the soup.


4. Creamy and delicious!
