The farmer’s market here is finally over. Finally seams inappropriate because I will miss it so greatly until April rolls around. Saturday mornings in the spring are like Christmas for me. What surprises will there be? What will I not be able to go home without after its first appearance at the market? For this soup, I let the lingering fall produce make my selections. Bok choy was only $1.00! I coudn’t leave it behind, and hence this soup was born.

Butternut squash soup is so creamy and smooth. It’s a big bowl of warm and cozy that is comforting as the cold weather starts to creep in. This butternut squash soup has a twist from the original. It’s infused with Thai flavors that make it even more rich and special. And a little bit spicy, because that’s how I roll…!

It is raining and cold outside today. A perfect day for a rich and warming comfort food like pot pies. I loved pot pies as a kid, which is why I consider them a total comfort food. This version is made with mushrooms and lentils to make it hearty and filling. Veggies like potatoes and carrots make it classic. It will even work well as a vegetarian main dish at thanksgiving, for all your veggie friends and family!

Black and blue is a flavor combination that is hard to beat! Tangy blue cheese and spicy blackening season complement each other so well, it is a classic combination. Before I started to focus on whole foods, I would put blackening seasoning and blue cheese on frozen burgers. This homemade black and blue veggie burger is so much better, and better for you!

Refried beans are a simple staple that go into many recipes. Have you ever tried making homemade? You’ll be surprised at how simple it really is. And how good! I grew up with homemade refried beans, so the canned variety was never good enough. A lot of canned refried beans are not vegetarian either, and neither was my moms recipe, but that is the great thing about making homemade! You get to choose what goes into your food.

Burgers are a favorite dish in my house. I love to play with flavor combinations, and burgers make this so easy. Because it’s a burger you can fold anything into it, and top it with anything that will fit inside the bun. Tangy mustard and sweet apricot compliment one another to make a gourmet burger that’s out of this world!
