Double YUM!

I had this for lunch today. DOUBLE YUM! I LOVE Indian Food and I am a fan of Amy's Kitchen. This is the first time I have had this one tho and it's FAB!!! It's Curried Peas and Cheese with Rice and Chana Masala made with organic rice, tomatoes, and peas! And it's WONDERFUL!!!!

Red Quinoa

I recently bought a new kind of Red Quinoa. Many of you may not know what Quinoa is - so CLICK HERE for the Wiki Page. It's great stuff! In short...it's a grain that the Inca's used. It's a complete protein and it's gluten free.



I like both regular Quinoa as well as Red Quinoa. I think the Red is a tad more flavorful. I often put it in a Hummus Quinoa Casserole that is featured in the Vive Le Vegan Cookbook by Dreena Burton.

I'm looking forward to trying some new recipes, too! If I have success with any of them - I will let you know!

"Chreesy" Rice & Veggies Casserole

The other night I made "Chreesy" Rice and Veggies Casserole. Chreese is made by Road End Organics and is a vegan alternative to cheese. I love the Chreese Mixes found in these lil envelopes...

They also have a gluten free version - just look for the gluten free symbol on the front. So...what's in this dish you ask? Well, there is White Rice, Chreese, Peas, Carrots, Potatoes, Dried Minced Onion, and Bread Crumbs. You can use French Fried Onions, too. And if you are looking for gluten free omit them or use a gluten free bread/alternative. I must say I was pleasantly surprised with this...it was very good and I will be making it often!

Here is another look at the dish!
