Carrot Potato Soup with Tiny Buffalo Meatballs

Posted in not vegan, soup on April 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »

For the last few months I’ve been feeling as if something has been missing from my life.  More specifically, my body has started to crave animal products once again.  For awhile I resisted the urge because I felt that I needed to be committed to the vegan path I started to follow around 8 months [...]

Lentil Stew

Silky Smooth Veggie Soup with Asparagus Pesto

I love pureed soups.  Don’t get me wrong, I won’t turn my nose up at thick, chunky, soups/stews.  Nor will I refuse to make them.  But, the sight of a perfectly blended soup is one to behold, especially when it is a vibrant color such as the one I have made here.  Plus, soup is a perfect [...]
