Dairy-Free Salmon & Corn Chowder

Serves: 8 people
Hands-on time: 30 min
Total time: 40 min

This recipe is a mashup of two recipes I found online. One was regular clam chowder but made with coconut milk, and the other was regular salmon chowder with creamed corn. They both sounded awesome so I made a mix of the two recipes and changed the onions into leeks because I had some in my refrigerator and wanted to use them up. I also had homemade seafood stock in my freezer, but a good quality pre-packaged seafood stock will do just fine. Also, I wasn’t a huge fan of the lemony undertones so I’d probably omit the lemon next time, but if you like your chowder lemony go ahead and add it.

Thai Chickpea Stew Over Brown Rice (Vegan)

Posted on January 31, 2018February 3, 2018 by Lisa P

One night I was making Dirty Rice and was suddenly inspired to make it into a complete meatless meal by adding chickpeas. I also changed the cooking method and added a packet of thai curry paste. Oh wow thank you to the divine being that inspired me because this was the best meal I’ve manifested in a while.

It’s wonderful as a main course for a vegan diet. If you’re not vegan I recommend sprinkling with some crumbled feta cheese (see condiments). If you like meat you can add a cup or so of cubed chicken with the garlic in step 4 and saute for 2 minutes instead of 30 seconds.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 large carrot
1 medium yellow onion
1 stalk celery (optional)
3/4 C chopped red cabbage
1-14 oz can chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans), drained
2 C fresh broccoli Continue reading “Thai Chickpea Stew Over Brown Rice (Vegan)” →

Turkey & Potato Curry

Posted on January 27, 2018January 28, 2018 by Lisa P

I found the original recipe for this Turkey and Potato Curry on the web years ago but I have long since lost track of where I found it. My notes show that I made several modifications to make it easier to throw together, and a little bit healthier by substituting a few ingredients I didn’t care for.

Mexican Baked Tilapia

Posted on January 26, 2018January 28, 2018 by Lisa P

I have some great modifications I’d like to make to this mexican baked tilapia dish, however it’s pretty healthy by itself, even without my simple adjustments (which mostly have to do with reducing effort and fitting into our meal plan model). The most important thing is to get 2 pounds of tilapia instead of 1.5. You don’t really need to increase the rest of the ingredients (but you can if you want). You will need a slightly bigger baking dish to fit the additional fish. The reason for the larger quantity is so you can use the leftover cooked fish in another meal later in the week.

Here are some simple changes you can make to reduce the time required to make this dish. Continue reading “Mexican Baked Tilapia” →
