Raw Beet Salad With Toasted Sunflower Seeds and Goat Cheese

(1 reviews) Posted by One Happy Woman  

This is less recipe than method and ingredients. Delicious. If your Mr. Wonderful doesn't like goat cheese - gorgonzola would also work. This is a beautiful salad - glistening deep red gratings of beets, greens and dots of goat cheese. MORE»

Stuffed Mushrooms - Vegan Friendly

Posted by One Happy Woman  

These are delicious and no one was more surprised than I was, the confirmed carnivore—they satisfy that fifth 'umami' taste for savory, protein-rich foods. They are easy to make and, frankly, better than a lot of recipes I have that involve meat... MORE»

Melanie's Moussaka

Posted by One Happy Woman  

I'm not sure how authentic this is, but my name's Greek, and I've been to Greece, so that should count for something. This is not too time-consuming; it's pretty good stuff. No, I take that back - it's really good stuff. MORE»

Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Dill

(2 reviews) Posted by One Happy Woman  

I found this years ago online and have made a few changes. The large amount of dill weed may seem over-the-top, but it pays off. People who hate sprouts love these. Well, most of them. These are good hot or cold - if any are left over. MORE»
