Eggless Egg Salad
I love eggs and there is no reason why they can’t be part of a heart healthy meal plan but if you are vegan or simply don’t like eggs, try tofu as a substitute the next time you make egg salad. Crumbled tofu has just the right hard boiled egg-like texture and when mixed with…

Vegetarian Tortilla Soup
This vegetarian tortilla soup is packed with smokey flavor, spice, and crunch! Since you’re using lots of pantry ingredients, it’s convenient and quick to assemble. You can regulate the heat level with the amount of jalapeno pepper you add, I’m only using half but if you like it hot, add the whole pepper. Combining the…
Easy Homemade Granola
Making homemade granola was never on my “to do” list. There are so many brands and varieties to choose from, it never seemed worth the effort to make my own. But then I learned how easy it was to make. And I can adjust the ingredients to my preference. Mixing a variety of nuts and…
