Cooking from scratch is healthy, fun, and self-empowering. You decide what ingredients to use. My recipes feature lots of vegetables, spices, beans, whole grains, tofu, baked goods and desserts. All so tasty you won’t miss the meat, eggs or dairy. I do try to keep it healthy. I veer off-topic from time to time for reviews and things that catch my interest.

Hacienda Home-Fried Veggies
My book addiction hit full force this past weekend and I added two more books to my collection. This recipe was inspired by a recipe in the book Vegan Bites – Recipes for Singles. What I love about this book is the smaller quantities. With other recipes, I cut the quantities in half and there's still too much food for leftovers and freezing. I'm looking forward to trying out more recipes in this book.
I don't know about you, but I get into a rut when I have a burger. This was a nice change from the usual baked fries. Such a burst of flavor with all of the fresh, organic veggies. I think the leftovers would be wonderful in a warm tortilla with some baked tofu cubes... Five stars, I'm making this again - freakin' awesome!
Ingredients
1 large garnet yam, peeled, quartered, and cut into 1/8-inch slices
2 tsp olive oil
-----
1/2 cup diced red onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
1 medium jalapeno, seeded, and diced
-----
1 cup diced zucchini
1 ear of fresh corn (sliced off the cob!) OR 1/2 cup frozen corn
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
freshly ground pepper
-----
2 TB white wine
-----
fresh lime juice
Directions
I like to chop all the vegetables before I begin the saute. Heat oil in pan and saute yam for about 5 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and peppers and saute for about 5 more minutes. Add zucchini, corn, and spices for cook for 2-3 minutes. Add wine and deglaze pan. Take off heat and drizzle with fresh lime juice, to taste.
