Weekday Vegetarian: Mashed Potato, Rutabega and Parsnip Casserole

Posted on December 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Weekday Vegetarian: Mashed Potato, Rutabega and Parsnip Casserole

Photo: Kelly Rossiter My husband is involved with an non-profit organization in Ontario that preserves historic buildings. Every year they have a silent auction as a fundraiser and one of the things people bid on is dinner for four at our house. Everything I serve is from Ontario, down to the wines, so I usually suggest to purchasers that dinner in the spring or early summer will provide a bit more choice in terms of produce. This year our guests chose to have dinner in December, so that meant root vegetables would be on the menu…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Posted on December 13, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Coverage of Factory Farming & Animal Welfare Has Decreased US Meat Demand

photo: 王 博齊 / Creative Commons This is really pretty encouraging: A new study from Kansas State University shows how increased media coverage of animal welfare issues in recent years has led to a decreased demand for meat in the United States.

Weekday Vegetarian: Caramelized Butternut Squash with Sage and Hazelnut Pesto

Posted on December 13, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Weekday Vegetarian: Caramelized Butternut Squash with Sage and Hazelnut Pesto

Photo: Kelly Rossiter Here is a great recipe to add to your repertoire. I made this for a dinner party, and in the last minute rush forgot to mix the squash with the pesto. Honestly, the caramelized squash itself was so delicious, nobody noticed the missing ingredient. The pesto on it’s own was delicious as well and I imagine it will end up adorning some pasta shells. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Weekday Vegetarian: Coconut Tofu Curry

Posted on December 3, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Weekday Vegetarian: Coconut Tofu Curry

Photo: Kelly Rossiter Most of the cookbooks that promise dinner in 30 minutes or less are filled with recipes that involve opening a lot of cans, so when I saw this scratch recipe from the cookbook Time for Dinner I thought I’d give it a try. It certainly was quick and easy and it was quite tasty, although I didn’t have a lot of the suggested toppings on hand, which I think would add more interest. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Holy Cow: the World’s Happiest Cows and Best Milk

Posted on December 1, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Holy Cow: the World’s Happiest Cows and Best Milk

Photo: Bhaktivedanta Manor It’s cow bliss: the dairy in Hertfordshire, run by the Hare Krishnas. There are only 44 of them but life is sweet: on this farm all the cows have names, they are hand-milked whilst listening to Sanskrit music and they feed on grass all year. Calling it a ” Hilton for Krishna Cows “, the new farm is built on the site of George Harrison’s old mansion in the countryside. It is a state-of-the-art “sustainable sanctuary for cattle where animals and nature are given the highest respect.”… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Weekday Vegetarian: Pinto Bean Mole Chili

Photo: Kelly Rossiter I’ve tried lots of vegetarian chilies over the years, but I seldom find them really satisfying. My book club was having a chocolate themed dinner and I found this recipe for Pinto Bean Mole Chili and decided to try it. Everybody loved it, and they ate the entire pot, along with all the other main course offerings that people brought…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Ethical Barbecue: Can Traditional Eateries and Better Meat Coexist?

Posted on November 23, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Ethical Barbecue: Can Traditional Eateries and Better Meat Coexist?

Image credit: The Pig on Facebook As a British transplant to North Carolina, I have always been fascinated by this state’s barbecue culture. But as a flexitarian who eats mostly plant-based foods , and who tries to stick to local, humanely reared meat only on occasion, I’ve often been frustrated that the most long-time, traditional eateries also seem to serve the most intensively reared meat. It’s a problem that is not exclusive to barbecue, and it is a strangely ironic… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Are Some People Not Fit to Be Vegans?

Posted on November 22, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Are Some People Not Fit to Be Vegans?

Photo by Takver via flickr and Creative Commons license . What to eat? It’s still a touchy subject, and posts about food choices here at TreeHugger tend to draw (at best) sprited debate and at worst, heated ire. So here’s more fuel for the fire – dedicated vegan food blogger Tasha at the Voracious Vegan has turned her back on 3.5 years of veganism, drawing support but also ire from her readers. Some people say veganism doesn’t meet the nut… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Weekday Vegetarian Thanksgiving: Harissa

Posted on November 19, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Weekday Vegetarian Thanksgiving: Harissa

Photo: Kelly Rossiter In addition to the gravy for the tofu cake , I wanted to make a sauce for the vegetable tagine . The tagine has lots of spice in it, but it’s not at all hot. My son is a great afficiando of hot foods, so this was an easy way to accommodate people who’s tolerance of heat might not as great as his. Just a spoonful was all that was needed for most of th… Read the full story on TreeHugger
