Kale Chips

May 12, 2012 by Willowtree | 3 Comments
copyright2011_willowtree_kale_chips_3

In this world of crazy processed food and bizarre snacks that claim to be natural and made from pure ingredients when some say they’re not even really food, baked kale chips are a healthy, simple homemade alternative when you just need a little something to snack on. Warning: this snack is so tasty the aforementioned “little” may turn into “a lot”…and we will not be held responsible.

Vegetarian Lasagna

It was one of those days when I couldn’t decide what to make for dinner. My mom was visiting from BC and we wanted to cook something together. “Why not lasagna?”, she said. I had never made a lasagna before so I thought, what a perfect time to create a vegetarian lasagna for all our veggie friends?! The result is a dish fine enough to serve your meat-lovin’ friends too.

Curried Butternut Squash Soup

We’re huge soup fans. Like, huge! A fabulous catch-all for vegetables in your fridge, and super easy to make while you’re multitasking with that big life/work/home project (soup pretty much cooks itself!). This is an incredibly simple vegetarian, dairy and gluten free soup. If you’re a meat eater, you can use chicken stock instead of veggie stock. The key is to bake the squash first, so don’t skip that step!

Hummus is a staple in our house. As a returning vegetarian (Tina) and an almost vegan (Jackie), we love hummus for so many reasons!

Roasted Garlic & Potato Pizza *plus* How To Grow Garlic & Potatoes

February 24, 2012 by Willowtree | 1 Comment
willowtree2011potatopizza2

This heavenly, delicious Roasted Garlic & Potato Pizza is Willowtree’s monthly collaboration with Andrea of Heavy Petal. Just as you have received in past month’s, we provide a recipe using a seasonal ingredient, then Andrea provides her tips for growing that ingredient in your garden.

This was our first attempt at making potato pizza and we’ll tell ya, it was a breeze. What makes this a dream pizza for food sensitivity folks is that there is no sauce or cheese, and if you use Willowtree’s gluten free . And adding a sprinkle of course sea salt (we love Maldon) gives an extra dimension and crunch.

Someone once told us they would never eat this soup because it looks too healthy. We politely laughed along with them, and then replied, “No problem, more for us!”.

Jambalaya is known as as a simple, easy-to-prepare dish and something you might eat if you are looking for that ‘stick to your ribs’ kind of meal. In other words, it’s hearty, filling, and this one has a nice bite to it.

Meat eaters rejoice, this is a delicious dish that satisfies both your cravings for protein and curry. It’s a snap to make in the kitchen, and we found that it makes enough for lunch tomorrow. To make this dish vegetarian, substitute the chicken for strips of tofu. Enjoy!

Kale Smoothie *Plus* How-To Grow Kale

Hello November! Well didn’t the weather (and the temperature) change just about as fast as you can say ‘where the heck did I pack my gloves & scarf’?!

Maybe you live in a beautiful southern place where the weather is still warm, and not to discount how beautiful Fall is here in Canada, but it’s become pretty darn chilly pretty darn fast.

Awesome Apple Coleslaw

This coleslaw needs no introduction. Yes, we are loving fall; yes, we still have so many apples that this recipe helps us enjoy them; and yes, it’s as easy as pie to make (I wonder where that saying came from; pie isn’t always easy, right?).

Great as it’s own side dish, or served on top of a protein (we were thinking fish), in any season, this coleslaw is straight up yummy. And no dairy or gluten to be found in it!
