A Polish Girl In An American Kitchen
This vegetarian (even vegan!) chili may seem a bit odd, but it is absolutely worth a try. I was initially intrigued because of the peanuts, and now it’s my go-to chili (even over meat chilies, oh my!). Everyone who’s tried it says they are absolutely …
I love harvest veggies, and this is probably my favorite side to make for the fall season. Parsnip and parsley root are so under used and under appreciated! Also, the soy sauce really adds a depth of flavor you rarely see with sweet potatoes and apples.The …

This salad is another jem from The New American Plate. I like to serve it anytime we’re grilling. It’s a perfect refreshing side for a hot summer day (so pretty much any day in SoCal). And it’s super versatile, matching anything from california style lunch, …
Kale chips are the best thing to come out of the entire alternative-chips craze. They are soooo good! And super easy to make. The most fun thing about making kale chips is that you can always continue trying different seasoning combinations! Have fun with it. …
