Getting Back In The Kitchen
The simplest bit of advice for the person who wants to be a healthy eater is to 1) Eat fruits and
vegetables. Lots of them. 2) Drink water. Lots of it. 3) Stop eating fast food. It is well known
to be the cause of poor health, ie. obesity, depression, & disease.
Healthy eating requires healthy cooking and that starts by getting back in the kitchen. Healthycooking is fun and super simple. Most of the meals in the booklet are prepared in 30 minutes or
less. Plus these recipes don't require any strange ingredients. Most of these items you may
have in your refrigerator and cupboards already. Some may be a little exotic to you and if that
is the case, try it, you might like it.
All of the recipes in this booklet are vegan. Not messy in preparation or clean up. Very easy
and very healthy! These recipes are not considered gourmet. They're simple, practical, quick
and tasty.
I have included a shopping list for you. Again, most of these items may be in your frig and it'snot necessary to go out and buy everything on the list at once. Although, you may need to stock
your seasonings one time. It's a good idea to clean out your spice rack. As hard as it may be to
toss the old seasonings that you got as a wedding present 20 years ago, it must be done. Spices
should be restocked every 6 months or so. It's best to buy them in bulk. I don't mean pounds of
oregano. But in some grocery stores you can buy spices in bulk by weight in ounces. This way
you don't have to buy a full bottle of a spice that you may only use a teaspoon of every few
months. Buy what you need for a couple of uses and then it won't be so hard to toss them out if
the time comes. Everything else on the list are vegetables that you can keep a nice variety
rotating through your refrigerator.
Throughout the booklet you will findHints andSide Dish Suggestions. TheHints will give
you additional optional information, ingredients or techniques while the Side Dish Suggestions
will assist you with optional complimentary dishes to serve with your soup or casserole in order
to spruce it up a bit.

Vegetable Storage
Don't buy too many at once. I get so excited when I see the many fresh vegetables in the store
or at the farmers market. I think I am going to use all of them or try to save myself trips to the
grocery store and end up buying too many. If they are not used right away they go bad and turn
into a green black sludge in the bottom of the refrigerator.
Plan and shop for a 3 day menu. This will keep a nice variety of fresh fruits and vegetablesmoving through your kitchen and you will avoid the waste from overbuying.
Hint: Purchase fresh, organically grown vegetables for the best results and flavor.
Storing your leafy greens in green bags does work. Harder vegetables such as zucchini, bell
peppers, cucumbers, should be cleaned, dried, and stored in the vegetable crisper drawer
Broccoli, cabbage, peas and beans, green onions, mushrooms and celery can be stored in their
grocery bag.
Onions and garlic bulbs should be taken out of their bags, and stored out of the refrigerator inopen air. A basket or bowl on the table works well.
Celery can be stored in water. Sometime celery will get limp. To avoid this, cut the bottom 1/2
to 1off the bunch and put the entire bunch in a cup of fresh water. Store it in the refrigerator.
The celery will absorb the water and stay crunchy and fresh. You'll want to refresh the water
every two days. Once it starts to go limp it's no longer fresh and you either want to use it right
away or cut your losses and toss it. You be the judge.
Tools
You will need a good cutting surface. A cutting board either made of wood, plastic, or glass.
Make sure that you are cutting on a flat surface. If your old wood board is warped, treat
yourself to a new one.
A good paring knife and a chef knife. I prefer a 10 chef knife.
Hint: Always keep your knives sharp. A dull knife will have a tendency to slip off the food you
are cutting and will likely cut you instead. A sharp knife will stick to the food making it much
safer.
A 3-quart sauce pan with a lid. A 2-quart pan will work too.
Nonstick wok or a deep frying pan with a lid is perfect for stir-frying. Hint: If you dont
have a lid for your fry pan, use aluminum foil to cover it.
Blender. Any ol' blender will do. However, I prefer the high powered vita mix with a locking
lid.
A garlic press for finely mincing garlic and a vegetable peeler maycome in handy.

Side Dish Preparation
Hint:The side dish, if being served under the soup, can be made ahead of time and some will
store in the refrigerator up to 3 days. When ready to serve, if your soup is HOT, the side dish
doesn't need to be warmed. It will be warmed by the soup and will even cool it down enough so
that you can eat it right away without burning your mouth.
Brown rice preparation
Brown rice is sold in packages or bulk. Wild rice the same. I have found in the bulk section of
the grocery store a brown and wild rice mix. It's wonderful. Preparing rice is simple especially
if you have a rice cooker. If you don't have a rice cooker you can prepare rice on the stove top
in a saucepan with a lid.
In your sauce pan bring 4 cups of water to boil.
Pour in 1 cup of rinsed brown rice
Stir once to distribute, and cook uncovered for 30 minutes, adjust the heat to maintain a fast
simmer.
Strain the rice and return to the pot and turn off the heat. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.Fluff with a fork and serve.
Hint: The taste and texture of brown rice may take a little getting used to. It has a nice nutty
flavor and hearty texture. Try it a few times before throwing in the towel. I promise you'll like
it. You may also want to mix half brown with half white until you use up your remaining white
rice.
Pasta preparation
Follow instructions on the package. Most pasta needs to simmer for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to
set a kitchen timer, it really helps to get perfect pasta. Taste it once in a while until you get thedesired texture. Pasta shouldn't be too soft or too hard. Al dente is juuust right.
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) preparation
Quinoa is a tiny grain packed with nutrition. It's prepared similar to rice. So start by rinsing the
quinoa. They like to float and are very light so don't just let the water hit them with lots of force
to begin with. In a sauce pan boil 2 cups water then add 1 cup quinoa. Reduce the heat and
let simmer 2 minutes stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and set the lid. Let sit for 10
minutes. Fluff and serve.
Couscous (pronounced koos-koos) preparationMade from durum wheat couscous is like pasta in a granular form. Be sure to identify which
type of couscous you have purchased (instant or traditional) to properly plan cooking time.
Follow the instructions on the box for the type you have. You can buy it bulk or in packages,
usually boxed. In a sauce pan boil 1 1/4 cup of water then add 1 cup couscous. Turn off heat
and cover. Let sit about 10 minutes then fluff and serve.
Rice noodles, rice stick or bean thread preparation You can find all of these in the regular
grocery store ethnic foods section. They are different products but I enjoy them the same as a

side dish to stir-fry or in an Asian soup. To prepare them is like pasta. Boil water in a sauce
pan, toss in the rice noodles, stir them around and remove from the heat. Let them get sof
without boiling the heck out of them. Then once they are soft, rinse them in cold water and
strain. If they are unmanageable (stuck together) rinse them with warm water before serving.
You may have to handle (serve) these with your hands they are slippery!
Soba Noodle preparation
Soba noodles are made from buckwheat. They can also be found in your regular grocery store.Though if you are up to it, a trip to the Asian market is so much fun. Prepared similar to pasta.
Boil water first then add the noodles. Let them simmer until they are soft, but not too. Once
they have reached the desired consistency take them off the heat and strain them. It's important
to rinse them well once they are finished cooking. Otherwise they will stick together.
Lentil preparation
Lentils are a good side or addition to creamy soups if you want something to chew on. They are
very hearty and super easy to prepare. You can use them to make the soup creamier too.
There are many varieties of lentils red, green, french green, orange, brown and black. To beclear here lets use the green or brown lentils. They hold up best and don't get mushy
However, you can use any lentil you desire.
You can buy dry lentils in packages or bulk. Note the directions on the package if you are
unsure.
In a sauce pan boil 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rinsed lentils. Boil for 2 or 3 minutes and then
reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until tender about 45 minutes. Begin to test the lentils at about
30 minutes. You don't want them to over cook.
Hint: These instructions are for green and brown lentils. Red lentils take only 25 minutes to
become soft.
Hint: With any of the side dishes you'll want to prepare, serve and store them separately. Place1/2 cup of the rice or pasta in the bowl and serve the soup or casserole over the top. If you
prepare the rice in the soup, the rice will get mushy. Store the side dish and main dish in
separate containers.

Preparing Your Vegetables
Hint: Place a moist dish towel or paper towel under your cutting board to keep it from slipping.
Minced Very small pieces. Usually used for garlic and fresh hot peppers.
Diced Not necessarily uniformed sized or shaped. However, cubed pieces about 1/4.
Cubed Small pieces about 1/2 to 1 uniformed cubes.
ChoppedLarge pieces about1 or larger. Chopped pieces are usually not uniformed shapes orsizes.
Hint: Mulching the discarded tips, cores, leaves etc. of the vegetables is important and very
easy.
Garlic Garlic can be minced by hand or put through a garlic press. Crushed garlic is just that.
Smashed by the wide part of your knife blade. It opens the garlic and lets the flavors out. It's
not necessary to mince garlic if you are going to blend the recipe.
Hint:Effortlessly peel garlic by smashing the clove on the cutting board with the wide part of
your knife. Put the clove on the cutting board, place the wide part of the blade over it and with
the palm of your hand, press the knife down on the garlic. The garlic will release from the peel
easily.
Broccoli Chop the top of the bunch off the stem. Peel the stem either with a vegetable peeler
or a paring knife. Use the peeled stem in these recipes. If you find that you used a few
bunches of broccoli heads and have left over stems you may use them in the base just as you
would the onions or celery.
Spinach Clean spinach well. It almost always has dirt and sand on the leaves and in the roots
I dare say that the dirt won't hurt you (organically grown). But it's gritty and will be unwelcome
in your blender and teeth.
Onions Slice off both stem ends. Then peel the onion. Lay the onion on one stem side andcut in half. Rinse after each of these initial cuts to help ward off the tears.
For regular dicing cut the onion against the grain into the size that you want your cubes to be
Closer together makes smaller dice, farther apart makes larger dice or chop. Then holding the
onion together, slice along the grain of the onion. Again considering the size of the finished
pieces.
The Asian onion Cut the stem off the onion. Place the onion on one stem side and cut in half.
Lay one half down and slice along the grain of the onion. You will have long half moon slices.

For the Asian stir fry, a different style of slicing for each vegetable will be used. You will want
long strands or oval shapes rather than square shapes. Not necessary but makes it more
authentic.
Recipes
1. Cream of Asparagus Soup
2. Cream of Broccoli Soup
3. Cream of Cauliflower Soup
4. Cream of Spinach Soup
5. Cream of Vegetable Soup
6. Chunky Vegetable Soup
7. Mixed Bean Soup
8. Asian Stir Fry
9. Indian Curry10.Couscous Salad
The Base
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed or minced
1 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon black pepper
The base for all soups, chunky or creamy start with the same ingredients, and they never taste
the same as one another. I promise!
Hint: Some may like a little spice. You may add hot peppers sliced to your soup or on the side
and each person may add what they like. Sliced jalapenos or dry red pepper flakes will do the
trick.
It's so easy to build from here. You can create your own tasty recipes by using these simple
ingredients as a base. However, if you are missing one ingredient it's not the end of the world.
You can omit or substitute. It will most likely change the flavor a little. But you may stumble
on something really great!
Don't be afraid to experiment. This list of ingredients is not set in stone. If you really like
turnips then add turnips. If you have only red onion then use the red onion in place of the white
onion. It's okay. You may add any other veggies you like. Fresh peas, corn cut from the cob
canned stewed or sun dried tomatoes, chopped spinach or cabbage, any vegetables can be cubed

and added to the recipes. You only need to consider their cooking time and add them
accordingly. For instance if you did add chopped cabbage you will want to add it towards the
end of the cooking time (about the last 3-5 minutes) so that it doesn't turn to mush.
Hint:1/2 teaspoon of black pepper is a couple of twists of the pepper mill. You don't really
need to measure the pepper if you have a mill.
Okay for your 1st recipe we are going to make...

Go ahead and add a carrot diced up if you like. Same for the peeled potato. Feel free to use the
peel, it will add speckles to the creamy white soup.

Asian Stir-FryServes 5
2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil
1 onion, sliced
2 celery stalks sliced
1 carrots sliced
1 zucchini sliced or cubed
1 cup broccoli florets & sliced stem
1 cup green beans in 2 pieces or snow peas whole (both beans and peas need end cut off)
2 cloves garlic, crushed or minced
2 Tbsp ginger root minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
5 tablespoon oyster sauce or 3 Tbsp. Soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1. In a nonstick wok or deep skillet on high heat, saut vegetables, ginger and garlic forabout 5 minutes.
2. Reduce the heat to medium and add the seasoning and water. Let simmer 5 minutes until
veggies are tender. You don't want to over cook them.
3. Stir in greens and nuts (seeHintbelow) if desired and let sit for another 5 minutes.
4. Serve. This makes a lot of food and it's very good the next day.
Hint:Try Sesame oil in place of the olive oil. You can find it in the ethnic foods section in
small bottles. There may be black sesame or regular sesame oil. Black is a little stronger in
flavor. Try them both over time.
Hint: You may use any vegetables you like in this dish, you are not limited to the list above.
For example cubed Chinese cabbage, bell pepper, and/or corn. If you add leafy greens, such as
spinach, do so towards the end of cooking they don't take that long to become soft. You may
also add 1/2 cup raw almonds, peanuts, or cashews to get a little crunch. To spice it up you can
add 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
Side Dish Suggestion: Serve with soba, rice or rice noodles by adding 1/2 cup of either to each
bowl then serve the vegetables over the top. Serve with soy sauce if desired. Use caution, a
little soy sauce goes a long way.
