When you need a “go-to” side dish you can whip up in a hurry, it doesn’t get much simpler than this!
Especially if you use Steamer Green Beans.
Do use “seasoned” rice vinegar (not plain) – it does make a difference.
Here’s the recipe!
Green Beans with Braised Onions
The holidays and the leftover desserts will soon be behind us, which means that many of you will once again resolve to start a new diet on January 1.
The top three resolutions made every year typically include losing weight, getting healthy and fit, and living life to the fullest. Fortunately, all three of those goals can be achieved with one lifestyle change….namely, the right food choices.

There are hundreds of diet plans on the market today. But “buyer beware.”
Typical diet plans have about a 3% success rate. That means that 97% of people following today’s traditional diets (Keto, Paleo, Atkins, South Beach, and even Weight Watchers, among others) will NOT have long-term success.
Many people fall prey to these questionable diet plans in an effort to achieve quick weight loss, not realizing the health problems in store for them down the road.
The answer to permanent weight loss and improved health is simple, achievable and proven by mounds of unbiased research. It’s not a typical diet of restriction, nor is it a diet that requires super human efforts to refrain from eating. Plus, everything you need to do it is at your disposal.
Let me show you the difference between healthy complex carbs, and unhealthy refined carbs.
Let me show you the LAST diet you’ll ever need. A diet which isn’t a DIET at all. It’s a lifestyle plan that will restore your health and vitality, with weight loss being a natural byproduct.
No counting calories, no tiny portions, no counting points/carbs/anything. Eat when you’re hungry!

This blueberry pancake recipe remains my all-time favorite! It’s super easy to prepare, and the cinnamon and maple syrup give it just the right flavor. You’ll notice it calls for 1.5 TBS baking powder – that is not a typo! The baking powder is what makes them fluffy.
Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes
1.5 cups whole wheat flour
1.5 TBS baking powder (aluminum free)
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
3 TBS maple syrup
1/2 – 1 cup blueberries (I use frozen, thaw them a bit; or use fresh)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Mix dry ingredients, then add wet ingredients and stir until just mixed.
Cook over medium heat in a non-stick, dry skillet. Once a few bubbles appear in the middle, flip and finish cooking.
Note: You may need to add more plant milk between batches, as the batter gets thick!
Serves 3-4.

Here’s another recipe we’re adding to the “keeper” file!
Smoky Refried Bean Soup is tasty, thick, and can be served with baked tortilla chips or topped with a dollop of guacamole. It’s also wonderful as a topping over smashed potatoes. Here’s my amateur photograph:
Plus, this recipe by Susan Voisin at FatFree Vegan Kitchen is simple to make. Want more heat? Simply adjust the spices to your liking. One more note, the recipe calls for optional Mexican oregano, but we used regular oregano and it was great.
Enjoy!

We made this recipe during the holidays and it did not disappoint! Having not eaten ham for over 30 years, this savory, smoky, sweet meal was a real treat. Makes great sandwiches, too!
Does it taste exactly like pork ham? No, because it’s not a pig. But it’s definitely close enough and comes without the known cancer risks of eating processed meats. Plus it’s packed with protein!
