I have been a vegetarian for over half my life. When I became pregnant with my son, I dabbled in fish for protein. After a scare with melanoma cancer I decided to go vegan and soy-free a couple times a week. My husband and son eat all kinds of meat which makes cooking even more fun and interesting. This blog is a culmination of recipes from seasonal and vegan foods to vegetarian meals that can include fish and other proteins. Every recipe is clean, fresh and mostly veggie!

Warm Kale Salad with Roasted Yam and Chick Peas
This is such a hearty fall salad you won’t miss the meat, dairy or flour from your dinner. It is super healthy and full of seasonal veggies from the local farm stand. I added chick peas for protein which complement the vegetables quite well.
Ingredients
1 yam chopped to 1-2 inch cubes
1 onion chopped
1 bunch of kale leaves chopped and rinsed (remove the stem and discard)
1 can chick peas drained and rinsed
3-4 tbs olive oil
3 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp paprika
3 cloves of garlic minced
On a baking sheet arrange chopped yam with 2 tbs olive oil, 2 tsp salt and 2 tsp paprika. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 30-40 minutes.
In a large skillet heat up 1-2 tbs olive oil over medium heat. Add in chopped onion, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp pepper. Saute for about 5 minute then add minced garlic and chopped kale. Saute everything together for another 10 minutes. Add chick peas and saute for 3-5 more minutes. Arrange on a plate and top with roasted yam. Then it is ready to serve.
