What this blog is and what it isn't

This is a food blog with recipes and ideas for using the seasonal vegetables from your garden, friend's gardens and community supported agriculture shares (CSA). If you haven't checked out a CSA in your area, it is worth your time to check out what is available to you, and LOCAL HARVEST is a great place to start.

I am trying oh so hard to become a Forks over Knives type vegan, with no animal products of any kind and no added oil. I have given up meat, fish, dairy, eggs and most processed foods and am moving toward the goal of no oil. While you will find eggs, dairy and oil in my earlier recipes, the goal is not to use them anymore.

Some of my earlier recipes include dairy and eggs, but I am moving away from that, I am endeavoring to create delicious all vegan no fat added recipes.

Vegetarian Enchiladas Verde

Now that you have made salsa Verde it's time to use it!

Serves 6

Ingredients

12 corn tortillas
2 cups salsa Verde
2 ears corn cut off the cob (or use frozen)
1 yellow onion chopped
2 cloves garlic smashed and chopped
1 can of beans of your choice, rinsed and drained
1 lb. grated queso fresco (or cheese of your choice)
1 tsp. cumin

Preheat oven to 350. Wrap 2 stacks of 6 corn tortillas each in foil. Place in preheated oven for 10 minutes to soften.
Saute' chopped onion and garlic in a non stick skillet sprayed with a bit of cooking spray until onion is translucent, add corn to heat through. Allow the onion to just start to caramelize. Add a tablespoon of water if necessary. Add beans. Using a masher or the rounded side of a spoon mash up some of the beans. Sprinkle with cumin and stir. Set aside.
Spray 13x9" glass or non stick pan with cooking spray. Ladle in one cup of the salsa Verde, spread over the bottom of the pan evenly.
Spoon a small amount of salsa Verde in each tortilla, then spoon in some of the bean/corn/onion mixture, sprinkle with a bit of cheese, roll and place seam side down in the baking pan. Repeat this until all of the tortillas are used up. Your pan should be full. Ladle on the rest of the salsa Verde and spread evenly over rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle on the remainder of the queso fresco.
Bake in 350 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes.
