S is for Summer, Steak & Salad

My husband is quite the trooper. He eats lots of veggies, many failed efforts and actually supports me in my endeavors. But he likes steak. He makes a wonderful steak. So good it makes this Vegan girl drool and have a bite- or sometimes 10.


What's left of the bounty above shows on the plate below!
Sugar Daddy also grills up a mean piece of Mahi Mahi and some tender crisp summer squash. All of the aforementioned good food went quite nicely with today's salad creation. Especially the grilled fish.


Fresh, organic, preferably-from-your-garden ingredients:
Served my family of 5, includes 2 toddlers.

  • 1 1/2 c Spring Mix, chopped
  • 1/2 c green cabbage, shredded
  • 1/4 red onion, diced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1/4 Persian cucumber, sliced & quartered
  • large carrot, "ribboned"
  • 2 T Dill Healthy Creamy (Majestic) Garlic
  • 2 T Cashew Cream Sauce (add link)
  • 2 t Sweet Curry Sprouted Sunflower Seeds

  1. Prep all veggies.
  2. Toss together.
  3. Use scissors to chop.
  4. Eat with your favorite fork.

Light Veggie Soup with Couscous

Fresh, organic, preferably-from-your-garden ingredients:
Served my family of 5, includes 2 toddlers.


medium yellow squash
1/4 large white onion
large heirloom tomato
large carrot
2 stalks celery
4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 1/2 cups veggie broth
2 tsp nutritional yeast
couscous
1/2 can black olives

  1. Chop veggies down to fit in chute of the Vitamix.
  2. Pour in broth, start the Vitamix on low (I let the kids help feed the machine.)
  3. Blend 5 minutes or so while you cook the couscous. Actually my 9 year old does this part.
  4. When soup is smooth, add 1/2 can whole black olives, pulse a few times to incorporate.
  5. Mix in couscous- we like wild mushroom & herb.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs (I used thyme, chives, parsley)
  7. Eat with your favorite soup spoon.
