Vegan (Say What?!) Gumbo
Gumbo (a West African word that means 'okra') is traditionally served over long-grain white rice, but feel free to health it up by using brown rice. I was challenged to come up with a vegan gumbo recipe that removed the meat, but kept similar consistency, texture, and that savory, spicy flavor. Laissez les bons temp rouler!
Low-Carb Beef Cabbage Stew
I modified another recipe on this site for South Beach Diet® Phase 1. Not only is it on my diet, but it tastes delicious! Garnish each serving with sour cream.
Traditional Irish Stew
Irish stew is more commonly made with lamb in Ireland. It's easy to prep and then let it cook slowly until the meat and vegetables are fall-apart tender and the broth is full of flavor. Every Irish household has its own recipe for this comforting dish and this is my mom's. It's perfect on a cold day or on St. Patrick's Day served with a pint of Guinness, of course!
