That Cooking Chick

Buffalo Chickpea Dip

February 13, 2013 By Hazel 2 Comments

I was looking all over the internets for a great dip to serve for Superbowl Sunday. I finally decided to try this one (along with hummus and guacamole!) and wow, was I impressed! This is probably one of the best things I have made in a while. And really simple too! It was a hit, even with meat eaters, so I am happy to share it! I found it on Pinterest, my addiction, and want to give a huge thanks to The Vegan Version for posting it :) I went a little dip crazy, but they were all great! So left … [Read more...]

Orzo with Basil and Red Bell Pepper

December 21, 2012 By Hazel Leave a Comment

I love pasta, but the kind I can eat cold is my favorite. Plus basil is something I ask for extra of on pretty much everything it might be good on! Especially pasta dishes. I normally throw this together on a Sunday night so that the hubster and I can have it for lunch during the week. You could even throw in some chicken if you'd like some meat or maybe some grilled tempeh or tofu for no meat eaters! I love it just the way it is - easy, delicious and pretty! This could even be a nice little … [Read more...]

For the first time ever, I cooked a meal for Thanksgiving at our very own place! My parents came over and we all stuffed our faces with delicious food. I just wanted to share all the goodies we had, along with recipes of course. My vegan green bean casserole - I super duper love this stuff so I made an extra large batch so I'd have plenty of leftovers. I also added in some sauteed mushrooms and onions because I had em left over. It was an awesome addition! Potatoes Au Gratin - My … [Read more...]

Sweet Beer Bread

October 15, 2012 By Hazel Leave a Comment

I never really liked beer until I found Blue Moon. We were in Gruene, Texas and decided to head into New Braunfels. We walked around a bit and found this cute little saloon with about a million beers on tap. We gave it a shot! We told the bartender 'Sooooo, neither of us like beer. Got anything for that?' and he didn't even reply, he just turned around and brought us both a glass of beer with an orange wedge in it. My husband still wasn't a big fan, but I fell in love. Now I make sure I … [Read more...]

Vegan Green Bean Casserole

September 28, 2012 By Hazel 1 Comment

There is a lot of green bean eatin' going on in this house! Green bean casserole is one of the first vegetable dishes I got my husband to eat consistantly (and enjoy and beg for!) and I have changed it up quite a bit over the past 7 years. I used to make the recipe on the back of the fried onion can, but that got boring. Then I started making my ritz topped green bean casserole. This was mainly for my husband who loves sour cream and ritz crackers. Then, I decided to make a 'healthier' green … [Read more...]
