Creating a healthier world one bite at a time.
It has been quite an exciting week for The Herbal Peasant. An extra class has been added to the Goggleworks line up of culinary classes.
Ming (contact at The Tea House and Gift Shoppe in Wyomissing to register) and I have finalized our hands-on culinary tea class.
I also stopped by to see Angela Spears (we live in the same neighborhood and started our business roots at the same time) at The African Import store in Sinking Spring. We are creating an exciting hands-on culinary class in her very cool (think 10,000 Villages) store.
Gail Suhr (she makes fabulous aprons and sells them at Sunshine and Blue Skies at the Village Shoppes in Wyomissing) has graciously offered to place the culinary classes advertisement in a pocket on the apron - how nice is that!
This week our hands-on culinary classes menu includes:
Wasabi Canapes - think horseradish meets cauliflower setting on top of colorful veggie bites
Veggie Gumbo - all the vegetables and kick as the original
Acorn Squash Salad - sweet and savory duet on the tastebuds
"Spaghetti" with Marinara Sauce - toss the high carbs aside, these noodles are made with veggies and no flour, packed with flavor and fiber. Also featuring homemade marinara sauce and mushroom non-meatballs
"Chutney" Topped Pineapple Rings - warm pineapple ring with a delightful mix of cool cucs and mango paired with the heat of jalapenos
Nut Butter Cookies - We use whole wheat pastry flour, raw sugar cane, cardamom ...guess you have to come to the classes :)
Peace and health,
Kelly
On with the show!
  Who knew? Mash beans, add steamed, mashed cauliflower, a pinch of wasabi and a dash of soy sauce. Spoon this sinus clearing mixture mile high on raw, sweet red beets and crisp, cool Asian pears would create such a WoW on the tongue! |
Prepping for a spicy vegetarian gumbo: peppers, onions, celery, tomatoes, garlic, thyme, cayenne, veggie broth and of course the star of the show - okra!

| Remove peel, add to baby spinach, top with a drizzle of herbal dressing and add blueberries. |
Did you know you can peel a mushroom to clean it? Have you ever tried a green sauce for pasta? A poblano pepper, chocolate cherry tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice and garlic. Whiz in a food processor for a raw sauce or saute first for a cooked sauce.
You may notice the colorful array of "pasta" = summer squash, zucchini, carrot and peeled butternut squash.
Do you see the "meatballs" ? The left pic, top right and on the third pic on top of "pasta". They are vegan, chopped shrooms (raw or saute) add a nut or seed butter, a smidge of seasoning, form into balls = faux meatballs.
Get creative! Three different ways to serve the pasta.

Whole wheat pastry flour + white whole wheat flour +baking powder + raw sugar + zest and seasoning. Add sunflower seed butter + oat milk + stir, bake.
Thanks Kim for sharing your vegetarian power T.
