Veggie Quesadilla

Mmmm

Vegetable Chower

Vegetable Chowder

Ingredients:

1/2 Onion (yellow or white)
1 Carrot
3 Celery Stalks
2 White Potatoes (skinned and cubed)
1 Broccoli Stalk
1/2 can Corn
10 shrimp (Raw. I use frozen and raw with shells on)
2 cups Milk
1 Veggie Bouillon Cube
Salt
Maragine
Garlic
Flour (with milk) for thickening

Instructions:

1. Chop onion, celery, carrots and garlic and put it into a pot with some margarine or butter
and sautee. Add some salt to help release the water in the vegetables.
2. After the onions are cooked, or somewhat cooked, add 2 cups of milk, diced potatoes, chopped
broccoli, 1 veggie boullion cube and mix together. Cook for 20 minutes maybe, or until potatoes
are soft.
3. While it cooks, de-shell and de-tail the shrimp that you have thawed out if needed
4. Make a rue with flour and butter/margarine on medium heat. Cook out the flour, you want a
nutty fragence. 1 minute.
5. Add rue into the soup and stir in, make more rue if it isn't thick enough. Add more milk if there isn't enough liquid in comparison to all the veggies.
6. Add frozen or canned corn, and shirmp. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimps are cooked and turn the proper colour. Don't add the shrimp if you want it to be vegetarian.

Vegetarian Bean Chili

Vegetarian Bean Chili

Ingredients:

1 can Mixed Beans (chickpeas, kidney beans, etc)
1/2 can Black Beans
1/2 can corn (or frozen)
1 can Tomatoes
1 Onion (white or yellow)
1 Red Pepper
2-3 Celery Stalks
2 Cloves Garlic
2 teaspoon cayenne/chili pepper (1 teaspoon if you want it less hot)
1 + 1/2 tablespoon cumin
1 + 1/2 tablespoon coriander
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 veggie cube

Instructions:

1. Crush garlic, and dice 1 onion, 1 red pepper and a couple celery stalks.
2. Toss these elements into a big pot with some margarine in the bottom. Add a little salt if you want, helps release the water inside the vegetables.
3. Let it cook for 5 minutes.
4. Put in 1 can of diced tomatoes.
5. Add spices. 1 veggie cube, 1-2 teaspoon of chili pepper (don't do too much if you don't like things hot), 1 + 1/2 tablespoon of cumin, 1 + 1/2 tablespoon of coriander, 1 tablespoon brown sugar (I like things that are spicey and sweet, you can leave this out if you wish), dash of pepper
6. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
7. Add in 1 can of mixed beans, 1/2 can of black beans (if they aren't in your mixed beans), and 1/2 can of corn.
8. Simmer for 20 more minutes.
9. I recommend letting it sit/simmer off the heat for a bit with the lid on. This will give the flavours a chance to blend and mingle, and get all happy.
10. Top with shredded cheese and green onion if you wish.
11. Serve with blue corn tortilla chips... and sour cream! My favourite!
