Split pea soup, General Tso sauce, vegan chili, and more
Hello and Happy New Year! Here’s what’s happening at The Garden Grazer:
Smoky Tomato Lentil Soup
This cozy soup features a double dose of two smoky flavors: fire-roasted tomatoes and smoked paprika! It’s warming, soul-soothing, and only 7 simple ingredients.
General Tso Sauce
No chopping required for this rich & flavorful sauce! It’s savory, tangy, sweet, and can be used to flavor stir-fry, rice, noodles, vegetables, proteins, and beyond. (Make it mild or spicy - your choice.)
Vegan Split Pea Soup
A cost-efficient, budget-friendly meal that’s high in plant-based protein, fiber, and other nutrients. This vegan version replaces the ham with smoked paprika to achieve depth of flavor. Make it with sweet potato or regular potato!
Quinoa Tabbouleh
This ultra-fresh tabbouleh combines juicy tomatoes, lots of nutrient-rich parsley, and lemon. It’s easy to prepare and great for salads, dipping, or a take-along dish.
“THIS IS AMAZING! There is so much flavor, it's refreshing! Even my carnivore family couldn't get enough of this. Also, I made this for our trip to the beach and it held up well during travel, in a cooler. I've made this several times and it's always a winner. Thank you!” -Georgi
Hearty Vegan Chili
This thick & satisfying chili features two types of beans and warm, savory spices. (Plus it comes together in just 30 minutes!)
“This ticks off all of the boxes! It is quick, easy, delicious, nutritious, and inexpensive.” -Diana
Maple Dijon Dressing
A vegan “honey” mustard that requires just 3 ingredients and a couple minutes of your time. Use it as a salad dressing, dipping sauce, or condiment.

What a beautiful cribbage board! I've been playing crib since I was a child and taught both my daughters how to play as well.
