This time of year most of my solar cooking is a bit of a hybrid, some in the sun some on the stove. That way I can take advantage of a sunny morning and afternoon and still enjoy a (partially) solar cooked meal after dark. The final step of this soup, blanching the...
A bowl of this rich, satisfying, vegan stew hits the spot on a cold winter's night. Curried Vegetable Stew (adapted for the Sun Oven from Ellie Krieger's Comfort Food Fix) Ingredients 1 onion, coarsely chopped 4 cloves garlic, peeled 1 piece (1 1/2-inch long) fresh...
Here's another dinner that easy to throw together on a hectic day. Once again, it uses an ingredient that I normally stay away from; purchased spaghetti sauce, but this time of year I'm grateful for its convenience. I'd even have used frozen bell peppers if I'd...
Weight Watcher members know this as Garden Soup and know that it can be a life saver. Having a big pot of it on hand this week may be all it takes to make it through the holiday without packing on a few extra pounds. It's so low in calories and high in healthy...
