Handmade savings & YUMMY veg food - don't miss it! :o)


I will never forget, it was around Thanksgiving four years ago that I stopped eating meat. (Let's just say that it had something to do with witnessing a certain bird being cleaned...EW!) That holiday was my first time preparing & eating veggies as my main course. I chose to roast a huge amount of vegetables - sweet potatoes, eggplant, carrots, red/yellow/orange peppers & zucchini with EVOO, salt, black pepper, garlic & rosemary. YUM! Now everyone looks forward to the specialty vegetarian dish that I will create. ♡

In honor of the nearing November holiday, I have decided to share a DELICIOUS family recipe: Scalloped corn. MMMMMMM. It has been a staple at pretty much every holiday gathering on my mom's side. Although this recipe is not vegan (it has eggs, milk & butter), I am sure the vegan alternatives will work just fine!

Scalloped Corn
Makes a casserole dish-ful (family-sized, dish to pass!)

1 can cream corn
1 sleeve of Saltine crackers, crushed (separated in half)
1/2 teaspoon minced onion
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
freshly ground black pepper to taste
about 1 tablespoon of butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Grease the casserole dish. Either a deep or wide dish will work.
2. Whip an egg in the dish. Add the rest of the ingredients (excluding one half of the sleeve of crackers). Mix gently, but thoroughly.
3. Melt the butter & pour over the other half of crushed crackers, lightly coating them.
4. Top the casserole with the buttered crackers.
5. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Let it cool slightly & enjoy! Store in the refrigerator for a few days at most.

Please enjoy this SCRUMPTIOUS vegetarian family recipe!

Happy World Veg Month to you - stay tuned all month long! :o)
