garlic green beans
with all of the recipes i’ve already posted here, i have yet to include one that utilizes beets or green beans. ironic, i know. so i decided when i finally did one, i had to do it up right. if you fry green beans raw, they shrivel on the outside but are still under cooked [...]
simple black bean soup
in the past few days i have definitely had my fill of sweets. so i’m taking a break from my christmas-cookie-blitz with some hardy, filling and simple black bean soup. i know that making a batch of soup can sometimes seem like an undertaking, which is why i’ve tried to make this soup as simple [...]
christmas cookies: ginger snaps
we are in the holiday home stretch! and while christmas baking it truly meant for, well, christmas, it can be liberally extended to new year’s day ( just like keeping your tree up). so get all of those purely-decadent-and-much-too-sweet-for-the-rest-of-the-year recipes in now while you still can! here at sweet beet & green bean i’ve been [...]
sweet potato latkes with vegan sour cream
i know i’ve been going all out with christmas cookies this month, but the time has come to celebrate the other delicacies of the season. and though i’m not jewish i can appreciate a good latke when i taste one. here, i toyed around with the recipe to come up with a not-so-traditional version of [...]

soynog
nothing makes me think of christmas more than eggnog. but the idea of a tall glass of milk and eggs doesn’t appeal to me much anymore – thankfully, a little soy milk and tofu does the trick just fine. season with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and just a pinch of turmeric to give it a yellow [...]
gooey pumpkin cranberry bread
when i think of pumpkin cranberry bread i think of a christmas party i threw 3 years ago – it involved a chirstmas tree, christmas music and a full spread of seasonal treats. probably one of the most popular items on the menu was pumpkin cranberry bread. 3 years on, i’m going back to that [...]
raw cinnamon sunflower seed milk
you can make milk out of nearly any seed or nut. i decided to use sunflower seeds for this recipe, but you can use almonds, cashews, oats, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, rice or buckwheat – it just requires a little soaking, blending and straining. the result might not taste exactly like milk but makes a [...]
