Soak 2 cups dry red beans overnight.
Simmer the soaked, rinsed beans for at least 1 hour while preparing the other ingredients…
1 chopped onion
Several cloves minced garlic
2 chopped green peppers
2 chopped carrots
3 chopped celery stalks
1/2 large or 1 small chopped cauliflower
Small bunch of chopped kale leaves (remove center stem or mince stem & use)
1 Pkg (4) chopped Field Roast Apple Sage Sausages (or other vegan sausage)
28 oz can organic tomato puree
5 C water
1/4 t EACH: black pepper, cayenne pepper & gumbo file
1/2 t celery salt
1 t EACH: oregano, basil & parsley
2 t EACH: low sodium veggie broth powder, paprika & thyme
2 bay leaves
Saute the veggies and the spices in a large soup pot with a tablespoon of coconut oil for several minutes, then add the water, tomato puree, vegan sausage and the cooked, rinsed beans. Simmer everything for ~40-60 minutes. (Just make sure the beans are fully cooked if your beans were only partly cooked when you put them in the pot.) Add more water if needed to get the desired thickness. Make it more spicy if you want!
Makes 9 pints…Freeze ‘em up! Use wide mouth glass canning jars.

Here goes my first blog post!
Just yesterday I listened to a podcast that must have been made for me. It reinforced everything that the “little voice” in my head has been telling me for quite a number of months. It just took me way too long to start acting on it!
A week ago, I decided to start this blog because I want my version of on-line vegan outreach to go “beyond Facebook” and get out into the universe. I believe I need to get this message out, even if no one reads it.
The podcast is Raw Vegan Radio’s episode 0127 with Markus Rothkranz. See the link here: Raw Vegan Radio 0127
Here are some key phrases that really resonated with me:
- Listen to your heart & have the courage to do what it says.
- Give up. Stop resisting. Get out of your own way and let it come naturally.
- Start walking in the direction that feels right and the path will reveal itself.
- You’re the only one doing it YOUR way.
- Clean out anything that’s a burden.
- I’m not in it for myself.
With these thoughts in mind I proceed with my little blog…spreading my message in my own way!
