Tex-Mex Chili con Frijoles
This is NOT a Beef Chili substitute. This is a delicious hearty, spicy, savory dish that happens to be vegan-friendly. This is what ALL vegan food should be. Just good food.

‘Can’t tell you how many times I have wished that aromas could be posted on blogs. This chili is so loaded with synergistic aromatics that it is intoxicating.

I was privileged to spend the evening in the home […]
Asian Chicken ala Levi – Gluten Free
Today was spent processing chicken. One of my tricks for maintaining an organic diet on a budget is to buy 4 or 5 small chickens when they are on sale, process them all at once, sort and freeze them. Organic Air-chilled chicken for 1.69 per pound… score! This saves me time too. Process and clean […]
Zucchini Ribbons with Tomato-Basil Broth

You can make them from carrots, zucchini, broccoli stems, daikon, asparagus, parsnips… and you can season them any way you like. Today, I happen to have zucchini, and want to use up some leftover items in my fridge. As […]
Levi’s 3-Step Oven Venison Jerky
