A Cooking Light recipe. The husband wanted to try out some new vegetarian meals, so this was on the list as something I’ve wanted to try for awhile but hadn’t gotten around to. I thought the tofu could use some extra jazzing up, but it’s tofu so… I’d probably add some black bean paste or [...]

This has long been a favorite at my house, back from the days when I was a vegetarian. I bring it out when it starts to get cold, or I’m too cheap/poor to buy any meat. Don’t be tempted to use a store bought crust – this one is nothing like pie crust and bakes [...]

I’m trying to find new vegetarian recipes that I enjoy that don’t involve meat substitutes. Those were a staple of mine when I lived as a vegetarian for three years or so… I just used Boca crumbles and Quorn chicken. This soup, adapted from Simply Recipes, makes use of the Eastern shore’s abundance of corn [...]

So tonight I made Tofu and Red Peppers and I was thinking that, instead of having the normal teryaki noodles or whatever that we normally have, I’d have some steamed bok choy with some sauce. And then I got to thinking, as healthy as that would be, I’d probably be hungry again in about 10 [...]
I’m riding this supergrain business all the way to the end, my friends. I came across a corn and crab quinoa salad the other day, but I’m much too poor to put crab into salad (if I’m going to eat it, I’m going to have my husband make me crabcakes, thanks) so did this instead. [...]
According to the package that it came in, quinoa is “The Supergrain of the Future!” So I guess I better start learning what to do with it. First things first: Do not go into your local hippie supermarket and ask for “kwin-oh-ah.” They will laugh at you. It is “keen-wah.” Oh. I had to take [...]

I was pondering the other day what I ate in France on sweltering summer evenings, and I remembered fondly a great meal that was salad and a mushroom omelet. This is the first time I’ve tried this recipe, and it will definitely be a keeper. The next time, I might try it with [...]

I would love to tell you that this dish went over with great fanfare and celebration, but it did not because the husband does not like ricotta or spinach. But I do, and if this is your bag (baby) you’ll like it too. I was eating the filling out of the bowl and [...]

Back when I was a vegetarian (maybe more on that another time) this was one of my favorite dishes. It’s easy, and it is full of flavor. I love to serve it with some Pad Thai from a box (or from the freezer) because I’m too lazy to make real Pad Thai. [...]
