Guilty pleasure

Some yummy Hansen's root beer floats!

Eggplant, Potato & Tomato Curry

While I don't remember where this recipe came from, I do remember it was pretty tasty. Not the best curry I've made, but not the worst either!

Sweet and Sour Tofu with Summer Vegetables and Black Rice

This fancy recipe came from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Suppers and was quite flavorful. This was the first time I had had black rice and it was nice. The veggies I used were green beans, onion, and bell pepper along with ginger and garlic. We will most likely make this one again.

Pear Crisp

We had an abundance of pears so I charged my lady with finding something to bake them in. She found this recipe in Karri Alrich's Recipes from a Vegetarian Goddess. It had pears, cranberries, apple juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg & granola in it. The topping got a little overdone due to our crappy oven but other than that it was really tasty!

Jewelled Fried Rice with Crispy Egg

We hadn't made this dish in a while and when we got green beans in our produce delivery, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. We found some red corn at our co-op and when we cooked it, it turned this lovely combination of purple & yellow, making our jewelled rice even more colorful.

Roasted Eggplant and Zucchini Parmesan

This is another recipe from Cathe Olson's The Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook. It was a lot wetter than I expected after it baked but it was tasty. It consisted of eggplant, zucchini, tofu, parsley,

mozzarella & parmesan. The Marinara Sauce I made came from the same book and consisted of an tomato sauce, onion, garlic, a carrot, basil, oregano, and parsley. The sauce was very flavorful and I will use it again for other dishes.

Cherry Tomato Stuffed Peppers

This recipe came from our produce delivery farm and was quite interesting and tasty. The peppers were stuffed with diced onion, garlic, cherry tomatoes, and basil.

Breakfast Potatoes and Veggies

These breakfast potatoes were really yummy. I got the recipe/idea from Cathe Olsen's The Vegetarian Mother's Cookbook. I used Yukon Gold potatoes, broccoli, bell pepper, onion, fresh parsley & fresh thyme. The thyme really does it for me. It is one of my favorite herbs. A wonderful way to celebrate being home in the morning.

Got a few posted

Well I got a few older meals posted since the cherry post. :-) Will add more later. Going to go spend time with my lady now.

Eggpland Rollatini with Tomato Basil Sauce

I remember we both really liked this last time we made it so with all the eggplant we've been getting I made it again. We did hit a snag this time as we were out of parsley so we used dried and I'm afraid we used too much which drastically changed the flavor. Ah, live & learn!

Spaghetti with fresh Tomato Sauce

I can't remember where this recipe came from but I do remember it was very good although a little drier than we like. Next time I would use more tomatoes. I believe the sauce was just tomatoes, garlic & fresh basil. A nice light meal.

A Big Tomato Sandwich

Since our last attempt at making this sandwich was thwarted by uncooperative bread, we picked a new loaf up when we got our next batch of yummy heirloom tomatoes. Quite delish!

Sesame Green Beans

These green beans were outstanding. Both my lady and I are particular about how our green beans are cooked and these came out perfect. They had a wonderful flavor and the texture was spot on. The bell pepper added a little extra something too.
