[sheena12]

This kid and family friendly concoction hit the spot last night -
spaghetti squash
polenta slices fried in a bit of olive oil
Paul Newman Marinara sauce
and a BIG leafy green salad with baby arugala, tomatoes, sliced red onions, cucumbers and black olives.
Very east and satisfying!

Me again and this time I fed a house full of teens and tweens - only a few vegetarian or vegan!

We had "Make Your Own Taco / Tortilla Night'
This is what I did (cooked would be untrue) I put out -

` Hard corn tacos and flour tortillas
- shredded iceberg lettuce
- diced tomatoes
- vegetarian chili mix - prepared with half the liquid - or your fave meat analogue
- dicesd avocado
- vegan cheese such as Diya Cheddar (from Whole Foods) or the cheese of your choice ir both.
- vegan and non vegan "sour cream"
- salsa
NAPKINS! LOTS of NAPKINS!
and thats it guys! the kids had fun! For desert? Watermelon!
Even the carnivores left happy and full!

I just made a delicious lentil soup with lentils, canned tomatoes, dried bolete mushrooms, dulce, onions, garlic, basil, carrots and the key to the great flavor.... Westbrae mellow white miso.

Yum!

Ohhh I looove cabbage and may have to give this a try. Is it weird that I actually ~like~ to chop/shred the stuff?

I had vegan roasted red pepper pesto on pasta, garlic roasted brocoli, and vegan garlic bread. It was a garlic theme tonight....love garlic.

Here is the menu foe tonight -

Vegetable baked ziti made with Diaya shredded mozzarella cheese
thinly sliced summer squash, mushrooms and chopped spinach;
I mix whole wheat pasta with white pasta.
If I feel like adding ricotta i blend firm tofu with soy milk a little sea salt parsley and nutmeg.
Bakes nicely!
I use Newmans marinara and serve with garlic bread and a tossed salad.
For desert we go to the local Italian ice stand.
If there's room!
