Thea Tasia’s macaroni or Greek pastitsio: vegetarian
It was my favorite meal at my Thea Tasia’s house and this is her recipe turned vegetarian.
Rice and peas: vegan
This dish is perfect on a cool weather day, it’s hearty and you get a lot in one serving.
Pasta: vegetarian
This is a tricky recipe to make as the dough has to be just right or it will either split apart as you try to flatten it in the pasta maker, or it will be mushy and stick to the rollers. You’ll have to experiment until you find the right consistency. But I have to say, each time I make it I have to fuss with it a bit to get it right.
Spanish rice: vegan
I learned how to make this recipe in home-economics class in high school and it has continued to be a favorite since. I do vary ingredients and I have to admit the original recipe was made with ground beef instead of beans.
Zucchini caponata: vegan
I had extra zucchini this week and was tired of my other methods to cook it, so i thought, why not make what is traditionally eggplant, using zucchini? And it worked.
Fennel, beans, and greens soup: vegan
This is a variation on a recipe from the NY Times. I cut back on the oil and garlic. It has a nice mild flavor and is very satisfying. We used mozzarella as suggested but added it to each bowl, about an ounce, then sprinkled with parmesan cheese too.
Pesto lasagne: vegetarian
was just good. The pine nuts from the pesto overpowered the delicacy of the sauce, and the combination just did not work for me.
Pesto: vegetarian or vegan
This is my favorite combination for pesto. The avocado takes place of the heavy oils usually in pesto. I don’t measure my basil and parsley, pretty much an even amount of both, at least a cup full of each. But if I have less, it’s also ok.
Sweet potato and peanut soup: vegan
This dish can be made with any other vegetables than kale, spinach, mixed greens, etc. We had left over arugula, a zucchini, and some salsa from chipotle, I threw that all in the mix as well. We topped each serving with a tbsp of peanuts. It has just enough heat and is very flavorful.
