It’s fall recipe time, so I thought I’d share this one for beet risotto. This is not only a nice fall side dish but can also be used for Thanksgiving. I don’t have a clue to the recipe’s origin, but know we used this for many years when we had our catering company. BEET RISOTTO…

Tortellini with Sweet Potato
When you’re a working mom you look for ways to incorporate vegetables into a meal with little to no stress, especially if dealing with small children that might not otherwise want to eat the veggies. This recipe for tortellini with sweet potato hits the spot. Not only is this an easy to make meal for…
Summer Ratatouille
With the end of summer just around the corner [sigh] I’m faced with what to do with all the delicious local veggies I’m finding at the grocery store. Summer ratatouille seemed like the best bet as I keep seeing gorgeous eggplant, bell pepper and tomatoes. Unfortunately I didn’t manage to snap photos. But… I did…
Sautéed Marinated Tofu
I am obsessed with fried tofu. I’m so happy I found and put my tweak on a recipe for sautéed marinated tofu. I can’t seem to get enough of this. I blame my changing in eating habits on my initial participation in Arbonne’s 30 Days to Wellness. My body has been cleansed of all the…
Red Rice Salad
I found a recipe for red rice salad this past spring and never got around to making it. I’m actually glad I waited until summer to make this so I could use fresh summer peaches. Sure you could use frozen, but it just won’t taste the same. Red Rice Salad 1 Persian cucumber, washed, sliced…
Pan Fried Polenta

Tomato Mozzarella Polenta Bake
I just recently started reading Vegetarian Times. And it is inspiring me to eat more “meatless” meals. I recently made a tomato mozzarella polenta bake. My poor husband is going along with this, though not quite happily. While he said he did enjoy this meal – he was of course going to have to eat…
Great Pasta Salad
This great pasta salad is my favorite and a “must make” for summertime – picnics, bbq, beach, lake, camping – I’ve taken it everywhere. My favorite thing about it is it’s an easy one to alter depending on your personal tastes & depending on what you happen to have in your kitchen at that moment….
Fried Green Tomatoes
Fried green tomatoes are an absolutely favorite food. If you’re lucky enough to find green tomatoes at your local farmer’s market buy them – I promise you wont be disappointed. I like to do this dish when the tomatoes are still on the harder side – if you wait until they’re soft, they’ll fall apart…
