Crispy Tofu Salad

Tofu is actually quite good. We eat it a lot and can tell good tofu from not so good tofu. It’s not just a protein to add to something with lots of sauce that will be absorbed by the tofu. This “shake-n-bake” salad is excellent

Cucumber Lime Granita

We haven’t tried this one yet, but getting up the nerve. (You’ll need a good movie in the DVD player to keep you company while you scrape.) Probably will substitute maple syrup for the sugar. Yep, I think it is worth it.

Deconstructed Spring Mix Salad

Summer ( or Spring) may not be here meteorologically, but it is, heralded by Farm WLIG’s Spring mix! This is ntt a recipe so much as a celebration…Because the spring mix is delicate, it is not conducive to having heavy vegetables piled atop it. Ergo:

Eggplant Onion and Tomato Stew

The origin of this is at the Beirut Restaurant in St Paul. You must go, and you must order Veggie #4. Combo platter with eggplant stew and falafel. I am forever trying to reverse engineer the eggplant stew. This is my latest.

Eggplant Parmeezian Zucchini Boat

I spend my life adapting recipes to accommodate strict vegetarian eating; so you may have noticed my recipes are a bit interesting. I haven’t converted them back because I like what I make, as it is. Please adapt them to your way of eating as you see fit. This one gets a squirrely name because I can’t legally steal the name of a cheese town in Italy without concern for the EU coming to get me!

Emerald Kale Salad

This is the kale recipes to beat all. It is in the deli case at Mississippi Market (and Whole Foods, etc.) and I always “impulse” buy it when I am shopping on my way home from work. Now if one has to have a weakness such that one impulse-buys, well, this is a good one to have. Simple, quick and perfect with a few slabs of ginger-baked tofu alongside. Hmm, maybe I just talked myself into dinner again. Funny how that happen each week!

Falafel

The uncooked, just soaked/sprouted, chickpeas/garbage beans surprised me. But this recipe is fabulous. And highly adaptable with tweaks to the spices and vegetables added. Yes, it is fried in oil, but we’ll let that slide (no pun intended!) As MP put it to me, “This is stupid good.” We whole-heartedly agree.

Focaccia bread pizza

This is our favorite way to snack on leftover pizza; make sure to make enough to keep a Tupperware full of thin snack slices! I do the dough in the breadmaker to speed things up.
