Ingredients:
3 or 4 zucchini (green squash)
1 or 2 lemons
salt
black pepper
chopped parsley
1 tpsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
Directions:
Wash the zucchini well. Slice them thinly, no more than 1/4 inch. Prepare
a marinade with the juice and pulp of 1 or two lemons (depends on their
dimensions), salt, black pepper, garlic, parsley and olive oil. Put a layer
of zucchini slices in a bowl and pour a little of the marinade at the top.
Do the same for all the layers of zucchini slices. Keep the bowl
in
a cool place and let it rest for 6 to 8 hours, occasionaly pouring some
of the lemon marinate at the botton on the top layers of the zucchini.
Grill the zucchini for a couple of minutes (till they become tender). Keep
the marinade and use it as a dressing for the grilled zucchini. (Serves:
4. Preparation time: 30 minutes + time to marinade)
Ingredients:
1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans
3 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed butter)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon each cumin and paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Drain the beans and reserve the liquid. Process the beans until smooth
in a food processor using the steel knife, or mash them well with a potato
masher or fork. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. The mixture
should be moist and spreadable. If it is too dry, add enough of the reserved
bean liquid to achieve the desired consistency. Serve with crackers, pita
bread, or as a filling in lavash rolls. (Makes about 2 cups)

From Marie Oser - Veggie Chef
Ingredients:
3/4 lb. broccoli crowns, cut into 20 florettes
25 oz. jar fat free tomato sauce
28 oz. can whole plum tomatoes
14.5 oz can Italian flavored stewed tomatoes
6 oz. can tomato paste
6 oz. burgundy wine (fill tomato paste can)
4 fresh basil leaves, snipped or 1 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. granulated garlic
2 bay leaves
8 oz. pkg. lasagna noodles
3 3/4 cups lite silken tofu, drained
1/3 cup sliced scallions
4 lg. garlic cloves, minced
10 oz. pkg. frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 Tbsp. Bragg Liquid Aminos
dried Basil for garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350_. Bring a quart of water to
a boil, and blanch broccoli 30 seconds. Immediately plunge into ice water
to stop cooking process. Set aside. Stir together the next 3 ingredients
in 5 qt. saucepan over low heat. Add the tomato paste and wine; stir. Add
basil, garlic, and bay leaves. Simmer until ready to assemble casserole.
Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions, drain noodles and
rinse with cold water.
Place drained tofu in a large bowl, and mash with
potato masher. Add all remaining ingredients, except basil, one at a time,
stirring after each addition. Drain and rinse noodles. Cover bottom of
a 9x13 pan with prepared sauce. Spread about 1/2 cup filling along the
center of each noodle, then roll the noodles up. Tuck a broccoli florette
in both open ends of each roll and place in pan, 2 across and 5 down. The

- From Kellie Conn/Avalon Crystals
Ingredients:
1 box of lasagna noodles - 9 cooked noodles
1 can Hunt's brand canned spaghetti sauce 'mushroom or
garlic type' NO meat
1/2 Tofu Brick - pressed
1 Large Onion-white preferred-chop into pieces.
6 cloves of garlic-chopped
Fresh Basil - around 3 T. chopped or to your taste
Salt/Pepper
8 white Mushrooms-chopped
1 Green Zucchini-Chopped
1 can olives-sliced
1 Yellow Squash (thin)-chopped
Cheddar Cheese-grated around 2 cups
1 Red or green bell pepper-chopped
Red Wine - 3 T or dump some in! hee hee
Olive oil
Note: If you can find the noodles that don't need to be cooked,
buy them - it saves time.
About pressing tofu: I like Island Springs brand but any will
do as long as it is fresh. Unwrap the container; take out the tofu,
cut into two lengthwise, place in kitchen towel and press. Take out
cutting board and place on top of wrapped tofu. Place heavy cans on top
of cutting board - this will press the water out of the tofu, making
it more stiff with texture.
To prepare:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Take out 8x10 pan or one that will fit!
Get out frying pan and add some olive oil - just dump some in - it
is very good for you.
Once hot, stir-fry all of the veggies until tender.
Add the Hunt's sauce, tofu (crumbled by hand) and olives.
Simmer for 20 minutes at low temp.
Now it is time to layer. Place some sauce on bottom of baking
pan, layer three noodles, layer sauce, layer cheese. Start again
with three more noodles and repeat until the pan is full.
Cover with tin-foil and bake for 45 minutes. Once done, let sit for
an hour - if ya can wait, it's even better the next day.

Broccoli and onions make a delicious filling, but any steamed vegetable works equally well.
Ingredients:
9-inch Whole-Wheat Pie Shell
2 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1 Tbs. olive oil
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 cups regular or low-fat milk
1/3 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (6 oz.)
1 large egg
1 large egg white (reserve yolk for pie shell), lightly beaten
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare, bake and cool pie shell as directed.
Keep oven on.
Meanwhile, in large saucepan fitted with steamer basket,
bring 2 inches water to a boil. Add broccoli; cover and cook until just
tender, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook,
stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat; set aside.
In small saucepan, whisk together milk and cornmeal.
Bring to a very slow boil over medium heat, whisking often. When mixture
starts to thicken, reduce heat to very low and cook, whisking constantly,
until medium-thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in cheese,
half at a time. Cool briefly, then whisk in egg, egg white, mustard, basil
and salt. Add sauteed onion and mix well.
Arrange broccoli in cooled pie shell. Scrape cornmeal mixture over
broccoli and smooth with spoon, wiggling spoon so mixture settles. Bake
until quiche is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and
cool at least 20 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serve warm.

work together with soy protein in fighting disease. The best way to consume isoflavones is in food form, so that
you can benefit from all of soy's nutrients and beneficial compounds. The highest amounts of isoflavones
and soy protein are found in tempeh, whole soybeans (like edamame), textured soy protein, soynuts, tofu
and soymilk.

From Abbey's Vegetarian Recipes
The vibrancy of the greens, the toasty flavor of the sobas, and the
spicy sauce make this a delightful meal.
When making the sauce, be particularly careful with the chili peppers.
Also, you may like more or less maple
syrup and lime juice, so be prudent with these ingredients and add
a bit at a time, tasting as you go.
Ingredients:
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes (460 mil.)
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
3 Tbs. ginger juice from a 3-inch piece of fresh ginger (45 mil.)
(Finely grate the ginger, wrap in a thin cloth, and then squeeze the
juice through the cloth into a cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (60 mil.)
2 Tbs. Maple syrup (30 mil.)
Juice of 1 small lime
1/2 cup sesame oil (120 mil.)
1/4 tsp. crushed red chili pepper (1 mil.) (more or less to taste)
Salt
3 Cups chopped spinach (700 mil.)
3 Cups (700 mil.) chopped beet greens (700 mil.)
1 Tbs. olive oil (15 mil.)
1/2 red onion, chopped
12 ounces soba noodles (336 grams)
In a food processor, blend the tomatoes, garlic, ginger juice, parsley,
maple syrup, lime juice, and sesame oil
together until smooth. Taste. Add a pinch of the red hot chili pepper.
Blend, taste, and add more if you like.
Season with salt.
Wash the greens to remove any sand or dirt. Heat the olive oil in a
large sauté pan, add the onion, and cook over
high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the greens and cook for 5 minutes,
until tender.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a tiny bit of oil,
and cook noodles until al dente (about 5
minutes). Remove from heat and drain. Place noodles on individual serving
plates. Spoon some sauce on the
noodles, place greens on top, and spoon a topping of sauce on the greens.
Be decorative. The sauce will warm up
from the heat of the greens and noodles.

From Our-Daily-Bread.com
Ingredients:
12 c Water
6 ts Vegetable Bouillon granules
4 Tomatoes, fresh or 1-lb can
1/2 c Corn, fresh or canned
1 Celery rib, diced
1 Onion, diced
1/2 c Okra, cut
1/4 c Rice, white or brown
1/8 ts Tabasco Sauce (optional)
1 c Shredded cabbage (optional)

Place all ingredients in a large pot, bring to boil, cover and simmer
about 20 minutes until all vegetables are

NOTE: I use Uncle Ben's Converted Rice as it seems to hold its shape
better in long cooking periods. Any rice
will work if this soup is not reheated several times, but it usually
is!
This is a thin soup, I sometimes add shredded cabbage, chard, bok choy,
or other green vegetable to it. The
greens make it thicker and more filling, but add few calories. This
doesn't resemble the real Cajun Gumbo, but is
good for those days when you feel you've over-indulged and need to
cut back. I keep in it the fridge and use it
as a snack when I just have to have something else. You can also add
herbs, hot pepper, it is very versatile,
and a good starting recipe.
From Mollie Katzen Online
Savory, earthy, and pungent, these incredibly satisfying pancakes are
almost like little individual omelets. They
reheat well in a microwave or a toaster oven. The batter keeps
well for several days in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
Cook the wild rice ahead of time (see instructions
below).
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 medium-sized mushrooms (1 1/2-inch diameter), sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
4 large eggs
1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour or rice flour
4 scallions, minced
1 cup cooked wild rice (see below)
1 cup (about 5 ounces) crumbled goat cheese
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Nonstick spray for the pan
A little unsalted butter for the pan (optional)
Optional Toppings
Sour cream or yogurt
Flat-leaf parsley (torn leaves)
Minced chives
Chive blossoms
Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat for
about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the
mushrooms, and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in
1/2 teaspoon of the salt and sauté 5 minutes
longer. Stir in the garlic and lemon juice and remove the pan from
the heat without cooking the mixture any
further.
Beat the eggs in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk in the
flour and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. When this
mixture is uniform, stir in the cooked mushrooms, including all their
juices. Add the scallions, wild rice, goat
cheese, and black pepper, and stir until well combined.
Wipe out the skillet used in Step 1, and return
it to medium heat. After a minute or two, spray lightly with
nonstick spray, and if you like, melt in a little butter. When the
cooking surface is hot enough to sizzle a bread
crumb, use a 1/4-cup measure with a handle to scoop batter onto the
hot pan, and fry for about 2 to 3
minutes on each side, or until golden.
Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature with the
topping(s) of your choice. Decorate with purple chive
blossoms, if you're lucky enough to have some. To keep the pancakes
warm, transfer them to a rack on a baking tray, and place the tray in a
200°F oven until serving time. (The rack keeps them crisp.) They are
also good at room temperature.
Preparation time: About 35 minutes Yield: 12 4-inch pancakes (4 to 5 servings)
To cook wild rice:
1 cup wild rice
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
Place the wild rice, water, and salt in a medium-sized saucepan and
bring to a boil over medium heat. When it
reaches a boil, cover the pot, and lower the heat to the slowest possible
simmer. Cook for 1 1/4 hours, or
until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender and has "butterflied"
or burst open. (If the grain has
become tender, but there is still water left, drain it off.)
Yield: About 3 cups

From Tara Harpis / VegWeb.com
Ingredients:
large portabella mushrooms
egg substitute/soymilk mixture
Italian flavored breadcrumbs
vegan cheese, mozzarella style
spaghetti sauce
spaghetti (I like angel-hair pasta)
Directions:
First, you clean the mushrooms. You don't need to take out the black
stuff out of the cup of the mushroom, but
you need to remove the stems and wash the cups. Dry them off, and dip
the mushroom in the egg substitute.
Then you need to dip the "shrooms" in breadcrumbs. Put them in a medium-high
pan, frying them in olive or
vegetable oil. While you're cooking those, start your pasta. When the
mushrooms are done, put them on a
cookie sheet, and cover them with spaghetti sauce and the vegan cheese.
Put that in either the oven, or
toaster oven until the cheese melts. Serve this alongside the pasta,
and you got a meal that'll turn any
omnivore into a confirmed veg!!! Good Eating!!!

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water (120-130 degrees F)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
Pesto
1/4 sweet onion, sliced
4 cups spinach, chopped
3 cloves garlic
1 cup frozen sweet corn (fresh is great, once
it's in season,
but boil for 3 minutes first)
4 ounces mild goat cheese, crumbled
6 oz organic mozzarella cheese, grated, or
more to taste
1 medium organic tomato, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Notes: I like to use organic cheeses whenever possible
to lessen my exposure to bovine growth hormone, antibiotics and
pesticides. Spelt flour gives this dough a nutty taste, but if you prefer
to be a bit more traditional, all purpose flour works too.
Directions:
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar with 1 cup warm water. Add
½ cup flour. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile: slice onion, rinse and chop spinach, peel garlic.
Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, 1 more cup flour into yeasted water,
blend, and then add another half cup. Mix. Add cornmeal, and begin to knead
dough until elastic, adding extra flour to ensure that the dough is not
overly sticky. (Spelt flour seems to be more sticky than regular flour,
but you should still be able to knead it without most of it sticking to
your fingers. You might need to wash your hands once to get any initial
sticky flour off.) Knead for about 4 minutes.
Set dough aside to rest for about 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 420 degrees.
Meanwhile, chop garlic. In a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil
over medium high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Separate dough into two lumps, and make flat disks, about ½
inch thick. Form a slightly raised crust around the edges.
Spread pesto sauce to taste over crust. About 1 – 2 tablespoons per
pizza, so the bottom is coated, but not overly thick with pesto. Sprinkle
½ cup corn on each pizza, and then the mozzarella cheese. Spread
the spinach evenly over the pizzas.
Arrange tomato slices and onions on top of the spinach and sprinkle
with goat cheese. Cook for about 10 -12 minutes, or until the crust is
golden brown on the edges.

Ingredients:
2 stalks broccoli, chopped (including peeled stems)
2 T peanut butter
3 T soy sauce
1 T brown sugar
1/4 c. water
juice of half a lemon (1-1.5 T)
3-4 bunch scallions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 T minced fresh ginger
hot sauce and/or roasted sesame oil to taste
8 oz. whole wheat udon noodles (or use linguini)
1/2 package tofu
Microwave or steam broccoli until crisp-tender; drain.
Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, sugar, water, and lemon juice; mix
well. Add scallions, garlic, ginger, and
additional seasonings (hot sauce, sesame oil). The sauce will look
curdled, but it will smooth out when cooked.
Boil the noodles. Meanwhile, pan-fry the tofu. Add the drained noodles
and broccoli and toss to heat evenly. Add
sauce and toss to combine thoroughly and heat through. (If your tofu
is crumbly, as mine usually is, you can
pan-fry it, take it out, and add it back just before serving.)
Ingredients
2 (12.3 ounce) packages Mori-Nu silken tofu, extra
firm
1 fresh lemon, juice only
2 tablespoons honey or fructose, optional
2 (4 ounce) package Mori-Nu mates lemon mix
2 cups crushed plain or cinnamon graham crackers
1/2 cup melted soy margarine
1 tablespoon ground coriander **
Directions
Preheat oven 350 degrees. In a 9 inch pie pan place crushed graham
crackers, coriander, and melted margarine, mix well. With fingers mash
crust to bottom and sides of pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes cool before filling.
In a food processor place tofu, lemon juice, and honey and mix well until smooth. Add lemon pudding mix and blend until mixture becomes smooth again. Fill pie crust with lemon tofu mixture, and spread evenly with rubber spatula. Chill about 4 hours. To get a cheesecake texture chill overnight. Serve with favorite fruit topping. Serves: 6 - 8.
**Use ground coriander only if using plain graham crackers.
***Double this recipe and place tofu mixture in a spring foam pan to
get a 4 inch high New York style cheesecake.

Ingredients:
16 peices of asparagus
head of bok choy, choped
fresh package of yaki-soba
3/4 cup of water
soy sauce to taste (I recommend about 2/3 tablespoon)
Directions:
Simply boil the aspargus. When its done boiling, drain and let sit
while you start to cook yaki-soba in a frying
pan. Fry until golden. Then pour the water, soy sauce, and bok choy
in, and cover. Let that simmer, giving it a
good stir once in awhile to check, till the water is gone. Chop up
the asparagus and place everything in a bowl.
That's when you eat it ... really nothing left to do - though sometimes
you can toss snow peas in too.
Serves: 2
Preparation time: 20-30 mins
1 cup stuffing
1 cup melted butter
1 cup uncooked salt/pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush chicken well
with melted butter, salt and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and
popcorn. Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the front of the
oven. Listen for popping sounds. When the chicken's butt blows the oven
door open and the chicken flies across the room, it's done.
