Homemade Manicotti

Homemade Manicotti by Nancy Miyasaki

This recipe is simple and absolutely delicious. It is a reasonable amount of work, so good to cook for a large party or family gathering. It is fun to prepare with a friend or relative, perhaps with a glass of wine in hand! I adapted this from a recipe cookoff I saw on the Food Network.

Simple French Bread Pizza

Simple French Bread Pizza by John Spottiswood

This is an easy recipe that I've been making since I was about 14. I made it last night because I was pressed for time, and all of my kids said they liked it better than regular pizza. Simple can still be delicious!

There are many zucchini recipes, but this is one that I kinda made up. It is nourishing, a good Lenten dish and quick and easy to make. Prepare items a head of time. I know your family will like this dish.

Vegetable Lasagna

Vegetable Lasagna by Salad Foodie

Lasagna laced with garden vegetables and whole wheat noodles makes a healthier pasta alternative to traditional lasagna. Don’t let the list of ingredients and/or chopping daunt you.(I just consider it my afternoon therapy session.) The veggies are cut in small pieces to layer better between noodles. Sub any combo of veggies preferred…

PURPLE AND WHITE EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA--BAKED--NOT FRIED

PURPLE AND WHITE EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA--BAKED--NOT FRIED by Cecelia Heer

I think that the first time I ever made eggplant parmigiana was in 1979. Back then, it was the "typical pizza parlor" dish with eggplant fried in vegetable oil and then covered with that Polly-O mozzarella cheese "stuff" that was wrapped in plastic and tasted as such, dusted with Parmigiano "cheese" that had the consistency of baby…

Baked Penne with Vegetables

Baked Penne with Vegetables by Salad Foodie

Reminiscent of lasagna but loaded with veggies, this dish will take center stage at group gatherings. It makes good use of summer's zucchini surplus, so file the recipe away in your stash of squash faves. Don't let the cauliflower put you off - it is so well camouflaged that while many noticed the zucchini, no one detected cauliflower…

Vegetarian Chilli Shepherds Pie

Vegetarian Chilli Shepherds Pie by Ian Dixon

Now those who have read previous articles by me on the subject of Shepherds Pie may be slightly surprised at this recipe. How can there possibly be a Chilli Shepherds Pie and made with Vegetarian mince too? Well everybody knows that a true Shepherds Pie is made with minced lamb.

Smoked Mozzarella Naan Bread Pizza

Smoked Mozzarella Naan Bread Pizza by Nanette

My favorite homemade pizza is made on Garlic Naan Bread. It's made with fire-roasted garlic, cilantro and ghee (clarified butter). Since it's baked in a tandoor oven this flatbread has a smoky taste and a light char. It's a quick bake approx. 10 min. Any combination of veggies, meats and cheeses can be used. This is a delicious…

Pasta with Grape or Cherry Tomatoes

Pasta with Grape or Cherry Tomatoes by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a great pasta from an island off the coast of Italy that I adapted from Giada de Laurentiis. The roasting of the tomatoes and capers with the bread crumbs makes for flavorful and original pasta. I've served this with and without basil, and prefer it with basil though it is delicious either way.
