Arangini.....or Rice Balls....or Werewolf balls....I'm not sure by Michael Swiney

The German Goddess and I were discussing food one day, as happens a few times a week. On day I was making something that she couldn't pronounce and she just deadpanned "Dracula's Balls?" Ummm.....Noooo, but that's what we'll call it from now on. K?…

Tortilla Espanola by RecipeKing

Tortilla Espanola-is a delicious, meatless recipe commonly found on many menus in Spain; (Do not confuse this with the Mexican corn or flour tortilla we are used to in the U.S.). This is more of an omelet and cooked on the stovetop. Ingredients include: Eggs, potatoes, onions, spinach and cheese. It is well-seasoned and takes under…

Gnudi by The Accidental Chef

These are also referred to as "Naked Ravioli". They are like a Gnocchi made from ricotta cheese and a very small amount of flour. My recipe is for savory spinach & garlic but use your imagination, you can change it up. Perhaps butternut squash & nutmeg? (I forgot to take a picture. The one here is from the web)

Spanish Style Beans and Rice by Rich H

This vegan adaptation of traditional Spanish Style Beans and Rice is a nice light dish. Plate it with some fresh fruit slices for added color and flavor and you have a lovely, healthy dinner. If you choose to go more traditional, simply hard boil, peel and dice 2 eggs as a topping garnish and add it prior to serving.

Cheesy Vegetable Lasagna by Beth Roan

This is the best meal I have found to hide vegetables. You can use any raw vegetable you want. I prefer zucchini but you could use squash, broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers.....So far my girls believe me when they ask "what is this green stuff???" I tell them it's just spices.

Easy Broccoli and Cauliflower Gratin by Hungry Jenny

Polenta Smothered in Lentils by Suzi

Beans and legumes are a staple of the vegetarian diet. Both contain large amounts of protein and are also high in dietary fiber. When mixed with grains they become a complete protein. I have made this particular lentil recipe for many years and usually eat it with brown rice. I decided to see how well the lentils would go…

Stuffed Pasta Shells w Tomato Sauce by jason kim

I have been waiting a while to make these spinach filled pasta shells, but it sadly didn't turn out the way I envisioned. The kids and wife loved it (thankfully), but I think mixing everything in the food processor made the cheese filling too runny and definitely not the consistency I was hoping for. Next time, I will either blanch…

Pasta Primavera by Gretchen Wasniewski

A healthy vegetarian meal that is made in one skillet. It can be adapted to whatever leftover vegetables you have on hand or whatever fresh vegetables are in season. You can also customize this by using fresh herbs or the dry herb of your choice.

Italian Rice and Beans by Rich H

This is a nice rice and beans dish that is similar to risotto. It is rich and creamy. We've made the lacto-ovo vegetarian version but it can easily be adapted to vegan with some simple substitutions.

Paella Wannabe by Rich H

I had all of the ingredients I needed although I had to change things up a little from the traditional paella. I used brown rice instead of bomba or calasparra white rice. And, of course, this paella is vegetarian.

Arrabbiata Sauce by Gloria Bass

This easy, versatile sauce is revved up with a jolt of crushed red pepper for extra flavor. Perfect over penne pasta, with shrimp, scallops or Italian sausage, it also makes a great vegetarian main course without the seafood. This sauce freezes and reheats very well. I make and freeze extra batches to have on hand for quick meals.
