Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & HerbsEggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late… |

Italian Spinach SoupSuprise, surprise. Another amazing recipe adapted from Marcella Hazan's Essential's of Italian Cooking. This is one of my bibles. Not only did I love this spinach soup, but all four of my kids did too! Everyone had mutiple servings. We served it with simple sourdough toast, though Crostini (Italian croutons) is what Marcella… |

On these hot summer days, you may not want to fire up the broiler, but this salad is so easy to bring together that when the coals are ready on the grill, just lay the unhusked ears of sweet corn over the… |

Veggie Burgers Inside OutThis is a really amazing veggie burger recipe I adapted from a recipe in Super Natural Cooking. I am a burger fanatic, and I've never found a veggie burger that I think can stand up to a great hamburger. This recipe comes the closest...primarily because it doesn't sandwich a carb loaded veggie patty between two carb loaded buns. It… |

Southwestern Sweet Potato CasseroleI adapted this from a Stuffed Acorn Squash recipe that sounded great. My kids aren't big fans of squash...but they do love yams and sweet potatoes. I thought this was wonderful served with warm rice. I sprinkled cayenne on mine to spice it up a bit. It was even better as leftovers the next couple of days. The photo did not come… |

Garbage Salad (not really)This salad will make the meal, or be the meal. Broccoli, oranges, almonds, raisins, mushrooms, onion & bacon - and a fabulous classic sweet & tangy creamy dressing! Vegetarians can substitute bac-o-bits, or not add a bacon substitute. Throwing together bits and pieces of a variety of items has long been the basis of some great… |

Garlic Roasted CauliflowerI used to think cauliflower was boring and my family agreed. But I've now found so many wonderful ways to prepare it that it is becoming one of our favorite vegetables. This is an easy and very flavorful version I adapted from the Barefoot Contessa. Adjust the amount of lemon juice you apply based on your own tastes and the dish… |

Broccoli and Mushroom QuicheI made this quiche for father's day and it was adored by the adults, not so much by the kids. The garlic ads a nice dimension and a little kick. I loved it, and will definitely make again. Note: Quiche can be baked 1 day ahead and chilled. Reheat, uncovered, in a 325°F oven, about 25 minutes. |

Mom's Zucchini CasseroleThis is adapted from a recipe my Mom made for the family years ago. She used summer squash. I used zucchini instead. Any squash will work so use what you grow or have on hand. I added more onions than she used and also included herbs de Provence to add some flavor. Be cautious in adding salt as the soup has plenty in it. If you… |

It depends what we have in at the time. Add in any combination of your favorites! I… |

Butternut Squash and Apple Soup (with Pressure Cooker Option)Inspired by a recipe from New Paradigm Cooking (Sandbach, Terranova and Ware), I chose to forego the cookbook’s recommended 30 minutes simmering time in a stockpot, for a pressure cooker rendition which cut the cooking time to well under 10 minutes… |
