- Pizza from the Italian Pie Shoppe
- Baked Potatoes w/Green Chile-Cream Cheese Sauce, Jump Up & Kiss Me, p. 243*
- Shredded Brussels Sprouts salad
- Carrie: The sauce was quite good but I had two issues with it: (1) it was too thick - I'd keep some tomato juice (or veggie stock) on had to thin it, and (2) it didn't make enough for four potatoes - I'd double this recipe.
- Pasta w/Cannelini Beans and Broccoli, Jump Up & Kiss Me, p. 95
- Tomato vinaigrette
- Carrie: This was an easy and tasty pasta recipe. It calls for steaming the broccoli beforehand, but I think the broccoli got a little overcooked, so I'd steam the broccoli for a shorter time. The tomato viaigrette that Benjamin whipped up was excellent: grape tomatoes, cilantro, and a homemade dressing - yum!
- Vegetarian Gumbo
- Wild and brown rice
- Carrie: Benjamin had the great inspiration for using up some ingredients we had in the fridge and pantry: a vegetarian gumbo! We used Emeril's recipe as a guide, omitting the meat, using vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and adding canned tomatoes and fresh zucchini that we had laying around. Boy, was it great! A nice kick but not too hot. The roux gave it a velvety texture. I had it for lunch several times and never got tired of it!
- Indian!
- Veggie bratwurst
- Broccoli rabe
- Black Eyed Peas w/Mustard Greens, Jump Up & Kiss Me, p. 143
- Rice
- Carrie: I haven't been too impressed with the recipes from our new cookbook, but this one was easy, hearty, and tasty - a perfect combination!
* We recently purchased Jump Up and Kiss Me from a used book store and added it to our cookbooks library.
