I love eggplant, zicchini, peppers with a lot of spice. To add some body, black beans make this great vegetarian dish delicious! Serve over rice/pasta, top with parmesan cheese and/or sour cream. Tastes epecially good the second day, flavours mingled.

Think you dislike beets? Not after trying this recipe! Roasting brings out the beets' natural sweetness, and the feta offers a nice, salty contrast.

We make these potatoes all the time as a side dish, when cooking on the grill. But I recentily tried this cooked in a cast iron skillet on top of the stove, they were good as well. Use the Veggies your family will enjoy, it's great with a wide variety of Veggies.

Found this on http://www.asadoargentina.com . I just got back from a vacation in Argentina and thought I would try making some local recipes. This was great over chicken.

I tweaked a few things. .didn't have fresh parsley so I had to use dried, I also added more garlic and used a little less oil. Overall, it was a hit.

vegetarian chili with sweet potatoes

Submitted by HAYHON

This recipe is originally published by Bryanna Clark Grogan. I have substituted plain yogurt for tofu sour cream as it calls for in the original vegan recipe. Sweet and savory, it is delicious for dinner or lunch with brown rice or couscous If you are using fresh pumpkin, save the seeds for toasted pumpkin seeds as a snack.

Cabbage is a good source of Vitamins A & c, and fiber. It helps to prevent cancer and is low in calories. Cabbage tastes best and is most nutritious when eaten raw or cooked for a short period of time in a small amount of water.
