These bite-sized morsels are so savory and juicy they will explode in your mouth. Roasting them adds a depth and richness that transforms ordinary cooked vegetables into something elegant.

Sweet vegetables compliment the cheese filled pasta and tangy garlic in this recipe.

Replacing cream with tofu makes this decadent pasta dish a welcome addition to any healthy diet.

Good as a light lunch or add beef to make a hearty stew.

Maybe I should have called this my "Summer Farmers Market Pasta." It's full of the vegetables I brought home from the farmers market on Saturday. Like many of my recipes, it can be altered based on what you've got on hand. I almost threw in some Swiss chard (my green of choice these days) and some brilliant yellow crookneck squash, but I decided to save those for another day and another dish.

I love this as my main dish but you can add some grilled chicken if you just can't live without meat! It makes great leftovers to take to work for lunch too.

I had an abundance of zucchini in the garden this year. This recipe used one large one (about 1-1/4 lbs) and was a big hit! I would even make this for a light Sunday night supper. My son suggested adding ham next time and slicing tomatoes over the top. It takes some time, but can be prepared ahead. Try it!

I hope that you like this, because it was really yummy to my roommate and I. It looks like it has a lot of ingredients, but it is really easy to make. Feel free to sub shrimp for other seafood or poultry.

P.S. Please excuse the tacky picture--I was really feeling myself ;-)

P.P.S. Please don't hesitate to season the shrimp VERY good, this dish will get most of it's flavor from the broth left from shrimp.

I had seen some vegan patty recipes on the web and adapted this one. It is pretty balanced with fat/carbs/protein. I love to eat one of these with a salad after working out. They keep well in the fridge and re-heat well too. Delicious on a bun with vegenaise and trimmings.

Despite the fact that this is perhaps the girliest guacamole ever, to the men out there, try it. I guarantee you that it is extremely tasty. And, I am going to venture to say that any guy that can explain that he "whipped the avocado into stiff peaks" will impress any girl.
