Deliciously sweet and spicy, each foil packet is like your own, personal present of deliciousness waiting to be devoured!
Decadent champagne truffles perfect for any special occasion, but with the added bonus of being cruelty-free.
Note that these are not low in calories, fat, or anything else really. But for the (very) occasional treat, they are impressive.
A DELICIOUS SPECIAL OCCASION CHEESE-BALL THAT HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR OVER 30 YEARS! I KNOW THAT THE WAY I HAVE IT (ADD FAT-FREE CREAM CHEESE)IS NOT A LOW-FAT OPTION BUT WITH SELF CONTROL AND LIMITED USE OF THIS RECIPE IT IS NICE TO HAVE FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS.
This is a healthy and festive looking alternative to mashed potatoes. It is also soy and diary free.
This is much healthier and better tasting than frozen already made Lasagna.
Now this is the kind of school I like! I wrote this healthy, fast vegetarian recipe for my Supervision class' assignment on recipe development and quality control - this thing's been tested 6 times!
The serving size of 8 is *very* generous - this makes a ton of food and is a whole meal in a bowl!
Good for a light vegan lunch, stacks of broiled eggplant and tomatoes, basil and vegan parmesan get just a sprinkle of salt and pepper before being finished with balsamic and served warm. Makes a good appetizer too, just portion one stack per person instead of 6!
This is one of those recipes that's perfect for Fall - when the tomatoes are dying off and the apples and pears are just coming into perfection. Decorated jars of the filling make gorgeous Christmas gifts too - that is, if you don't use it yourself! Makes 6 cups (3 pints), NI is per cup
My Italian stepfamily doesn't cook much, and one of the things they always lament is good, fluffy gnocchi. This is way better than anything you'll find in the store! The secret is adding a mixture of potato starch and baking powder - one binds without making the works "doughy" and tough, while the other ensures they puff with the heat of boiling water or a sizzling pan. Makes a lot, but freezes like a dream!
This vegan biscotti is not lacking in caramel flavour at all - a full 3/4 cup of vegan caramel sauce sweetens the Kamut flour dough, while flaxseeds add a touch of extra binding power. Topped with slivered almonds they're a great addition to a mug of dark roast coffee.

This pasta and spinach roll is very popular in Tuscany due to the high quality of ricotta they produce. Making the rich, eggy pasta by hand is worth the effort here - the store-bought sheets cannot do this filling justice. You can comprimise by using store-bought pasta sauce for topping it, though, if you wish.
*Note* you will need a large pot and cheesecloth for this recipe.
A great way to use up leftover canned pumpkin, this freezes very well and adds a delicious Autumn feel to any pasta you like: tortellini, ravioli or even cannelloni! If you are freezing this, stick it in a big Ziploc so that when you thaw it for use, just snip a corner and it's a pre-made piping bag!
This is a very tasty and FILLING salad that can be served as a side dish or as an entrée (2 servings). It's also great as a snack before a workout.
I got the original recipe for these kasha-stuffed cabbage rolls layered in between ribbons of sauerkraut from one of my old church cookbooks. All I did was nix the ground pork and swap in TVP, veggie broth and liquid smoke or a hearty vegan dinner delight.
Makes 6 servings, 4 rolls each
