Ah, Spanish rice. A dish that evokes church potlucks of my childhood. One of my favaorite church games (along with counting the number of times the minister said “uh” or “um” during the sermon) was trying to guess the number of Spanish rice casseroles that would be laid out side by side, each in its [...]

I used these wonderful round summer squashes that I found at my farmer’s market for this recipe, but regular long zucchini will work just as well.

6 zucchini or summer squash
3 small carrots, diced
4 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
4 roma tomatoes, diced

You won’t miss the fat in this lean, low-histamine version of Italian sausage bursting with the falvor of fresh basil. We made a mess of this sausage last weekend while batch cooking with friends, and a lot of it didn’t make it to the freezer because of all the nibbling.
2 1/2 pounds ground turkey breast
3 large garlic [...]

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika (can substitute [...]

This is a quick, low fat, filling vegan stew. I like to serve it over cooked amaranth, though it would also be good over rice.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 carrots, sliced into 1-inch logs
4 waxy potatoes, cut into small chunks
juice of 1 lemon
2 cups vegetable [...]

The south of France meets south of the Mason-Dixon line, and the result surprisingly seems like it was always meant to be. Susan Geiskopf-Hadler and Mindy Toomay created this delicious treat. I’ve changed their cous cous to quinoa to avoid wheat and for added protien.
1 pound fresh asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium white onion, diced
1 [...]

This recipe is slightly modified from The Italian Country Table by Lynne Rossetto Kasper. It made a splendid main dish for Christmas dinner and a family reunion a few years ago. The best part is that, whiile it looks impressive, it is actually quite simple to make, and the long baking time means that you can [...]
