"Vegetarian Thanksgiving Menu Arugula & Pear Salad Mashed Garlicky Potatoes with Portobello Gravy Green Beans with Caramelized Red Onions Roasted Vegetable Galette with Olives Apple Crumb Squares with Apple Cider Sauce" - Katy S from Bookmarklet

"Acorn squash’s natural shape makes it just right for stuffing. This filling has Mediterranean flair: olives, tomato paste, white beans and Parmesan cheese. Serve with: Mixed green salad with radicchio and red onion and crisp white wine, such as Pinot Grigio." - Katy S from Bookmarklet

Here's how I learned to do it: place it on a folded damp towel, place a cleaver or large knife in the spot you want to cut, whack it with a rolling pin. (Not too hard, though) - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

There's a section on the page devoted to vegetarian recipes, too! - Katy S

"Diced eggplant turns tender and tasty sautéed with garlic and olive oil. Toss with fresh plum tomatoes, green olives and capers and you have a simple light summer sauce. We like it over angel hair pasta, but any type of pasta will work. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a mixed green salad." - Katy S from Bookmarklet

This is a dish my husband would love. - Anika

"In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette." - Katy S from Bookmarklet

I want to go to there. - Derrick

"Traditional recipes for apple squares often use plenty of trans fat-laden shortening in the crust. We replaced it with a mixture of canola oil and butter and swapped out half the all-purpose flour for whole-wheat pastry flour for a little fiber. They are best enjoyed slightly warm. Gently reheat any leftovers in the oven or toaster oven to recrisp the crust." - Katy S from Bookmarklet

Oooooh. And I just bought some braiburn apples, too.... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Mmmm.have a bunch of apples. Thanks! - Shevonne

So far on the list for this week is stuffed bell peppers, black bean soup, and a vegetable strata (in the slow cooker). - Rochelle

"Vegetarianism used to be simple - its protagonists foreswore the flesh of any dead animal. Today there are "veggies" who eat fish, and people who eat no meat but don't call themselves vegetarians. What happened?" - triple t from Bookmarklet

"If you grew tomatoes this year, chances are you've still got a few green ones sulking on the vines. You've been holding out hopes that they are going to ripen. Time to face the truth, and today's recipe will ease the pain. Southerners long ago figured out that green tomatoes, lightly breaded and pan-fried, have a delicious tang that you will look forward to. You might even find yourself sneaking a few in August next year. Smoky, spicy mayo is my favorite companion for fried green tomatoes. This version has one surprising ingredient: tomato leaves. I know, I know. You think they are toxic. Harold McGee says think again, which is good enough for me, though you can of course omit them and increase the parsley if you are really concerned. Personally, I find the smell of tomato leaves completely intoxicating, so I love the chance to infuse a bit into my sauce." - Mathew A. Koeneker from Bookmarklet

I might have to try this out. It sounds good. - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

"Lime, cilantro and fresh jalapeños offer a fresh and zippy contrast to the earthy nuttiness of brown rice in this simple Mexican-style side dish." - Anna Haro from Bookmarklet

Yup! - Nicholas Kreidberg

This sounds so good! - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

Well, you're in the business, you should know. But its lentils and pasta, can't be bad. In fact yum! - Myrna

yumm - Shevonne

Om nom nom. Looks so good. - cecily

"i cranked out a deep brown beer batter, rolled it in some panko, fried 'em up and, well, there you have it. served with a delicious vegan buffalo sauce on the side and a creamy cucumber sauce (straight from the garden) makes for one delicious appetizer tray." - Trent Olson from Bookmarklet

Rochelle, was it tasty, even though it didn't look like the picture? - Trent Olson

"A refreshing fruit salad made with two types of melon and drizzled with a sweet and tangy ginger syrup. The fresh ginger-infused syrup in this melon salad can be made in advance and tossed with the fruit just before serving." - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

"Juicy and sweet, peaches are a great choice for smoothies. Fortified with soy milk, this refreshing smoothie is perfect for breakfast or as a cool down on hot summer days." - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

I had a smoothie this morning that had peaches in it! Nom! Nom! :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

"This chilled tofu salad, brimming with crunchy cucumbers and green beans and tossed in a tangy Miso-Ginger Vinaigrette, is a gratifying, filling, healthy meal" - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

That looks tasty indeed! :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

"many years ago a group of my friends and i went up north to a a place in minnesota called grand marais.  it's really beautiful up there, especially if you take the north shore scenic drive right along lake superior.  while we were visiting we stumbled upon this little restaurant/bar called "my sisters place" we absolutely fell in love with this place for all of it's unique decor and it's wonderful theme of "sisters".  much to our surprise the menu offered quite a good amount of meatless dishes (unfortunately they list fish as meatless....hmmm, not so much) and great bar appetizers.  the one that stuck with us all was the deep fried portobellos served with a horseradish dipping sauce.  cold beer in one hand, portobellos in the other, we were very happy travelers." - Trent Olson from Bookmarklet

That sounds good. I think I may need to hit up the Asian market today. - Anika

"One portobello mushroom has about 30 calories and no fat or cholesterol. The hearty mushrooms are great substitutes for meat and cook up quickly over a grill. Fresh garlic, balsamic vinegar and olive oil season the portobellos while the tomato, basil and mozzarella toppings add Caprese-inspired flavors to the meal. Tuck the ingredients into soft, whole wheat pita for a great lunch or dinner on the go." - Anna Haro from Bookmarklet

Yum! - Lindsey is Fierce!

So got hungry now! Looks deliciously yummers! - Nia

Is there anyone here who likes strawberries? This looks so good! - Myrna

LOL another day. - Myrna

"There are things you eat because they’re good for you and things you eat because they’re delicious. But where the twain meet – at the blessed intersection of Good for You and Delicious – you’ll find this Portobello Burger with Pesto, Provolone and Roasted Red Peppers. A grilled portobello mushroom covered in melted provolone, topped with slices of roasted red pepper and arugula (or spinach, in my case), sandwiched in a grilled bun slathered with pesto mayonnaise. Or lightly spread with pesto mayo. Or just pesto. I’m not here to judge you." - Anna Haro from Bookmarklet

That sounds so good! - Trish R

Wow, this sounds fantastic! - rowlikeagirl

"this is a huge hit among my friends...it's delicious, warm and very easy to make. (of course, you can watch rwv episode #3 to learn how to make it, but i thought i'd share it here as well since it seems to be so popular). throw in some homemade chips (store bought are SO 1990) a little jazzed up sour "cream", and you've got yourself something to celebrate! (ok, that might be pushing it a little...but it IS damn good)" - Trent Olson from Bookmarklet

Wow, yummers! - rowlikeagirl

cool site! thanx for sharing :=) - 'Like' robot (frɐnc)

Wow this looks very funky, it's a shame you can't buy dragon fruit over here... - AgentRouge
