Vegetarian Stuffed Mushroom

A delicious low calorie, low fat appetizer that can also be served as part of a main meal.

Vegetarian Baked Beans

Although this excellent baked bean dish requires quite a bit of time (several hours for soaking the beans and for baking), the effort is minimal and the result is worth the wait.

Light and Healthy Spinach Lasagna

As a really delicious alternative to traditional meat-filled lasagna, this light vegetarian version is low in saturated fat. Substitute two egg whites for the whole egg to cut the level of saturated fat and cholesterol even further.

Creamed Peas and Potatoes

Two vegetable favorites are combined in this creamy dish that can be enjoyed as an accompaniment for roasted meat or as a hearty, vegetarian main meal.

Oven Baked Vegetables

Easy and great tasting, oven baked vegetables provide an enjoyable side dish for meats, poultry or any type of vegetarian menu.

Oven Roasted Ratatouille

Traditional ratatuille requires browning each vegetable separately to develop individual flavors, then combining them for further cooking to blend the flavors. This method, while not necessarily quicker, is less work. Quantities and proportions can be varied to suit personal preferences and seasonal availability. Serves 4 as a vegetarian entrée, more if used as a side dish. Be sure to use shallow pans so the vegetables roast rather than steam.

Carrot Slaw

Golden carrots for color, crunch and all-around goodness, enhanced with the sweetness of raisins and the saltiness of sunflower seeds.

Five Minute Chickpea Salad

This colorful and nuitritious salad can be ready in a flash if you use left-over rice. If you need to prepare the rice, it will take about 20 minutes longer. Use as a side salad for four or as a main dish for two. Chickpeas, also called garbonzo beans, are a good protein source, but you can increase the protein level by adding cooked meat, diced or crumbled cheese or nuts such as walnuts, almonds or peanuts. Be creative! Exact proportions aren't critical.
