Meatless Monday: Fried Rice

Meatless Monday: Golden Winter Soup
It's fall now, so that means lots of soup and chili for me and Gene. Gulping down something warm and liquid-y is just so comforting in this cold weather time. I love it. My mom gave me the recipe below. Gene and I made it last year with different squash (we couldn't find a butternut).…

You can eat it without any other side dishes, although I highly suggest having some garlic bread with it (I mean, who doesn't like garlic bread?). Some carrots with ranch might not have been a bad side dish…

The original recipe for this dish I got from the Food Network website. However, Gene and I have tweaked it a bit so it's no longer exactly the same. Below is our version of it: Vegetable Pot Pie Total time: about an hour 1 tablespoon butter 1 medium onion, finely chopped 3 or 4 medium…
Meatless Mondays: Vegetarian Taco Salad
As some of you know, Gene and I are trying to be weekday vegetarians again. I think it's a great idea because we save money, eat more veggies, try out new recipes, and help reduce the meat consumption of the U.S. I know it's hard for many to cut out meat completely, or even cut…
