World Vegetarian Day, a nice day to try something a little different, don’t you think?
I tried years ago to go totally vegetarian, but realized I like fleshy foods. The experiment wasn’t a failure because I also realized that I can enjoy a number of weekly meals without meat. Our favorite foody here on the KDFC Morning Show, cookbook author Geraldine Duncann from Sonoma County, emailed some nice suggestions for tonight’s meal. She writes…
“How about a dinner consisting of:
Fresh Heirloom Tomato and Basil Soup
Fresh Corn on the Cob – (don’t cook the be-jusus out of it – 3 minutes in boiling water tops, and try olive oil instead of butter)
Fresh Green Beans with Slivered Almonds – (in a sauce of Sweet and Hot Mustard and Cream Sherry)
Medley of Fresh Summer Squash
Green Garlic Toast – (make with butter blended with lots of garlic and finely minced fresh basil)
Fresh Melon and Berries for Dessert
or
Salad of Fresh Heirloom Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Olives, Basil and Garlic
Pasta al Fresca – (pasta with lightly cooked tomatoes, onions, garlic, basil, and zucchini)
Fresh Baguette
Dessert – Fresh Plum Crumble”
Sounds yummy to me! Find out about Geraldine through her blog
Bon appetit,

Whenever my sister Mary wants to support a cause she goes on her Rice and Bean Diet and sends the money she saves by only eating rice and beans to the cause she is supporting. First, it was for Katrina, then Obama’s campaign and now she’s on it again for Haiti. Last year she put together a cookbook for us containing her favorite rice and bean recipes-evrything from gallo pinto to lentil salad to red kidney beans (Rajma) to Jamaican rice and peas. She is a wonderful cook so the recipes are quite palatable. Joy
