Spicy Black Bean Quinoa Burgers

These Spicy Black Bean Quinoa Burgers are well worth the effort. These high-fiber, plant protein burgers are nestled on a kale salad with roasted chickpeas. I have to say, they are delicious. A high-fiber diet lowers your risk for colon cancer.

Caprese Omelette

Caprese Omelette

Caprese Salad in Italian: Insalata Caprese, meaning "Salad of Capri", is a simple Italian salad, made of sliced fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, seasoned with salt, and olive oil. It was made to resemble the colors of the Italian flag: red, white, and green. In Italy, it is usually served as an antipasto (starter). Using the same ingredients, I made this Caprese Omelette for breakfast.

Gin Flambéed Olives

Gin Flambéed Olives

Proceed with caution!
I would suggest making these Gin Flambéed Olives outside! These are very good, if you like olives, though I would urge you to invite a firefighter to your party!

Fagioli Al Uccelletto “Tuscan Baked Beans”

These are the beans I served with the Italian-Style Slow-Roasted Pork Roast with Oranges & Onions . They go perfectly with it. You can use canned beans instead of soaking the beans overnight, if you want to make it easier. These beans are a typical dish from Tuscany, particularly in the Florence area.

Salmon Burgers

A friend of mine gave me a very nice piece salmon and this recipe for salmon burgers. They were SO good, I will be making them again. If you want to pack as many nutrients as possible into one meal, salmon is a good choice.

Broccoflower with Garlic, Balsamic, Basil & Parmesan

Broccoflower with Garlic, Balsamic, Basil & Parmesan

This Broccoflower with Garlic, Balsamic, Basil & Parmesan is a vibrantly colored side dish. Broccoflower is a cross between broccoli and cauliflower, two vegetables that are actually so closely related that they can be easily cross-pollinated. One type of broccoflower looks just like white cauliflower, but is lime-green in color.

French Onion Spaghetti Pie

For my vegetarian friends, here is a French Onion Spaghetti Pie, which is a quick and easy weeknight meal. I did not have any Gruyère cheese on hand, so I used cheddar and Monterey jack.
