Hearty Vegetable Lasagna - YUM!

This Veggie lasagna is VERY, VERY, VERY good!! I was skeptical at first because I really like my meaty lasagna, but with the mushrooms and the veggies,  I didn't even miss the meat! This is a super hearty version that I will definitely make again and again! If you add some spinach to the ricotta cheese, it makes it even better! 

Creamy Avocado & White Bean Wrap

White beans mashed with ripe avocado and blended with sharp Cheddar and onion makes an incredibly rich, flavorful filling for this wrap. The tangy, spicy slaw adds crunch. A pinch (or more) of ground chipotle pepper and an extra dash of cider vinegar can be used in place of the canned chipotles in adobo sauce.  These would be great served with my Black Bean Salad and Homemade Tortilla chips.

Devil-icious Egg White Salad

This super-creamy salad is lighter in labor AND lower in fat than traditional deviled eggs... Weeee! 

Portobello Pockets

Oh Lord!! This is Heaven in a Pita!! I absolutely LOVE Portobello mushrooms! They are so meaty and rich, you don't even miss the "meat" in these!  After 30 minutes of prep time and marinating these overnight, Tomorrow's lunch will be fantastic! And to make it even better.... You can have TWO of these bad boys for only 272 calories!

Henri's French Onion Soup (Vegetarian Style)

French Onion Soup has to be my FAVORITE soup in the world and whoever Henri is, we need to thank him for this FANTASTIC recipe!! Although it is a Vegetarian recipe, you CANNOT tell!! You still get all the great flavor as if you did use a meat based stock. So If you're having company over, double or triple this recipe because it only serves 6 which means ALL MINE!! 

Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Herbs

Using Spaghetti Squash is a great alternative to using Pasta and / or potatoes.  Especially if you are on a low carb diet, which most of us are. Its so flavorful and hearty, you don't feel like your "missing out" on all the other goodies that we can't have. 

Baked Parmesan Tomatoes

If you can't tell, I've been on a Parmesan Cheese kick lately..I can't help it, I'm a HUGE cheese fan and being on a diet, it isn't easy giving it up. I've noticed that when I use the parmesan cheese, a little goes a long way. I just need to be able to taste it!! 

Zucchini Cakes

 These are one of those hearty comfort food items that I just cannot live with out!

WOW! Is about all I can say about this dish! This looks so fabulous, I can't wait to try it! I saw it on another woman's blog and I had to share it with you all. I will make this over the next few days and let you know how it is. I love all the ingredients so I can't imagine me NOT liking it! It looks like it could be used in a variety of ways. It could be served with chicken or pork, scooped up with tortilla chips, or eaten atop greens.
