Recipes and thoughtful advice from a seasoned cook and baker who loves teaching others how vegetarian food can be deliciously satisfying.http://www.susanina.com Subscribe with My Yahoo!Subscribe with NewsGatorSubscribe with My AOLSubscribe with BloglinesSubscribe with Google We really enjoy these sandwiches. Even if you think you don't like sauerkraut, you might like to try them, as my husband did. We find these to be a wonderful cold-weather supper, accompanied by Apple Salad. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1110 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1110 2010-02-18T21:19:45-00:00 Boiling the egg is what takes the most time, and the taste is worth every moment waiting for it to cook. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1109 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1109 2010-02-18T20:46:30-00:00 My husband's dad introduced me to this new way of grilling cheese on bread. The ingredients are straightforward. The process takes a little practice. Even if they don't come out looking just right the first time (or second or third ...), they'll be delicious. The cheese toasts are a wonderful accompaniment to soup. They would also work well with a simple tossed salad and a side dish of some kind of fruit. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1108 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1108 2010-02-18T20:12:53-00:00 This is a wonderful dish if you're in a hurry, hungry, and want to have something that's a combination of tasty and light, and filling ... especially if you want something tasty! http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1107 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1107 2009-11-12T13:32:24-00:00 Try this recipe when your bananas are beyond ripe. Last night a "last ditch" effort to use our blackened bananas turned into a delicious dessert topping. I have also used this preparation method with peaches and strawberries successfully. I was very pleasantly surprised that the banana version is as tasty as can be. This topping would also be delicious with pancakes or waffles. The recipe ingredient amounts can be easily increased, as fits your need. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1106 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1106 2009-09-05T11:16:36-00:00 This is a staple side dish in our home. It's worlds away from the store-prepared kind, at least the ones I've tried, although I do remember trying one of those that I thought was quite good. I think it may be that freshness is very important. Sometimes cole slaw keeps well, and sometimes, it doesn't. I'm not quite sure what makes the difference. Anyway, you'll find it's quite easy to prepare and worth the not-so-great-effort required. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1105 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1105 2009-08-31T17:52:24-00:00 These are some wonderful sandwiches. They're good both simply grilled, or French-toasted. I've learned that it works best to choose either the mustard option or the bacon. Using both mustard and bacon together sort of cancels out the taste of each. An excellent accompaniment with these sandwiches is cole slaw, and for my husband, always some good potato chips. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1104 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1104 2009-08-31T16:09:50-00:00 These are a delicious version of a very popular brownie. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1103 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1103 2009-08-31T13:24:54-00:00 This is a simple all-purpose dough that we use for baguettes, and also pizza and calzone. The recipe also makes wonderful rolls that freeze well. The rolls come out of the freezer and go into a 375 degree oven on an ungreased pan for 15 minutes and are almost better than when first baked. Note the simple ingredient list. While the instructions are lengthy, the process is really quite speedy. I can mix this dough up within about five minutes. I specified fifteen minutes for prep time to allow for becoming familiar with a new recipe. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1102 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1102 2009-08-26T14:49:01-00:00 We made these calzones last night and enjoyed them so much. The recipe must be shared immediately! This recipe is based on a recipe from The Boston Globe Magazine. The ingredients and the process are a little different. The preparation time listed does not take into account the time needed for preparing the dough so that it's ready for the final preparation of the filling and calzone production. Note the decreased ingredient amounts under the "Baguettes plus" recipe when making calzones. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1101 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1101 2009-08-25T10:02:10-00:00 This is a fresh tasting baked pasta, even though it's baked. It's a dish that's easy to prepare and special to serve, a good company meal when speedy preparation is needed. Another plus: there aren't too many ingredients. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1100 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1100 2009-08-20T17:20:56-00:00 Son, Stephen, and friend were preparing a somewhat impromptu breakfast one morning. What they prepared is well worth repeating. This simple recipe produces delicious results. The ingredients are few and easily found. It's the process that's important. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1099 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1099 2009-06-03T14:35:19-00:00 This is an indispensable dish in our home. We enjoy this salad especially with simple steamed white rice. We like the medium grained variety of rice. Try it with this salad and you can be sure of a very satisfying and delicious meal. I owe this recipe to one of my sisters-in-law to whom I feel a debt of gratitude every time I prepare the salad. This is an unusual combination of ingredients that work together perfectly. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1098 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1098 2008-06-26T10:34:48-00:00 These are almost like little mounds of cake. We have had them with strawberries and whipped cream as an alternative to biscuits for shortcake. These would also make delicious "Reverse Whoopie Pies" stacking two together with chocolate ganache. Another excellent combination would be to make a "sandwich" with hazelnut mousseline buttercream. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1097 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1097 2008-06-22T21:52:18-00:00 This is such a complete, yummy, salad in its vegetarian version. It makes an excellent summer meal, especially when fresh sweet corn is available. Consider adding grilled portabello mushrooms, cut into one-quarter or one-half inch strips. Or vegetarian bacon strips, perhaps 4 broken into large pieces (the Morningstar Farms brand is a great choice). The optionals and additions are well worth including! http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1096 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1096 2008-06-17T17:35:34-00:00 It's taken too long to get this wonderful recipe on our site. I think it's at least as good as meatloaf and far more fun to prepare and enjoy. As a leftover, it makes wonderful sandwiches. The end-product is well worth the considerable measuring and general preparation (although once you prepare the ingredients, it's a quick mix). We enjoy meatless loaf as the focal point of a real "comfort meal" with small potatoes baked right along with the loaf, and then perhaps something simple like string beans and carrots, freshly prepared and cooked as separate components. It's a bit of a throwback to the 1950s. Pass the ketchup. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1095 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1095 2008-04-30T14:21:58-00:00 This recipe came about as a result of surveying the refrigerator for ingredients in an effort to come up with something tasty for supper. We enjoyed the result that evening and many times since. A wonderful combination with this dish is white rice and a cup of tea. The white rice picks up the subtle flavors deliciously. Don't be fooled by the simplicity here. The particular vegetable mixture and seasoning are very special. You can certainly experiment with different proportions. This makes enough for two as a main dish and for four as a generous side dish. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1094 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1094 2008-04-12T22:00:00-00:00 There's more to these than cream cheese and bacon. Even though a simple recipe, the combination of ingredients is a little unusual, and too tasty to keep a secret. This recipe makes two sandwiches. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1093 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1093 2008-04-12T21:00:00-00:00 This is a complete salad. That is, all you need to add for a very satisfying meal is a tossed leafy salad and some good crusty bread. The method used here produces a distinct, yet subtle flavored salad without being "overdressed." http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1092 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1092 2007-10-01T00:00:00-00:00 Finding the tart cherries needed for this pie may be the most difficult part of preparing it. I normally use three 14-ounce cans of tart cherries. This pie is a great favorite of many family members. http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1091 http://www.susanina.com/recipes.cfm?recipeid=1091 2006-11-18T21:02:07-00:00
