Green Beans With Walnut-Miso Sauce

Though higher in fat than most of our recipes, this delicious side dish is a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Serve with your favorite vegetarian sushi.

Harvest Mexican Squash

Here’s a recipe I adapted for e2L from a cookbook that I used to love when I first started cooking vegetarian called Beyond the Moon Cookbook by Ginny Callan. It is a book that is quite heavy on the dairy products, so I don’t use it much nowadays.
