This recipe, adapted from Rick’s book On Rice, makes an almost instant vegetarian dinner. It is great spooned over basmati rice.

This one is very easy to make, and is easy to make ahead, which is good for families. I use brown rice, so I let it cook a while longer so that it would be done (about an hour).

3/4 cup brown rice — (uncooked)
non-stick cooking spray
2 cloves garlic — minced…

3 TBS sherry (or water or stock)
1 medium onion, chopped…

Here’s a recipe that’s great for cooking on the barbeque grill, but it can also be done in an oven (20-30 minutes at 350 degrees). It has almost no fat and is appropriate for the McDougall Maximum Weight Loss and Fuhrman Eat to Live Programs.

Oriental foods and flavors combine with black-eyed peas in this sesame-accented main course.

This recipe is a life-saver on the Eat to Live program. You can eat it for any meal and you can eat as much of it as you want! It’s delicious.

The fresh herbs really give the salad its pizzazz, so try to find some if you don’t grow your own.

2 medium zucchini, sliced…
