This is really very good and quick to make.

I usually make a double batch of these and freeze the leftovers. They reheat in the microwave within minutes. I’ve even made these in the microwave on High for about 20 minutes. Since everyone’s oven is different, yours may take less or more time than mine. Since it’s going up to 90 today, that’s probably how I’ll make this batch.

3/4 cup light vegetable broth
1/4 cup natural peanut butter…

1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup cauliflower pieces…

Here’s a recipe that’s similar to Greek green beans, without all the oil:

This is a perversion of Mirza Ghassemi, a middle eastern dish. A very satisfying fatfree meal!

This side dish is a must at holiday dinners.

My husband saved this for the end of his meal because he thought it tasted like dessert!

1 lb. bok choy
1 tbs. white wine vinegar…

1 lg Purple eggplant (skin texture should be firm)
1 md Onion, chopped…

I have a recipe for a great sweet side dish my Norwegian Grandma makes frequently called Frukt Suppe (fruit soup). It is perfect for holidays and cold evenings.

This one is great. I like that you roast the tomatoes first, which gives the dish a nice roasted/smokey flavor. The original called for some feta cheese on top, so you could perhaps sub soy cheese if you want.

This is a great dish for when you don’t want any extra calories and a splurge for the artichoke hearts fits into your budget.

2 tomatoes, one diced and one halved and thinly sliced
2 9 oz. packages frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and chopped…

This spicy spinach sauce is so good I could probably eat it on its own and be perfectly happy, but the potatoes make it a little more substantial — serve it with basmati rice or pita bread and you have yourself a simple but filling meal.
