Can someone come up with a good vegetarian meal or two? thanks any help would be appreciated!?!
Answers:
One of my favorites is black beans and rice!. There's no ham hock or chicken stock or anything in it!. Just veggies, beans, rice, vineagar, and hot sauce!. Can be put in a veggie tortilla with veggie cheese!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'll give you two of my favorite, easiest pasta dishes - neither sauce has to be cooked - just let the sauce sit & the toss with hot pasta! Serve either with a nice tossed salad and some whole wheat dinner rolls!
Linguine with Fresh Tomato Sauce
2 cups seeded, and coarsely chopped tomato
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup firmly packed fresh basil leaves, minced
1 cup firmly packed fresh parsley leaves, minced
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
3 garlic cloves, or to taste, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 pound linguine
Fresh parsley to garnish
Make tomato sauce:
In a bowl combine well all the sauce ingredients and let the sauce stand at room temperature, covered, for at least 1 hour!.
In large pot, bring 5 quarts of salted water to a boil!. Add linguine and stir to prevent sticking!. Return water to boil and cook until pasta is firm but cooked, approximately 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally!. Drain pasta well!. Serve with tomato sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley!.
Lemon Spaghetti
1 pound spaghetti
2/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes!. Meanwhile, whisk the oil, Parmesan, and lemon juice in a large bowl to blend!.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid!. Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, and the reserved cooking liquid, adding 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten!. Season with salt and pepper!. Garnish with lemon zest and chopped basil!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know my chili and corn cake is worthy of applause!. We had it last night and it was the best!. I came up with it myself and it's the best thing I ever thought of or made!.
The ingredients are 1 bag of Boca ground, 1 large can of crushed tomatoes, 1 can of chili magic, a chichi's corn cake packet and a can of cream corn!.
In a large pot, combine all the ingredients except for the corn and the corn cake mix!. Heat until boiling and let it boil for like 8 minutes and it's ready!.
Follow the directions on the corn cake mix and heat it in the oven!. It's better to start the cake first because it takes a lot longer!. You can time it out right after practicing though!.
When both items are done, fill a bowl with half corn cake and half chili!. Take a little corn bread and a little chili with each bite!. Trust me, you can't go wrong with this recipe!.
It's completely cruelty free, and it only costs about 11!.50 to make it!. It serves 4 people with too much and probably 6 if you eat normal portions!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
