I recently came home from spending a month in the hospital, I can tell you that the meals were sorely lacking in fresh veggies and fruits!. When I asked for fresh fruit I was always given a small apple, sometimes maybe orange pieces in a strange-tasting syrup!. Anyhow, for your menu hopefully you're considering a variety of salads!. Maybe also a spinach quiche or Florentine crepes!. If you need other vegetarian ideas how about a lentil or bean soup, felafel wraps with hummus and tabouli, Veggie burgers, black bean chili, ,mushroom ravioli, pesto tortellini!. If you want something more unusual check out the menus at your local Mediterranean or Lebanese restaurants!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That or a Google search in general tells you how to mix up the mix part of sloppy joes!.
I've made this quite delicious dish with couscous, zucchini, raisins, slivered almonds (it actually calls for pine nuts but you can't find them around here), cumin seed, extra virgin olive oil!. garbanzo beans, green olives, and some other spices!. Sadly I cannot find the recipe book right now but I did try and find the exact recipe!. This one is similar but with fewer ingredients but you could modify where necessary!. http://www!.cooks!.com/rec/doc/0,1850,1481!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
