01 Feb 2023: Smoky Sweet Potato and Black Bean Casserole

There are moments when I wish I had the foresight to set up my gear so that I could photograph the hot food right out of the oven. The image from this recipe would have been high on my list of could-a, should-a photography. Delicious as a left-over, when the original casserole, which was created…

11 October 2022: Moosewood’s Mexican Pepper Casserole

Sometimes the Fall rollercoaster gets the best of me, but last night I hopped off and opened up my trusty and well-loved 1977 edition of the Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen for a little cuisine inspiration. As usual, it was right there for the taking. The spicy mixture of sauteed sweet peppers, onions and garlic…

18 August 2022: Spinach Casserole with Thyme

From the time we were first married, Adrien and I had a Boston Globe newspaper (print edition) delivered to our home. While we no longer subscribe to the Globe for a variety of reasons, when we did, I used to look forward to each Wednesday because of the Food focus. Unfortunately I cannot give credit…

21 Feb. 2022: Arabian Squash-Cheese Casserole

It’s Monday and time for the #Moosewood2022 challenge! This recipe comes right from the original Moosewood Cookbook, one we purchased in 1978.

Adapted from MeatlessMonday.com. Sweet potato shepherd’s pie. Downloaded from the web on Feb. 19, 2011.

26 Feb 2011 Mexican Bean and Tortilla Pie

Adapted from Weight Watchers. Mexican bean and tortilla pie. (subscription only). Downloaded from the web on Feb. 19, 2011. My comment: The servicing size – 1/6 of a 6 inch tortilla is really small! Better have some veggies or a salad on the side.  However, it was a tasty and quick dish — be sure…

Adapted from Ford, M.W., Hillyard, S., and Koock, M.F. The Deaf Smith country cookbook. (1973). New York: Collier (division of MacMillan). p 150. My Comment:  Long ago, Adrien and I read and ate from Vegetarian classics like Diet for a Small Planet, The Vegetarian Epicure, and this classic cookbook. This tidbit either proves that we…
