Black and Bleu Chicken Alfredo
Did a semi-vegetarian take on this recipe (scaled for two); Substituted a 10 oz. can of Companion brand braised gluten (seitan tidbits-available from Asian markets) for the chicken, which sauteed a little while in the pan, after the tomato simmered with some garlic and yellow onion in EVOO, and I put 1/3 cup of real blue cheese crumbles in with the alfredo sauce. I sprinkled the final dish with some black pepper from a mill. It lay on a bed of multi-shaped Wacky-Mac tri-colore pasta I had. I enjoyed it on a winter's night.

Ginger-Cabbage Salad
I made as is, plus sprinkled generously Roland brand Ginger Oil (found in the International section of some supermarkets) over the final product. This made it so much better, as it balanced out the rice wine/mirin/chardonnay(if u don't have mirin on hand). The nuts are a must.

Creole Okra
For folks who think or have read that okra is too slimey to enjoy- try this recipe! I found this recipe delicious, a snap to make, and it's really healthy. I used a can of real Italian cherry tomatoes, fresh thyme, and added a bit more garlic, and it was wonderful. Okra-phobes, you won't regret trying this!
