Marinated Portobello Mushrooms A healthy start to the New Year means eating the best of fresh seasonal vegetables and discovering unique yet simple ways to prepare foods that entice throughout the year. In the winter when your vitamin and mineral supply gets depleted, this dish replenishes your body's needs. Comforting and warming, the mushrooms impart a robust flavour and the essence of the marinade in a fresh new taste.
Green Bean Casserole Green beans have lots of vitamin A and potassium, which is needed to keep your heart on the road to good health. You can also make this recipe using carrots instead of beans--they're also full of vitamin A. Serve with mashed potatoes and a crisp green salad.
Instant Sauerkraut with Black Bean and Pineapple Don't insult a cabbage or it will turn sour! There's a more civil way of making instant sauerkraut and when combined with black beans and pineapple it makes a refreshing, tangy salad.
Wheat Berry Casserole with Cherries Wheat seeds or berries are chewy when cooked and can be served either as a side dish like rice or as a main dish. This casserole makes an interesting and satisfying evening meal when accompanied by a leafy green salad.
Beach Blanket Veggie Balls Veggie balls are great appetizers. To make playful shish kebabs, alternate veggie balls with grape or cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. Serve with a spicy sauce or relish.
Another variation is veggie burgers. Form patties from the dough instead of balls and gently sauté in coconut butter. Serve hot with a horseradish gravy, stuffed or double-baked potatoes ("potatoes in jackets") and a leafy green salad.
