Dressed simply with a good fruity olive oil and fresh lemon juice, this light, colorful pasta salad makes a delicious light lunch or side dish. Make it a complete meal by adding your favorite protein, like some grilled chicken, chunks of roast turkey, cooked shrimp, strips of leftover steak or even grilled tofu
Spinach and Eggplant No-Noodle Lasagna
Nobody will miss the noodles in this delicious layering of sliced eggplant, marinara and spinach combined with creamy ricotta cheese. It’s hearty enough to be an entrée, but it also makes a terrific side dish served with roast beef, pork, poultry or fish. For variety, you can substitute any tomato-based pasta sauce for the marinara.
Organic Arugula and Roasted Beet Salad with Walnuts and Feta Cheese
This salad showcases the vibrant colors and concentrated earthy sweetness of roasted beets together with fresh organic baby greens and the delightful contrasts of fruit, cheese and nuts — a combination sure to leave you wanting more!
Here on the Central Coast of California, we’re lucky to have perfect conditions for baby beets to thrive year-round; but don’t worry if you can’t find baby beets, larger ones will do just fine.
Blood oranges are spectacular in this salad, but if they’re not available, don’t hesitate to make it with any oranges you like. The sweet acidity of the oranges sets up a delicious contrast with smooth white feta and crunchy nuts. This recipe is flexible enough to make great use of what you have on hand; fresh goat cheese works as nicely as the feta, and you can easily substitute organic spring mix for the organic arugula.
Savory Bread Pudding with Spinach, Gruyère and Shiitakes
Puffed and golden, this savory bread pudding emerges from the oven with the earthy perfume of shiitake mushrooms.
Served with fresh fruit and slices of bacon or ham, it’s a delicious centerpiece for a brunch buffet. It also performs double duty as an elegant side dish for a rib roast or steak. If you happen to have leftovers, they reheat well in the microwave.
