A MUSHROOM & ONION SAUTÉ served on Multigrain Seed Toast is a savory change for breakfast. – Recipe: White mushrooms sliced and sautéed in olive oil and after they have transitioned to a soft texture with a brown shiny appearance, add a splash of good white wine and continue cooking until the liquid is mostly […]

OVEN BAKED POTATO with STEAMED VEGETABLES & CHEESE – This Vegetarian “Jacket Potato” is delicious and healthy. Eliminate the dairy and it is a Vegan Meal. I use olive oil and sea salt to coat the potato before baking it on a tray in the oven @ 400* F for one hour. Sometimes I wrap […]
