http://allrecipes.com/recipe/103088/wisconsin-five-cheese-bake/ We made this the other night for my choir’s meeting and potluck. It smelled really good while it was baking, and my spouse remarked how, especially with the 3 Italian cheeses, parsley, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt, this was very much an Italian mac & cheese. At the potluck, there was a wide variety… Continue reading Wisconsin Five-Cheese Bake

Channa Masala
(http://www.haggisandherring.com/2009/04/channa-masala.html)The one ingredient here that is not usually available in supermarkets is the garam masala, which is a mixture of ground spices that warms the one who eats it, and means literally “warming mixture”. I bought my most recent bottle of garam masala at a inconveniently-located health-food store; when I ran out, I mixed my own… Continue reading Channa Masala

Swiss Steak
The recipe is my variation from Fix-It and Forget-It Diabetic Cookbook, page 13. The only difference, really, was to increase the amount of meat in the dish, and using top round London broil rather than round steak, which is from the bottom round . The ideal slow-cooker size: 6 quart. 3 – 4 tablespoons flour1… Continue reading Swiss Steak
Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin (food.com)
Our whole family loves this recipe, partly because we had grown tired of making spaghetti squash as a vehicle for Italian pasta sauce. Which is perfectly good – we just got stuck in a rut. You can find the original recipe on food.com, thanks to contributor Taylor’s Mommy. Mine only differs in using plain yogurt… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin (food.com)
The Way of the Frugal Gourmand, or Roasted Tofu and Vegetables
The original recipe, posted to SparkPeople by user TBSCHOEN, is intended to serve 4. The recipe contains half of a sweet potato and half of a butternut squash.

We both ordered “Apple Cheese Crisp”, and for both of us it was like, “Where have you been all my life, Apple Cheese… Continue reading Apple Crisp (The Vegetarian Epicure)
