Squash Italian Bake

Use a peeler to peel green and yellow squash into strips.

Rinse and saute with some olive oil and season with oregano, basil, thyme, pepper and salt

Make pasta sauce (blend in sun-dried tomatoes)

Toss together.

Add Italian Sausage if desired.

Also may top with cheese and bake.

Breakfast Wraps

Killer breakfast wraps include:

Tofu, spinach and egg w/ goat cheese or feta (watch the liquid on this- can get too wet for micro so dry everything.)

Black Beans, Chipotle sauce, Egg and Cheese

Sundried tomato, Egg whites and brie

Make a bunch ahead and freeze for easy microwave breakfast.

Curry Tuna Sandwiches

Add curry powder, pepper, mayo and raisins to canned tuna.

May also add apples along with or instead of raisins.

Make sandwich or wrap.

Turkey, Brie and Apple Sandiwches

Use turkey or fake turkey

Spread some brown mustard on one side and honey on the other for the bread

Add sliced apples, turkey, and cheese (brie works great so so does aged cheddar or gouda)

Toast if desired.

Crab Salad Sandwiches

If you're feeling rich mix real and fake krab. Feling poor all krab is fine.

Chop krab into medium to small pieces.

Using a mixing bowl mix krab with some lemon, olive oil mayo, pepper, salt and old bay

Add chopped water-chestnuts for some crunch

Serve as a sandwich or wrap with tomato and lettuce.

Palak Paneer (or Tofu)

Saute a bag (or 1/2 bag) of frozen spinach with a stick of butter

Add Garlic, Chili flakes, coriander-cumin or Indian pre-mixed seasoning, and some cream.

Let simmer

Drain tofu and cut into sticks.

Bake or brown on the stove just to remove some of the moisture. Should stay soft for this recipe.

Toss together and serve with Naan or Parathas.

BBQ Beef w/ Spicy Corn

Veg Farms beef chunks work best. Or real beef for others.

Saute beef chunks with chopped onion.

In another small pot add small amount of tomato paste or sauce, and bbq-

brown sugar
cayanne
smoked paprika
garlic
worcestershire sauce

Toss sauce mix with browned beef. May serve as a sandwich.

Meanwhile wrap clean corn cobs in tin foil with a pad of butter, spicy salt mix and garlic. A slice of lime in there works well too.

Bake in oven for about 15-20 minutes
