This was a staple in our home growing up. I would tweak this with “Impossible meat” or 2-3 Beyond burger patties chopped up and browned. It feeds a family of 5 and even my picky brothers loved it. My daughters also grew up on this dish so it transcends the generations. CHEESEY MASHED POTATOES FOR…

ZUCCHINI CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
My daughter sent me this recipe about a month ago and so many things were happening on the home front, I didn’t take time to look it over, let alone make it. It’s YUMMY!!! The recipe can easily be tweaked for non-dairy or vegan. I’ll write up the recipe the way it came to me…
SHRIMP, MANDARIN ORANGE, SPINACH, PASTA SALAD

SPAGHETTI PUTTANESCA

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER TACO W/ BROCCOLI-MANGO SLAW AND CILANTRO SAUCE
