Health for Life Cooking in February

Egg Plant Roll Ups
All the flavors of lasagna but no noodles. The eggplant is baked to perfect tenderness and rolled up around a delicious mixture of onion, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, tofu and spinach. Topped with a home made spaghetti sauce.





Greens and Grains

This original recipe, called "Pasta with Greens" from Andrew Weil, used a whole grain pasta. This was one of my husbands favorite dishes. In my quest to use only whole, intact grains, I'm using quinoa, which is a very light high protein grain that works perfect in place of pasta. It is mixed with a tasty combination of sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, kale, olives, and capers.
