Filed under: Recipes – Main Dish
I found this recipe on All Recipes. I didn’t change it too much, but I didn’t use their measurements – I just eyeballed it.
Fresh Ingredients
1/2 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 cups water
1 tomato, chopped
1 cup baby spinach
PantryFare
1 cup quinoa
Spices and Oils
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons vegetarian chicken-flavored bouillon granules
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat; cook and stir the onion in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat, stir in quinoa, and toast, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in the water, bouillon granules, black pepper, and thyme; raise heat to high and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the carrots. Cover and simmer until all water is absorbed, about 10 more minutes. Turn off the heat, add the tomatoes and spinach, and stir until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes have given off their moisture, about 2 minutes.

1 large acorn squash
4 tbsp diced dried apricots
2 tbsp chopped raw cashews
1 (15 oz) can of unsweetened, crushed pineapple, juice reserved
2 tbsp raisins
cinnamon
coriander
Cut squash in half, remove seeds, and bake face down in 1/2 inch of water for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Cover the apricots in a bowl with some of the pineapple juice. On top, add the pineapple, raisins, and cashews, cinnamon and coriander. Let stand and soak while the squash is cooking. After the squash has cooked, mix up the fruit in the bowl and scoop it into the squash’s center. Cover with aluminum foil and bake an additional 30 minutes. (Optional: Sprinkle with cinnamon and put back in the oven for 5 more minutes).

Naan Pizza
There’s not much to say about this except it’s easy, easy, easy! Perhaps not on an “Approved Eating” list because of the crust but if you control your portion to 1/2 of the pizza then it can’t really hurt you.
Start with naan or Boboli crust, lightly spread pesto sauce or red sauce on the base. Top with a light sprinkle of mozzarella, chopped spinach, sliced mushrooms, olives, and tomatoes. Season to taste.
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes to melt cheese and warm the crust.
