      <image:caption>A few years ago, I was a visiting art education professor at Leon University, in Mexico for two weeks. The President of the University often took me to dinner. Since I don’t eat meat, it was a challenge to choose food from the menu. Even the rice and beans were made with lard. There was always guacamole, and I never tired of it! No fresh chili peppers? The ones in a jar are fine too.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Healthy Stuffed Mushrooms</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many years ago, there were only a few good NYC vegetarian restaurants. Whole Wheat and Wild Berry was one of my favorites. The owners often shared recipes with customers including one for a Stuffed Mushroom appetizer. I was inspired to adapt their recipe and use wheat germ instead of breadcrumbs. I hope you enjoy this tasty twist. In a pinch: If you are out of wheat germ, breadcrumbs will work. Cilantro can be substituted for fresh parsley.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Herbal Lentil Soup</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a lifelong New Yorker, I’m never ready to move out of a Summer mindset, where bathing suits, straw hats, and sandals are outfits of the day, and shift into Fall and Winter’s chilly weather, with the requisite insulated pants, fleece lined beanies and snow boots. While I’d prefer cucumber salad and iced chai for at least a few more months, I inevitably remember the following lines in Pete Seeger’s Turn! Turn! Turn! To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose, under Heaven. The song and this recipe remind me that it’s OK to welcome the turning of seasons from Summer into Autumn, and then Autumn into Winter with a delicious bowl of lentil soup! In a pinch: No fresh parsley? Use 2 Tablespoons dried parsley.</image:caption>

This crustless version is light and delicious! In a pinch: No broccoli? Substitute tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, kale, or almost any green vegetable. Bon appétit!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Radish Salad</image:title>
      <image:caption>Growing up, salad often consisted of iceberg lettuce, a couple of slices of tasteless tomatoes that came out of a plastic container, with a spoonful of mayonnaise. In my teens, I started to cook and discovered vegetables like Romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, and radishes! Radishes were never my favorite. I didn't include them in recipes. However, this Radish Salad puts radishes in the spotlight! Their crunchy, spicy flavor seems to shine through the other ingredients! Great on a summer day or a picnic! In a pinch: No apple cider vinegar? Use white vinegar instead</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hummus</image:title>
      <image:caption>I love hummus! Packaged hummus always tastes a bit sour or too sweet to me. That’s because citric acid and sugar are often used in the ingredients. This Middle Eastern homemade hummus recipe tastes better than any commercially made hummus I’ve ever had. It can be scooped onto a piece of toasted pita bread, crackers and vegetable sticks. It also works well as a sandwich spread. In a pinch: No time (or desire) to soak and cook chickpeas? Use 4 cups of canned instead. Rinse well and drain. Follow the rest of the recipe.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Creamy Raw Carrot Soup</image:title>
      <image:caption>This delicious raw carrot soup is quick and easy!! It’s ready in 5 minutes. Serve warm or cold. Makes a good sauce or when combined with olive oil, creates a tasty salad dressing. Carrots have an added attraction. They are root vegetables loaded with beta carotene which is good for the eyes. In a pinch: If you don't have, (or use) soy sauce, substitute with balsamic vinegar and add salt to taste. Enjoy!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Vegetable Broth</image:title>
      <image:caption>About Rutabaga: also known as Yellow Turnip. Unless they are organic, they are waxed and must be carefully peeled. In a pinch: Sometimes local vegetable markets don't carry rutabaga. When that's the case, I substitute a small butternut squash. Peel and remove seeds. Slice thickly. That does the trick! Add to the mix and follow the rest of the directions. This clear vegetable broth can be enjoyed on its own, or as a base for soups and sauces. Add cooked beans, green peas, steamed carrots, sprouts, tofu, pasta, cilantro or spinach. Let your imagination go wild!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This mixed vegetable curry dish is tasty, quick and easy to prepare. Try sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes. Broccoli can substitute for cauliflower. Left over curry is delicious. Keep covered in a bowl, and refrigerated for 2-3 days. Enjoy!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Pomegranate Dressing</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the fall, after work, my father would come home with pomegranates in a brown paper bag. Two or three rolled out of the bag onto our kitchen table. Grabbing one, I broke open the leathery skin; and popped the beautiful red rubies out of the shell; landing all over the table. As we ate these ruby red seeds, I asked him what they were. “Chinese apples” he said. Years later, I learned another word for Chinese apple was Pomegranate. Those lovely ruby seeds will always remind me of him.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Fennel, Spinach &amp; Apple Salad</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are often fennel (aka anise) bulbs in our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) box. Eating it raw in salads can be uninspiring. However, cooking fennel brings out its subtle flavor and blends well with spinach and apples. I hope this salad makes you a fennel fan, if you’re not one already! Apparently, there is a distinction between male and female fennel. Males are round, less fibrous and best eaten raw. The female version is long and recommended for cooking. From my experience, either one is fine. In a pinch: No spinach? Arugula or bib lettuce will work as well.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>There are so many ways to prepare Vegan Chili. This recipe calls for Textured Vegetable/Soy Protein. (TVP/TSP). These are the same foods with different packaging. TVP/TSP are both made from defatted soy flour cooked and dried. When you add hot water it takes on the same texture as chopped meat. Try this chili when it’s cold and rainy outside, or even if it’s not!</image:caption>
