http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/scrambled_eggs_with_tomatillos/ Every few days, for the last month, I’ve gone out to my garden in the morning and gathered enough tomatillos to cook up with some eggs for breakfast. Here it is November, and the leaves are all turning, but we’re in Northern California and we still have yet to get a frost, so the tomatillos are still growing, albeit more slowly. We grew up with my mother making huevos a la Mexicana , or scrambled eggs cooked in a tomato and jalapeno salsa.

South African 'Bunny Chow' with Chickpeas

Recipe Slow Cooker Size: 4 quart Setting: Low The word étouffée means “smothered”—an ideal task for the slow cooker. In this version, tempeh gets smothered by the usual vegetable trinity of South Louisiana cooking—onions, bell pepper, and celery—along with a flavorful sauce laced with thyme and marjoram. Serve over freshly cooked rice. http://www.cookstr.com/recipes/tempeh-etouffee

Tempeh Etouffee

http://pickyvegan.com/sriracha-maple-cider-glazed-tempeh/ Really simple to make- served along with greens and Roasted Fingerling Potatoes from the Candle 79 Cookbook . This was a simple dinner I made the other night, just after I got home from work. The tempeh came together quickly while the potatoes were roasting- you definitely have a few minutes before you need to start making the tempeh while the potatoes are in the oven.

Lidia's Italy: Recipes: Manfredi's Steamed Calamari

serves: 6 servings This is the warm salad we enjoyed at Manfredi Barbera's as one of the appetizers. It is also delicious at room temperature-and in the heat of summer, it makes a marvelous main course or an accompaniment (contorno) to grilled fish or chicken.
