		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Vegetable lasagna is a very filling vegetarian main dish.  This lasagna is made out lasagna noodles layered with ricotta cheese and tomato sauce with green peppers.  Who says you need meat to be full? This vegetable lasagna is surely scrumptious! Vegetable Lasagna Recipe With Green Peppers Cooking time: 45 minute(s) Ingredients: 9 lasagna noodles 2 jars (32 oz each) pasta sauce 1 lb ricotta cheese 2 eggs 2 cups shredded cheese (preferably mozzarella) 3 large green bell peppers 2 small onions 5 garlic cloves 1 tbsp oil Salt and pepper Directions How To Make Vegetable Lasagna: Put lasagna noodles in a 13&#215;9 baking dish and pour hot tap water over them, so the dish is filled with water.  Set the dish on the counter.  Let the lasagna noodles soak for 20 minutes, while you prepare all other ingredients.  I never boil lasagna noodles, I always simply soak them &#8211; see my no-boil lasagna instructions. Preheat the oven to 350F. Peel and chop the onions and set aside.  Peel and mince the garlic and set aside.  Core and chop the green peppers and set aside.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Even meat eaters will love biting into this delicious black bean cheeseburger! I am not a vegetarian, but I really enjoy the black been cheeseburgers as a nice change from the traditional cheeseburgers.  In fact, when I first got the black bean veggie burger patties at Costco, my original plan was to get the regular beef burger patties.  After looking at the calories and fat content on the back of the package of the beef patties, I decided that maybe this time I should get something healthier :) That&#8217;s how I got the black bean patties for the first time.  Everybody in the house, including kids, liked the black bean cheeseburgers, so I started making them on a regular basis! Recipe: Black Bean Cheeseburger Recipe Preparation time: 5 minute(s) Cooking time: 10 minute(s) Ingredients: Frozen black bean burger patty (I like Morningstar Chipotle Black Bean Burgers) Slice of cheese Bun Salsa (my favorite for this recipe is Chachies Mango Peach Salsa) Directions How To Make The Black Bean Cheeseburger: Preheat the oven to 475F.  Put the black bean patty on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Put in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. After the black [...]]]></description>

This is a vegetarian version of the hawaiian pizza.  For a variation of hawaiian pizza recipe, add cubed ham as a topping! Ingredients For Hawaiian Pizza Recipe: Pizza Crust Pineapple, chopped (or use canned pineapple chunks) Onion, sliced Tomato sauce Shredded Cheese Directions How To Make Hawaiian Pizza At Home: Preheat oven to 425F.

		<description><![CDATA[Ingredients: 6 medium potatoes 1 onion 2 eggs 4 tbsp flour 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper Oil for frying Directions: Shred the potatoes using the food processor (shredder disk).  Put shredded potatoes in the colander in the sink, and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Grate the onion.  Mix potatoes, onion, eggs, flour, salt and pepper. Heat the oil in the non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat (I use 2 frying pans on 2 burners to save time).  Form the potato mixture into patties (squeeze out excess liquid as you go) and put on a frying pan. Cook for 7 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes (or until golden-brown on both sides and cooked through).   Check the potato pancakes from time to time and adjust the heat setting &#8211; if they are starting to turn too dark, the heat is too high, and if they are pale, it&#8217;s too low. Potato pancakes taste best when served immediately &#8211; when reheated, they lose their crunch.  Serve with apple sauce.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stuffed baked sweet potato recipe makes a wonderful vegetarian main dish.  What I really like about this recipe is that even though it&#8217;s a vegetarian recipe, most meat-eaters like it too.  Stuffed baked sweet potato is a very yummy meatless dinner that doesn&#8217;t involve tofu :) Hot baked sweet potato with tasty filling and hot gooey melted cheese on top is a meal that appeals to most people, vegetarian and meat-eaters alike. Ingredients For Stuffed Baked Sweet Potatoes Recipe: Sweet potatoes Sliced mushrooms Any green vegetables (for example, green peppers, asparagus, green beans, etc.) Shredded cheese (cheddar is best) Olive oil Directions How To Make Stuffed Baked Sweet Potatoes: Step 1 Of Stuffed Baked Sweet Potato Recipe: Bake The Sweet Potatoes Preheat oven to 400F.  Prick the sweet potatoes with a knife in a couple of places (so they don&#8217;t burst).  Rub the sweet potatoes with olive oil.  Line the baking sheet with foil and put potatoes on a baking sheet.  Put in the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Note: you can do this step in advance.  Just throw the sweet potatoes in the oven, then take them out 1 1/2 hours later and refrigerate till you are [...]]]></description>
