Italian Herb Blend

   I found this recipe in Lorna Sass' Short-Cut Vegetarian: Great Taste in No Time.  Who would have thought that something so simple would make such an impact on taste?!?  I love this herb blend so much that I'll have to start making a double batch b/c I go through it so quickly.

Chickpea Cutlets

  I discovered this recipe in Veganomicon.  As long as you don't have an intolerance to gluten, then you will love this dish!  It reminds me most of schnitzel, maybe even a good sub for chicken fried chicken or chicken fried steak.  We ate it for dinner, but I think you could also easily have it for lunch in a sandwich or for a hearty breakfast!

Sesame-Ginger Stir Fry Sauce

  I came across this recipe in Lorna Sass' Short-Cut Vegetarian: Great Taste in No Time. I made a few changes, but overall was very happy with the result.  :)
