MUSHROOM STUFFED POTATOES RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
*4 large baking potatoes *1/4 cup organic dairy, soy, or rice lcream cheese *1 tablespoon light olive oil *1 large onion, chopped *8 ounces white or cremini mushrooms, sliced *Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
PREPARATION: Bake or microwave the potatoes until done but still firm. When cool enough to handle, cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out the inside of each potato half, leaving a sturdy shell, about 1/4 inch thick all around.
-Transfer the scooped-out potato to a mixing bowl and mash it coarsely. Stir in the cream cheese.
-Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until golden. Add the mushrooms, cover, and cook until they are done to your liking, stirring occasionally.
-Combine the mushroom mixture, liquid and all, with the mashed potato in the mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir well to combine.
-Stuff the mixture back into the potato shells. Heat as needed in the microwave or in a preheated 400-degree oven, and serve.

SALAD BAR AT HOME INGREDIENTS: *Shredded lettuce (pre-shredded if you’d prefer) or mixed baby greens *Cherry tomatoes or diced tomatoes *Baby carrots or pre-shredded carrots *Broccoli florets *Coleslaw cabbage, pre-shredded
*Pre-shredded organic or soy cheese *Canned beans or chickpeas, drained and rinsed *Olives, black or green *Pickled beets (jarred), drained *Toasted sunflower seeds *Cottage cheese *Two or three different types natural low-fat salad dressingsor cruets of olive oil and balsamic vinegar
*Suggested additions (any or all): Microwaved potatoes or sweet potatoes, plain or flavored yogurts, fresh bread or focaccia.
PREPARATION: Strategy: If you are planning to serve potatoes, pop them in the oven first. Get your family together to open cans and jars, then place these items and the other items in serving bowls. Let everyone assemble their own salads.

PASTA AND ANTIPASTO
A big pot of spaghetti is the basis of a fun and festive meal. In the time it takes to cook the pasta, an antipasto platter of fresh vegetables and cheeses or soy items that need little or no preparation, can be composed. As an alternative to spaghetti, consider a type of frozen pasta instead: Tortellini, ravioli, or cavatelli, or gnocchi (potato and semolina dumplings). For the pasta, you’ll need:
*1-pound package pasta (thin spaghetti and angel hair are quickest cooking) *28-ounce jar good-quality natural pasta (marinara) sauce *28-ounce can diced tomatoes

For the antipasto, choose several from the following suggested items: *Jarred roasted red peppers, drained *Cured olives, black or green *Fresh mozzarella balls or very fresh tofu, diced and sprinkled with vinaigrette *Baby carrots *Pre-cut broccoli or cauliflower florets *Pepperoncini *Cherry tomatoes *Sliced green bell peppers and/or cut celery stalks
Suggested accompaniments: Fresh whole-grain bread and a good wine; a bowl of grated fresh Parmesan cheese (preferably organic) or Parmesan-style soy cheese to pass around.
Strategy: While bringing a large pot of water to a boil and cooking the pasta, prepare a platter or two of antipasto and slice the bread. When the pasta is done, drain it and return it to the pot. Stir in the pasta sauce (and if you’ve used dry pasta, the diced tomatoes). Warm up as needed. Serve the pasta on individual plates and let everyone take what they wish from the antipasto platters. Pass around the Parmesan cheese for topping the pasta.

MY HERO (OR SUPER WRAPS)
Here’s a sandwich feast that never disappoints. And any meal made mainly at the table can’t be bad, either. You’ll need:
A loaf or two of long Italian bread (preferably whole grain) or individual hero rolls, fresh wrap breads, or soft lavash bread
Soy deli slices and/or crisp-cooked soy “bacon”
Thinly sliced tomatoes
Very thinly sliced bell pepper rings
Shredded lettuce
Mustard
Soy mayonnaise
Suggested accompaniments: Pre-shredded coleslaw, simply dressed in a natural fat-free vinaigrette; pickles or pepperoncini; corn-on-the-cob.
Strategy: Simply place the hero or wrap ingredients on the table and let everyone assemble their own heroes or wraps. Serve the accompaniments alongside.
