Apple Carrot Salad
Perfect combination of fall flavors.

Red Beans and Rice
If you have time, make your brown rice from scratch. Use chicken broth instead of water to amp up the flavor. It will take about 45 minutes. In a pinch, instant brown rice is OK.

Broiled Lemon Tofu
Marinate the tofu for 3 to 12 hours, then broil 3 minutes on each side until browned.

Garlic Vegetable Dip
Serve with toasted bread or crackers or as a dip for fresh vegetables.

Rustic Tomato and Vegetable Soup
Diced tomatoes join grated carrots and zucchini in this tasty soup.

Basmati Rice with Kale and Butternut Squash
This dish toasts the rice first, before the rest of the ingredients are added.

Scallion and Roasted Pine Nut Hummus
Serve at room temperature with pita bread wedges.

Cool White Bean Dip
A great homemade bean dip for fresh vegetables or pita chips.

Green Beans Amandine
To make this recipe quick and easy, buy fresh or frozen packages of green beans designed for microwaving.

Mole Sauce
Give grilled chicken or leftover turkey a south-of-the-border flavor with this chocolate-infused sauce.
