When you’re looking for an alternative to veggie burgers
or veggie kebabs, why not try grilling pizza instead.
Cooking pizza on the grill is one of the best ways I
know of giving your pizza crust the crispness and the
vaguely smoky taste that old-fashioned brick-oven
pizzerias manage to achieve. And all without investing
in a pizza stone or other expensive equipment.

Prep Time: 1hr 45min // Cook Time: 10min
Type of Prep: Assemble, Bake, Barbecue, Grill, Mix / Beat
Cuisine: Fusion, Italian
Occasion: July 4th, Labor/Memorial Day, Summer

One of the biggest challenges in creating vegan pizza
toppings is helping the topping stick to the pie without
melted cheese holding everything together. In this recipe,
some of the beans are tossed with tomatoes for the
topping while the rest are puréed with garlic and olive
oil into a spread that helps the topping stay put.

pre-cooking instructions.

ground walnuts, breadcrumbs, onion and parsley bound
together with beaten egg.

Prep Time: 30min // Cook Time: 25min
Type of Prep: Blend / Process, Boil, Mix / Beat, Simmer
Cuisine: Italian

I like my vegetarian chili chock-full of vegetables –
carrots, peppers and celery — along with the kidney
beans. To keep the carnivores happy, I also add bulgar
wheat, which cooks up to a texture that’s reminiscent
of ground meat. And what chili recipe is complete
without a "secret" ingredient. I add balsamic vinegar
or vegetarian Worcestershire sauce to deepen the
tomato flavor.

I made this up during our recent vacation on Cape Cod. It was a great
hit with everyone. It’s very low calorie and extremely low in carbs.

4 lbs. mussels (about 1.5-2 lbs. per person)
1 TBS olive oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 oz. dry white wine
juice of 1 lemon
2 large tomatoes, seeded and diced
about 2 TBS chopped herbs - basil, oregano, and Italian parsley

Soak the mussels in cold water for 30 minutes. Discard any that do
not close. Remove the "beards."

In a large pot, saute the garlic, tomatoes, and herbs in the olive oil.
