Pistachio Pesto For Edith

The recipe called Pistachio Pesto For Edith (page 511) is shown here mixed with black beans, fresh tomatoes, and Orzo. This is the time of year for traveling to see loved ones so I made this recipe for our lunch on the road. The pesto was delicious and gave us a great simple meal we could feel good about.

Tofu or Panir Quiche with Broccoli

The Tofu or Panir Quiche with Broccoli (page 211) was made with tofu and cream cheese. I also added Miriam's Sofrito (page 218) which adds a real depth of flavor to the quiche. I used broccoli but next time I'd like to try it with artichoke hearts. It was a hearty dish without being heavy and it tastes delicious.

Fig or Date Bars

Today I decided to make the Fig or Date Bars (page 438). Ayurveda highly regards both dates and figs and today I used dates. I also replaced the wheat germ with rolled oats as suggested in the variation. The crust is a little more crumbly than I expected but the bars are still good and chewy. This is a sweet treat with no guilt.
