I like to make new recipes and am always on the hunt for good vegetarian recipes, given that I am a vegetarian for 18 years.  The rest of my family is not vegetarian but they are pretty willing to try my new creations.

I saw this recipe in Rachel Ray’s monthly magazine.  It has a few steps so be prepared.  Make the crust and cook it in advance.  Then saute the mushrooms and leeks (separately).  Cool the crust and make the egg, cheese, milk mixture.  Assemble and cook!  This was delicious!  Give it a whirl.

 

Butternut Squash Barley Risotto

I love to try new recipes.  You will often find me tearing out recipes in the latest magazines.  Of course, lots of people do that but I actually make the recipe.  Tonight I made Rachel Ray’s Butternut Squash Barley Risotto that was in her latest issue.  Check out the recipe here.  This was an easy recipe to make and the kids actually ate it (squash and all).

I also made Madelines.  Again, a super simple and delicious cookie that is easy to make.  You will undoubtedly have all the ingredients in your pantry.  They look so impressive and when you serve them, the recipients know they are getting something extra special!
