A party isn't complete without decorations!
Even the salad looked like pie :-) And then there's this dessert concoction...PMS Pie. Nobody in our house has PMS but the pie was good anyway! http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=25721.0

Grapefruit Pecan Bread
Grapefruit Pecan Bread
Go light on the sugar to experience the grapefruit's full puckering potential. This recipe comes from myrecipes.com.
Serves 12
1 large pink grapefruit
1 Tbs grated grapefruit rind
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbs vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 Tbs water
Coat an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2" loaf pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Peel and section grapefruit over a bowl, reserving juice and membranes. Set sections aside.
Squeeze membranes to extract juice and discard membranes. Place sections and juice in a food processor and pulse 3 times. Set aside 1-1/4 cups mixture, and reserve remaining grapefruit mixture for another use.
Combine rind, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
Combine grapefruit mixture, oil, vanilla, and egg. Stir well. Add to grapefruit mixture dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Stir in pecans.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
Combine powdered sugar and water and stir well with a wire whisk. Drizzle over bread and let cool in the pan 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan and let cool completely on wire rack before serving.

Ridiculously Easy Lunchbox Enchilada Casserole
Found on the FatFree Vegan Kitchen blog--this recipe for Ridiculously Easy Lunchbox Enchilada Casserole. And here is my version. I chose to use medium enchilada sauce instead of salsa, and my filling was refried beans, shredded Mexican cheese, and sliced black olives (all bits of leftovers lurking in my frig!) It was absolutely delicious. My only regret is that there wasn't more of it. Guess I need to buy me a new bigger dish because I can see this becoming a regular "take-to-work" food item :-)

Cappucino, anybody?
OK, I don't know about you, but I find a warm, creamy, soothing beverage just sooooo addictive, especially since winter is rapidly descending upon us! But yikes, the thought of the money some people spend at the coffee shops every week just gives me the chills, to say nothing of the liquid calories ingested, etc. Anywho, so I bought me a stovetop Espresso brewer and I've turned into a pretty fair amateur barrista, if I may say so ;-) I've also been trying out the recipes at Vegweb.com. I even got me a little leak-proof 16 oz container so I can take the needed ingredients to work and heat up a soothing beverage in the middle of my shift. Yea, I'm addicted--but at least not to having to run to the coffee shop all of the time!
Here's one of my favorite recipes, concocted by a friend from church. I'm quite sure it gives WaWa's Maple French Toast cappucino a HUGE run for the money, all around!

How to dazzle your family in the culinary department!
Fix 'em some lentils to eat. Yep, that's easy, huh? I had this recipe for Mexican Lentil Casserole that I used to make sometimes BC (before children) but haven't made in--oh--forever. 8-10 years, easily. So the other day I ran across some lentils and decided to make it today. And my kids LOVED it. Talk about a shock--I figured they'd barely touch it!
OK, so here is the recipe, now that I've tickled your tastebuds.
4 cups water
1 cup lentils
1-1/2 cups uncooked brown rice
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
Bring to a boil in a saucepan and cook until the lentils and rice are done. Stir in:
1 6-oz can tomato paste
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 tsp chili powder
Pour into a casserole dish and back 25 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove from oven and cover the top with shredded cheddar cheese; let sit 5 minutes. Serve as a main dish, or as a yummy dip with tortilla chips.
