RECIPES BEGINNING WITH 'o'

A change-out to standard tacos, this recipe is adaptable to include each person's favorite toppings (or whatever's on hand): think sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese--even shredded carrots and sliced cucumber!

Here’s a healthier version of a traditional spicy fried tortilla meal: Take a tortilla, layer it with beans and lean protein, add a medley of colorful veggies, and not only do you have a quick and easy meal, it’s your rainbow for the day.

Plan ahead an hour or two before starting this dish (for tempeh marinating time) for the best flavor. Although reubens are usually meat-laden deli favorites, here’s a hearty vegetarian version that really satisfies.

Fresh, tender springtime asparagus is absolutely divine in this dish -- feel free to sub with other veggies on hand: think broccoli, green beans, peppers, even a mix of several!

Perfect to use up any color peppers in the crisper drawer. If you have all three, it’s quite eye-catching to use red, green and yellow for mix-n-match color. When cooking for kids, feel free to eliminate the artichokes and green onion (unless they like 'em, of course!).
