Brazilian Black Bean Soup : page 26

This recipe was so good! I decided to make this on a whim so I used canned black beans as I did not have time to make the beans from dried. I used 3 cans of the beans pureeing one of them. I also added 1/2 cup of brown rice . My husband loved this soup, said it was a keeper!! The orange juice gave it a tang and everything melded into yum goodness!!

Broccali Noodle Mushroom Casserole : page 127

I too, used a 12 oz package of noodles and it made a large amount. I used an 11x15 pan because a 9x13 was quite full. I used whole wheat noodles, panko bread crumbs (in the filling) and wheat germ as the topping. I think this made a good ,hearty meal. It had a creamy feel and a bit of a tang-not sure if that was from the sharp cheddar or the wine. I will definately make it again. Might be nice served with a tossed green salad.

Cauliflower Cheese Pie : page 159

I liked this dish but not sure I would go out of the way to make it again. I should have followed my instinct about the crust as it got a little hard--so I would really watch it better next time. I did not use as much onion in the crust because it called for grated onion and I find that more strong. If I just chopped it finely I may have used the 1/4 c called for. I also used a little water when cooking the cauliflower. My husband's first response was "interesting". He did like it and said he would eat it again. I can see how you could use different cheeses to switch up the flavor. I cut it into 4 wedges and would definately serve a salad or something else with it.
