Hearty Minestrone Soup
This minestrone soup recipe features vegetables, beans, and pasta in a rich, tomato-based broth. Serve this hearty soup with lightly toasted bread to mop up every last drop. The recipe can easily be doubled.
Lentil Cakes (Patties)
This recipe for lentil cakes (patties) is wonderful. They've undergone several transformations since I first tried them, using different soup mixes for seasoning and adding chopped nuts for texture. Serve them with tomato sauce or bake them in a mushroom sauce for a fancy dinner. My favorite way to enjoy them is on a burger bun or good homemade bread like a hamburger, with lettuce, tomato, cheese, mayo, ketchup, and alfalfa sprouts!
Italian Potato Salad
My Nonnie used to make this potato salad for me whenever I was home for the holidays. It's a great alternative to mayo-based potato salads. Red wine vinegar works well, too.
