Rich and Savory Spaghetti Squash Casserole
This would be great as a side but is filling enough to be a meal on its own!
Couscous with Olives and Sun-Dried Tomato
This couscous with olives and sun-dried tomatoes is a delicate, flavorful dish that will satisfy vegans and carnivores alike! Inspired by my family's deep Coptic Orthodox Christian tradition, this is a great meal alternative during strict fasting times. It contains no animal products or fats but has enough flavor and visual impact to make you feel like you're not sacrificing a thing. I hope you will enjoy this recipe. Add chicken or prawns to make this vegan dish a carnivorous delight.
Big Charlie's Gumbo
This is a basic gumbo recipe with a lot of added flavor. You can omit the stew meat if you choose or add something in its place. I recommend you serve this recipe over rice, like many other gumbo recipes.
