Corn Moussaka

Posted on October 29, 2009 by peppertree

I love Moussaka. When I saw this recipe I thought, hmmm, that sounds very interesting. I used Quorn Grounds for the ground beef, and totally left out the chives. I needed a recipe that I could make ahead and refrigerate, … Continue reading →

French Onion and Wild Mushroom Soup

Posted on October 27, 2009 by peppertree

This soup was….hmmm. I am kind of on the fence with this one. The broth was VERY salty (although not too salty to eat, ’cause I had two bowls full!). But it was a little strong. And then Toby said … Continue reading →

Party Potatoes

Posted on October 23, 2009 by peppertree

(Faux) Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches

Posted on October 19, 2009 by peppertree

This isn’t a very elaborate recipe, but it was good nonetheless! I got the idea for this when we were in Montreal last week. We walked past a fast food place (maybe Burger King?), and there was a promotion going … Continue reading →

Cheese Quesadillas

Posted on October 15, 2009 by peppertree

These are no ordinary cheese quesadillas. They have a secret ingredient: cream cheese! Have you ever had a quesadilla with cream cheese? I hadn’t. I thought they might be too rich, but they weren’t. They were really good, and VERY … Continue reading →
