RxMike’s Rustic Vegetable Soup

// May 20th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Organic Gardening, Recipes

So, I have had a lot of requests for the recipe for my vegetable soup…because it’s “M’m! M’m! Good! ” By the way, why did Campbell’s change their slogan to “Nourishing people’s lives everywhere, every day”…stick with your iconic status!

This soup is somehow hearty enough for the winter and yet light enough for the summer. Who knows, maybe this recipe will be added to the blog for soup and stew recipes…if so, I only hope they keep the name “RxMike’s Rustic Vegetable Soup.”

Here is the recipe… (more…)

I had a bag of apples that were going to go bad before I could eat them all, so I put together the following dessert. This is not a strict recipe, so improvise using other fruits/flavor combinations.

Recipe: RxMike’s Stuffed Eggplant

// February 18th, 2009 // Comments Off // Recipes

Tasty, healthy, quick meal.
Freezes well for nights you need an even quicker dinner.

What you need:
1 eggplant
1c cooked rice (I use brown, whole-grain)
1 zucchini (chopped)
1 onion (chopped)
1/2c brown mushrooms (chopped)
2TB tomato paste
1/2t. basil
1/2t. oregano
olive oil
salt
mozzarella/parmasan cheese (optional)

Directions
Preheat your oven to 350. Slice the eggplant in half (lengthways), scoop out the insides and save the “shells.” You can substitute the eggplant insides for the zucchini if you prefer. Sautee the zucchini, onion and mushrooms in a large skillet until the onions are clear. Add the cooked rice, tomato paste, herbs and salt. Sautee the mixture for 5 minutes. Place the eggplant shells into a large baking dish and then fill them with the sauteed vegetable mixture. You can top the eggplants with shredded mozzarella or parmasen cheese if you prefer. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 additional minutes. Makes 2-4 servings.

I seem to get a lot of feeback on Facebook, Twitter, etc. everytime I post about the meals that I cook….so I’ve decided to start posting select recipes on occassion, along with photos.

As always, I welcome your feedback and suggestions. Keep in mind that since I am a pescetarian (vegetables + fish), none of my recipes will feature beef, chicken or poultry…not to say that you couldn’t experiment on your own with adding meat to these recipes.
