Eggplant Parmigiana
This meal is a definite family favorite! It is one of the recipe included in the little, white notebook my mom gave to her children in 1993. The aroma of the sauce simmering on the kitchen stove permeates the entire house. Such a delicious smell. It’s veganized by simply replacing the ground beef and cheese with plant based substitutes. It happens to be my son Richard’s favorite of the homecooked meals from his childhood. I think he has accepted the Vegan version.
Zucchini, Rice, and Sausage Bake
This family recipe was concocted by my mom who would put sauce in everything! However, this recipe is really delicious! When I gather with my five sisters to reminisce about our childhood, the addition of sauce to so many meals results in lots of laughter.
Minestrone Soup
Minestrone Soup was first introduced to the family by my dad many years ago. Of course at that time I was not Vegan so it was loaded with cut up steak and lots of vegetables. I have veganized this recipe by eliminating the meat (except for my husband).
