Better Broccoli Casserole

This is the first dish I've made with quinoa that I actually like. I rinsed the quinoa and made it using the pressure cooker method described in the first link. (1:1 ratio using wet grains...high pressure 1 min, depressurize for 15)

I used 1 lb broccoli, stems included.

This was really tasty. I just used a handful of gluten free breadcrumbs and didn't do any garlic saute. That probably would have made it even better, but it was super tasty as it was.

This was pretty good. I made it from her cookbook which calls for gruyere instead of parm. I didn't have fresh tarragon so i put dried in with the rest of the mixture.
I made this in my 2.5 qt oval bake dish.

This was good, but took a long time and gruyere is a little too expensive. It is a good vegetarian option when needed though.

Black bean and Sweet Potato Enchiladas

Black bean and Sweet Potato Enchiladas

I made this recipe but added some pork I had leftover from another dish. It was great! It worked well with Aldi GF tortillas. I squeezed 7 full tortillas into a 9x13 pan. I also put shredded cheese on top after I took it out of the oven, but you could do it before you put it in. Then served it with sour cream and avocado. The avocado wasn't really necessary. This is another good leftover sweet potato meal after making sweet potato noodles using the spiral slicer.

Veggie Pot Pie with Wine Sauce

This was so much better than the last Veggie Pot Pie I made. I didn't make the polenta crust, I used a trader joes pie pastry crust instead. I let it bake for like 30 min at 350, but it could have gone longer because the veggies were cold from roasting them the day before. This was really good!

Veggie Pot Pie

I've been on a pot pie kick lately. Something to do with pie day perhaps. I made this pot pie for a vegetarian neighbor who just had a baby. I made one for DH and me too. It turned out pretty well. DH and I are definitely not vegetarian, but even so I think this dish could be improved by using a different kind of broth, and some porcini mushrooms for some depth of flavor. I used trader joes veggie broth, which is really carrotty I think. I actually made 1.5 times the recipe and it fit into 1 standard 9 inch pie dish and 1 deep dish 9 inch pie dish. I only did top crusts as well. I increased the cornstarch to 5 Tablespoons (for a 1x recipe, so for 1.5x I put in 7.5 T cornstarch). It helped make it a better thickness.

I followed the crust recipe recommended on the allrecipes link in the footnotes, which is here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Crust-for-Veggie-Pot-Pie/Detail.aspx. (It makes a double crust). The crust was completely uninspiring. Don't make it again! I much prefer my crust recipe that goes with my chicken pot pie recipe.
