Fried Zucchini Po Boy
You won’t believe the flavor of this inspired vegetarian classic sandwich
‘
About the Recipe: A good Po’ Boy is a thing to behold. Trying to make an inspired copycat sandwich using vegetables was a challenge. We think we’ve found a delicious alternative. For Midwestern folks, this is an honest celebration of summer, using mini zucchini for the usual seafood. After making the recipe through once, consider varying the dish by opting for a more traditional cornmeal breading for the breading.

Meatless Monday Pot Root Roast
A 1950 classic comes back with an improved and healthier style
‘
About this Recipe: One of the most popular 1950 recipes featured a roasted beef pot roast in an aluminum foil covered dish that baked for about 3 hours. It was so easy to prepare and used the new dry onion soup mix. Today, I was inspired to use this technique with a pan full of fresh vegetables. I shortened the roasting time, flavored the gravy with caramelized tomato paste, and browned the vegetables. It’s a perfect all-in-one dish dinner, especially great for Meatless Monday. We roasted it in the oven, but it, most likely, can be cooked in a slow cooker too.
