Interesting collection of recipes. I found several I’d be interested in making, but I’m not sure my husband would like them. Poor guy, I’m always experimenting on him, and he generally takes it pretty well. The Honey-Lime Quinoa Stuffed Sweet Potatoes has been in my regular rotation for quite a while, and I love it. I actually do it as a casserole instead of stuffing the sweet potatoes. Definitely, recommend that recipe to everyone.

Great recipes, but parmesan is not vegetarian. It is made using calf's stomach. You might as well eat veal. Some supermarkets sell "Italian hard cheese" which is often vegetarian and tastes exactly the same, but to be called parmesan it must use the traditional recipe.
