Miriam and I met like all food bloggers do, visiting one another's blogs.  Miriam links to My Meatless Mondays and I have always loved her recipes.  I found many of them to be quick and easy to make and I am sure delicious, as well.  I am waiting for her cookbook to come out so I can cook through it.  I am that confident that I will like it. I am going to let Miriam speak for herself.  I will say, I feel honored to have such a lovely foodie visiting my blog and certainly enriching it.  Please visit her , for yourself, and see how right, I am.   Hi there! Miriam Barton here, author of Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters , the cookbook (to be released in June 2011).   I have designed an entire cookbook of vegetarian and vegan recipes that would all taste delicious to people who eat meat on a regular basis. You see for me, and for most people, taste is the issue.   No matter how healthy something is for your body, no one wants to eat it if i...

When I started blogging, I began to explore new taste sensations, new culinary treats, and as a result, did not make many of the old favorites, as often, in the past. Meatballs were almost dropped when we cut back on our meat intake.   One of my favorite dishes had been meatballs in many guises but good old Spaghetti and Meatballs led the pack.  Although, I would not call it a comfort food, it came close.  Pasta is always comforting and a tasty meatball only makes it better. I am emptying my freezer and one of the items in it is three packages of chopped turkey.  One of them is being eaten, tonight,  thanks to Giada. Pasta with Turkey Meatballs      Adapted from Giada De Laurentiis Ingredients: 1/2 cup plain corn meal 2 tablespoons Rice milk 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 pound ground turkey  1 onion, chopped in mini blender Salt and ground black pepper to taste 5 cups tomato sauce, recipe follows 1 pound pasta Directions: Meatba...
