"One of my favorite annual treats from my CSA is Edamame, a fresh soybean that is a popular snack in Japan. Did you know that soybeans actually enrich the soil they are grown in? They enrich the body that eats them, too! :)"

Ingredients: edamame, salt...

"Delicious, hearty, low fat and high protein soup that doesn't use meat or bones for flavor - just fresh veggies and spices."

Ingredients: dried lentils, ground thyme...

"A mildly spicy accompaniment to any Tex-Mex or Mexican entree. Spiciness can be played down by adding bell peppers or spiced up by using habaneros or additional chilies. The intrigue of this dish is how all the flavors come together..very tasty!"

Ingredients: ground cumin, extra virgin olive oil...

"Whipped this up tonight since we have been a bit vegetable deficient lately. I LOVE hummus, as does my fiancé, so I thought this would be perfect. It turned out really well. This is based on my Lebanese friend's recipe for hummus--she is religious about hummus and tabbouleh, so I know I have the basic recipe down pat!! :-) Be sure to adjust..."

Ingredients: garbanzo beans, edamame...

"This is a very garlicky salad. A nice fast dinner. A slight adaptation from a recipe in "Weight Watchers Miracle Foods" cookbook. Each serving is 3 points as written. Though I suggest a tad more sauce, which would make the points go up a smidge. Red onion is preferred because of the milder taste. If you like the taste of raw onion, then yellow..."

Ingredients: baby greens, pepper...

"This is one of my favorite Moosewood recipes, and it is so easy! My toddler even loves this recipe. This cold salad is perfect during the hot summer months, and goes great with meals that are cooked on the grill. I find that adding 1 T red wine vinegar makes it absolutely perfect. Moosewood categorizes this recipe as a "Main dish salad"..."

Ingredients: dried basil, diced tomatoes...

"Chickpeas and garbanzo beans are the same thing, and have a great taste in this refreshing salad."

Ingredients: cider vinegar, pepper, corn...

"This is a variation of a recipe I've been making for years. I've added the black beans to make it a nice vegetarian dish."

Ingredients: pepper, corn kernels, couscous...

"I know, I know! There are 183 hummus recipes! But none have peanut butter in them. I got this from a nutritionist who's (now grown) children would only eat hummus if she used peanut butter instead of tahini. I like it this way rather than the tahini way. Try it. You'll be pleasantly surprised! I put the olive oil right in the blender..."

Ingredients: creamy peanut butter, fresh parsley...

"A wonderfully refreshing bean salad, great served alongside BBQ meats.
Every now and again I'll add in a chopped tomato or two."

Ingredients: ground cumin, butter beans...

"This is a refreshing, crunchy and healthy salad with one of my favorites: chickpeas! It's a good main-dish vegetarian salad, uses ingredients typically "on-hand" - and is delicious with pita chips! As you can imagine, it's awesome with garden-fresh veggies in the summer! Add black olives if desired."

Ingredients: pepper, bermuda onions...

"My sister's recipe. I can literally eat the whole lot before it gets to the table!"

Ingredients: fresh coriander, fresh ginger...

"This pie is so rich and decadent it almost tastes more like a key lime cheesecake! I made it for a Caribbean-themed party without telling what was in it and everyone raved about it! I'm not even a vegan and I plan on making this one frequently. I got the recipe from VegWeb."

Ingredients: vanilla pudding mix, pastry shells...

"These flavorful patties are baked instead of fried! I modified this recipe from The Great American Detox Diet by Alex Jamieson. These burgers freeze well if individually wrapped. Reheat them in the microwave or oven or on the grill."

Ingredients: curry powder, dried basil...
