For a great dinner, try Bill's Shepherd's Pie (pg 136). It earned a check +++ by all at the dinner table tonight (that includes Josh, age 16, and Mom, age 98!). Sam raved about it. It is fairly fast to prep and requires fairly basic ingredients. I added Earth balance (butter alternative) and Bragg's Aminos to the mashed potatoes and it really made them zing (even found myself licking the mashed potato pan!)
The other dish I made was the Tangy spring Salad (pg 57). This was marvelous too even though I was missing a few ingredients and didn't chill it before serving as suggested. The nice thing is that leftovers can be chilled and enjoyed the next day. This salad is surprisingly different. So if you want a change from the usual salad, try it.
I got my herb garden in yesterday. Today, was drizzly and a perfect first day for all my plants. I use seaweed compost that we make right here. Its great stuff. I put a shovel full in each hole before planting. I put in Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, Dill, Basil, Italian parsley, curly parsley, and cilantro. I can't wait to start cooking with them......
