Here we go again. We were lacking for fresh vegetables tonight but I picked what's probably the last of the chard from the garden and decided that gnocchi would make for a quick meal. I sauteed some thinly sliced sweet onion in olive oil with salt & pepper, then added the chopped chard and cooked for a bit more, then a large clove of garlic, very thinly sliced, and a handful of toasted pine nuts. Then in went the gnocchi along with about 1/2 cup of plain soy milk. I covered the pan and reduced the heat and simmered for a few minutes then mixed in a couple tablespoons of nutritional yeast. Meanwhile Darlene was making a quick salad with fresh tomatoes, marinated mushrooms, kalamata olives, celery, red cabbage and salt, pepper, oil and vinegar. It all came together quickly and was pretty tasty too.Wednesday, August 02, 2006

I was never crazy about olives until I started buying good quality ones. They do have a strong flavor but now I love 'em...
