Veggie Supper~By Lunch Lady Catering
Recently, a friend of mine was in a quandary as to what meat-free meals to serve her Catholic family on Fridays. She turned to me for some suggestions. Now, having cooked my share of meals for vegetarian clients over the years, I was prepared with a long list of recipes. This one was the one she thought would fit her family best. It is a hearty, delicious meal when paired with a whole grain salad such as quinoa or wheat berries. It is also a family friendly meal if you get the kids in on the assembly! The stuffing is just a suggestion, and is adaptable to just about any season, or whatever veggies you have hanging out in the fridge! Phyllo Vegetable Turnovers..
