Cookbooks by Jennifer Raymond and Mary McDougall tend to have the

kinds of recipes you're looking for.

 

You can leave out hot spices if you don't like them.

 

What do you like to eat?

 

In the winter, I love lots of baked/roasted vegetables -- and nothing

is easier.

 

Winter Squash

Wash the squash. Put on baking sheet or in baking pan. Bake at 350F

for 30-50 minutes or until done (smaller ones are done sooner, larger

ones may need even longer). Cut in half, scoop out seeds and pulp.

(Optional: wash seeds and bake at 250 for 10-20 minutes. Don't let

them burn!) Eat. Most squashes have edible peels.

 

Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes

Wash. Cut eyes and blemishes out of potatoes. Cut/break into chunks

about 1.5 inches. Place on baking sheet or in baking dish. Bake at

350F for 30 minutes, more or less. Eat.

One of my favourite quick and easy meals is to chop up vegetables

(broccoli, courgette, green beans, mushrooms, onions, potato, add

peas and stirfy. YOu can add tofu or beans or nuts for protein, and

serve with a little rice, or potato, or bread.
