Maximizing Nutrition
by Alice Osborne



Considering our trust in and excitement over the 14 Super Foods, we’re looking for vegetarian recipes that include as many as possible. If you have some favorites you’d like to share, send them in and we’ll see that they’re included!

Bircher Meusli (Swiss Oatmeal)

¾ C old fashioned oats
6-8 Tbsp soymilk
1 apple
½ lemon
1 Tbsp raw honey
1 orange
1 banana
½ C chopped walnuts
Soy milk for serving

Put steel cut oats in a bowl and cover with milk. Let the oats soak for about 90 minutes (or even overnight). Wash the apple thoroughly, quarter and grate. If possible don't peel the apple. Mix the grated apple with freshly squeezed juice of half a lemon and add to the steel cut oats. Sweeten with liquid honey. Peel an orange and cut off all the white skin. Fillet the orange and cut in small pieces. Add to the Bircher Muesli. Peel the banana and slice; chop the walnuts (if desired use a different kind of nuts or almonds). Add the banana slices and chopped walnuts to the Muesli. When ready to server, top with more soy milk. Every fresh seasonal fruit can be used to prepare Bircher Muesli. Serves 1 or 2.

Bruschetta With Tomatoes and Spinach

Ciabatta bread
Fresh tomatoes (chopped)
Fresh spinach (chopped)
Scallions or green onions (chopped)
Fresh oregano (chopped)
Fresh basil (chopped)
Fresh garlic (1 or 2 cloves, chopped)
Pepper, salt
1 Tbsp cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil

There’s no amounts given. Combine ingredients to your taste and the number being served. Toast bread, lightly coat with olive oil and spread the veggie and herb mixture onto each slice. This is meant to be an appetizer, but if you make enough, you can serve it with steamed corn on the cob, tossed salad, and a fruit cup, and oh my goodness—a meal fit for royalty!

Spud Nest

Potatoes (maybe 4 or 5 lbs)
Soy milk
Butter
Broccoli
Spinach
Cauliflower
Peas
Etc. on the veggies
½ C grated cheddar or jack cheese

Cook potatoes in salted water (amount of spuds depends on how many you’re serving). Mash with a little soy milk and butter. Steam veggies. Butter a 9x13 baking dish. Spoon mashed spuds into dish around perimeter, creating a bird’s nest effect (the center of dish should be open). Add steamed veggies to center of spud nest. Sprinkle cheese atop veggies. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes (just to melt cheese and heat through). Serve with tossed salad and buttered French Bread. Hearty, filling and healthy!
