Quick and Easy Entrées
No matter how busy we are all day, we still have to get dinner on the table. Here are a few recipes that will help you accomplish this with minimum effort. Just add a salad, a fruit or raw or steamed vegetable and you will have a delicious, nutritious meal ready in no time. Add baked tofu, seitan or nuts if you like more protein in your meals. There is very good, baked tofu and seitan available in the refrigerator section of all of the health food markets. They come ready to serve and in a variety of flavors. I encourage you to try them.
Whole Wheat Popovers
These popovers are great for a simple family meal. You can serve the popovers plain or with fruit. If you add a salad, soup and/or other vegetable you've got a meal. The popovers do collapse quickly and lose their shape so I would not recommend this recipe for guests. Extra popovers can be refrigerated or frozen. Put them in the toaster oven to reheat.

Buckwheat and Broccoli
Buckwheat and Broccoli can be used as a meal in one pot or you can add soup or salad. Buckwheat, by the way, is not in the wheat family at all and can be eaten by those with wheat allergies. Additionally, this dish can be successfully frozen. Just thaw, heat and serve when you need it.

Super quick pizza
A healthy pizza? It can be done. French Meadow makes a great whole grain spelt pizza crust. (certified United Mehadrin Kosher) If you cannot easily find it, Whole Foods or your local health food store can probably order it. Just make sure that you get the Whole Grain Spelt and not the White Country Sourdough also made by French Meadow.
When choosing a tomato sauce, make sure that it is low sodium and low sugar and that it does not have a preservatives or chemicals. For a half cup serving,it should not have more than 280 mg sodium or 5 g of sugars. I like Amy's low sodium Marinara. Also, I haven't tried it yet, but Whole Foods makes, under the 365 brand, Organic Fat free pasta sauce that looks pretty good. It has 8 g sugars, but according to the ingredients listed, they are not occurring from added sweeteners but rather from carrot powder. It is Circle U Kosher.
Most left over vegetables would make a great topping. Just slice them and spread around the pizza top before you bake. You can also top with sliced tofu hot dogs or canned, sliced olives. Any leftover pizza can be eaten cold the next day or frozen. Thaw and toast on medium to enjoy again.
