[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	It's just a side dish and I don't really have a recipe, but here's the basic idea: Sauteed Zucchini and Onions Zucchini, sliced (1/2 to 1 per person, depending on veggie size) 1 large onion, chopped 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, chopped/minced salt pepper olive oil oregano crushed red pepper (optional) Start with about a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and add the onion and garlic. Sautee a minute or two and then add the zucchini (make sure your pan is big enough so they sautee but don't steam). Continue sauteeing until zucchini are dont to your taste. Add a teaspoon or so of oregano and crushed red pepper. You can serve this over pasta or on its own. You can add drained, diced tomatoes at the end, too. It's good and good for you. This is a Rachel Ray recipe, but I thought it was pretty good and added a bit of crushed red pepper for heat. Creamy Mushroom Spaghetti Salt 1 pound whole-wheat or whole-grain spaghetti 1 1/2 pounds mixed mushrooms - shiitake, crimini, any that catch your eye at market 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 leeks 3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped Freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves 1/2 cup dry white wine 1/2 cup cream Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Romano, for topping Directions Heat water to a boil for the pasta, salt water, drop in pasta and cook to al dente. Wipe mushrooms clean with damp towel. Remove woody stems. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Heat a large deep skillet with extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until deeply golden and tender, 10 minutes. While mushrooms cook, halve the leeks lengthwise. Cut off a couple of inches from tough tops. Trim off root end. Thinly slice the leek then vigorously wash in a large bowl of cold water, separating all the layers to free of grit. Let leeks sit a few minutes then lift out of the water and dry on kitchen towel. Add leeks to mushrooms along with garlic and season with salt, pepper and fresh thyme. Cook 3 to 4 minutes more then add wine, reduce half a minute then stir in cream and heat through. Toss pasta with mushrooms and adjust seasoning. Top with grated cheese at the table. -----signature----- http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/ "It's crazy that the board newbies think I am a Liberal and B_T is a neo-con." - Gustaive_MT "God left a very clear instruction to Adam.

	take a can of read beans, black beans, garbanzo beans, or whatever. Drain, whizz in a food processor with extra virgin olive oil until they're a past. Make it as thick or thin as you want. Add garlic, cumin, salt, and lemon. All to taste. Smear on a flour tortilla, roll it up. You can cut into pieces or serve the paste at the table and let people smear their own. -----signature----- There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.

Stir in artichoke hearts and spinach; reduce heat, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in pasta sauce. In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, egg, nutmeg, and basil. Spread 1/4 of the artichoke mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish; top with 3 noodles. Sprinkle 1/3 mozzarella cheese over noodles. Dollop ricotta mixture over cheese and carefully spread to cover the pan. Layer 3 noodles over ricotta, 1/3 of the mozzarella, 1/4 artichoke mixture. Repeat layers 1 more time. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and feta, and bake 15 minutes more, or until hot and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. -----signature----- No sense being pessimistic.... It wouldn't work anyway.

	Vegetarian Chili Ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, coarsely chopped 6 large garlic cloves, chopped (I crush them, then chop) 3 14 1/2-ounce cans diced tomatoes in juice 1 4-ounce can diced mild green chilies 3 tablespoons chili powder 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon dried oregano 2 15- to 16-ounce cans kidney beans, drained (I use pinto) 2 green bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 10-ounce package frozen corn kernels Directions: Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices, green chilies, chili powder, cumin and oregano. Cook 10 minutes to blend flavors. Add beans, bell peppers and corn. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chili is thick, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serves 6. I like to do this with low-sodium canned tomatoes, otherwise the salt in this recipe gets overwhelming (as you might imagine with all those canned ingredients). -----signature----- I realize now I do not fear death.

	Thank you all! I am not a vegetarian, but would like to add a few dishes that are hearty and tasty. As I get older, I struggle to get as much fiber and enough vegetables in my diet...if you know what I mean...and I think that you do!

	I figured I'd add this as well, even though I've posted it numerous times. If you substitute whole grain pasta, you'll bump up the fiber in the dish. Tagliarini Picchi Pacchiu 4 Cups whole Roma tomatos, crushed and with their liquid 8 Garlic cloves, sliced 1 lb. Shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 lb. pasta (I used angel hair) 12 fresh Basil leaves, chopped 1/2 Cup Olive Oil 1 Tbsp. Salt 1 Tbsp. Ground Black Pepper Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (optional) Crush the tomatos and set them aside, with their liquid, in a large bowl. Start the water boiling for the pasta and cook accordingly. Place the olive oil in a pan and sautee the shrimp until pink and tender (couple minutes each side). Remove the shrimp from the pan, leaving the oil, and add to the tomatos. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes (if desired) to the remaining oil. Sautee up to five minutes or until tender. Add garlic and oil to the tomatos and shrimp. Stir to combine. Add the basil, salt and pepper. Once the pasta is cooked and drained, add to the sauce and combine. Serves 4-6. -----signature----- http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/ "It's crazy that the board newbies think I am a Liberal and B_T is a neo-con." - Gustaive_MT "God left a very clear instruction to Adam.

	I forgot I added shrimp to the Tagliarini (just c&p'd from earlier thread). You can certainly make it without the shrimp. -----signature----- http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/ "It's crazy that the board newbies think I am a Liberal and B_T is a neo-con." - Gustaive_MT "God left a very clear instruction to Adam.

	I went through this with the SO. He says he's vegetarian, but he eats seafood all the time. He now admits he is pescatarian. I think if it wasn't so much work, he'd go back to being full-blown vegan. -----signature----- http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/ "It's crazy that the board newbies think I am a Liberal and B_T is a neo-con." - Gustaive_MT "God left a very clear instruction to Adam.
