Today’s lunch: Whole grain rice and wild mushrooms.
This was made with Uncle Ben’s instant Vegetable Harvest Whole Grain Medley rice. Instead of heating it in the microwave, it was heated in a skillet with some margarine, water and the mushrooms. It tasted a lot better than it looks!

Easter eats.
Tomato and red pepper ravioli with butternut squash and sage sauce adapted from this recipe — just replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the Pecorino Romano.
My mom also made these “macaroni Calabrese” in case anyone didn’t like the ravioli — but they all did like it, so everyone but me had two “primi piatti.”
Here’s my mom and sister eating their ravioli.
Here’s my dad opening a bottle of Portuguese wine.
Here’s one of my two glasses of that wine.
After some broccoli and peas I had an apple and some amaretto.
And then … CAKE!!!
Cappuccino cake from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. It came out so good. The sugar-free frosting was made from this recipe that calls for tofu and maple syrup, yum.
And to finish it off, a nice cup of espresso. Happy Easter, y’all.
