When I saw this recipe in one of my old Clean Eating Magazines (July/August 2010), I thought "aha! What a good way to use up the carrots that have been hiding in my refrigerator."

Quinoa and Black Bean Salad
This recipe is based on a whole bunch that I found online. I had to bring a dish to pass and there was a large bag of quinoa from Costco in my pantry just begging to be used; so I searched for various recipes and cobbled together something based on what sounded good to me.
Turnips with Mushrooms
This is another recipe I found in James Beard’s American Cookery, this one combining a vegetable I have trouble figuring out what to do with (turnips) with something I LOVE (mushrooms). Best of all, it's super easy.
Refried Black Beans and Rice
When suppertime came around, I was not too hungry but wanted a little something; so I looked through my cookbooks to find something quick, easy, and which would work well for lunch tomorrow. As soon as I saw this recipe in The Food Matters Cookbook: 500 Revolutionary Recipes for Better Living I knew it fit the bill.
Eggplant Burgers
We finally got an eggplant from our CSA! I’ve been dying to try this recipe all summer. Despite the confusing directions from Simply in Season, DH and I figured it out.
