We are well into the year and our plan for trying new vegetable dishes is going well. This past Sunday we had two new-to-us recipes which were both a success. The first came from the Vegetable of the Day book I got for Christmas; Two-Pea Sauté with Basil & Pecorino. The combination of English and sugar snap peas, along with lemon, basil and pecorino cheese was delicious. The flavors were bright and fresh, perfect for the first weekend of spring even if the temperature outside was not!

Our entree was a Mushroom and Leek Galette with Gorgonzola from America’s Test Kitchen. This was a dish I had been meaning to try for awhile now. It was full of shiitake mushrooms and leeks, encased in flaky pastry dough with just the right amount of thyme and gorgonzola for added flavor. The boys (who were a little dubious at first) pronounced it good, and two even had seconds.

Meatless Mondays have been becoming more and more popular over the past few years as a way to kick off the week in a healthy way. Somehow in our house it has turned into Meatless Sundays as we sample more and more vegetable entrees – not a bad thing at all!
