• Recipe #2: Curried Carrot Coconut Soup  (Note: if you don't have a dutch oven just use a soup pot and cut the carrots smaller so they cook quicker.)
• Recipe #3: Baked Broccoli Macaroni and Cheese  (Note: active cooking time is about 30 minutes baking time is about 20 minutes.  I make 3 changes - (1) I use whatever pasta I have on hand, (2) I add in a few shakes of whatever spices I have around - red pepper flakes, paprika, parsley, oregano...any/all are really good in this dish and (3) I mix in whatever regular fat cheese I have on hand to add just a bit more flavor).
