MOLLIE KATZEN'S COZY ORZO WITH COTTAGE CHEESE
This is super easy, healthy comfort food from Mollie Katzen's cookbook, "Vegetable Heaven", where she refers to it as a grown-up mac 'n' cheese. I prefer it served warm, so that the cottage cheese melts. You can also add a little lemon juice.

Steps:
- Combine the cottage cheese, salt, chives or scallions, lemon zest, and black pepper in a medium-sized bowl, and mix well.
- Cook the orzo in plenty of rapidly boiling water until it is tender. Place the peas in a colander in the sink, and drain the pasta right into the peas. (This will defrost the peas and cook them slightly). Shake off the excess water, transfer the orzo and peas to the cottage cheese mixture, and stir gently. Sprinkle with grated cheese, and serve warm or at room temperature, in bowls.

ROASTED EDAMAME WITH GARLIC AND OLIVES
This is based on a recipe in Mollie Katzen's "Vegetable Heaven." She uses lima beans instead of edamame, but I've discovered that edamame is yummier. Back when I made it with limas, I had a friend who hated both lima beans and olives, and still begged me to make this dish all the time, so try it, even though the ingredient combination sounds weird! At least around here, sliced green olives are nowhere to be found, and whole ones tend to come either with the pit intact or stuffed with something, unless you go to a fancy store with an olive bar. I use the ones stuffed with garlic, slice them myself, and cut down the amount of garlic accordingly.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Put all the ingredients (no, you don't need to thaw the edamame) in a loaf pan, and add salt and pepper if desired. Remember: olives are salty, so you might not want more salt.
- Mix everything well.
- Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the garlic is tender.
- Stir, and if desired, drizzle with more olive oil.
- Enjoy! (It's especially good scooped up with corn chips.).

SAVORY VEGETABLE CHEESECAKE
This delicious main-dish cheesecake comes from Mollie Katzen's "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest," which is a delightful vegetarian cookbook. A wonderful way to use us those garden veggies. It is also wonderful served as an appetizer that guests can spread onto little pieces of toast.

CAULIFLOWER, RICE & SWISS CHEESE CASSEROLE
This delicious, vegetarian casserole is only slightly changed from Mollie Katzen's "Cauliflower Maranca" (Moosewood Cookbook). My version uses less mushrooms, and adds toasted walnuts. The flavors blend perfectly for a nice side, or even for a complete protein main dish.

GREEN BEANS & TOFU WITH CRUNCHY THAI PEANUT SAUCE
Another wonderful vegetarian recipe from Mollie Katzen's cookbook "Vegetable Heaven." This is one of my favorite ways to prepare tofu, and you get the added benefits of vegetables and flavorful sauce. Keep in mind that the fresher and firmer the green beans, the better this will taste. Tastes best served with basmati or jasmine rice.

Steps:
- For the stir-fry:.
- Place the peanuts in a blender, and grind briefly until they form a coarse meal. Set aside.
- Heat a medium-sized heavy skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, and the ginger and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes, then add the crushed peanuts and the lemon zest. Cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until the peanuts are lightly toasted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- As the peanut mixture is cooking, heat a large, nonstick wok or deep skillet. Drizzle in a little oil. When it is very hot, add the tofu and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook over high heat for 10 to 15 minutes to let the water evaporate, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with lemon juice, reduce the heat, and cook for a few minutes longer. Transfer the tofu to the pan containing the peanut mixture and set aside.
- Scrape out the wok or skillet if necessary, and return to the heat. Let it get very hot, then add the remaining scant tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, add the green beans. (The pan should sizzle when they hit.) Stir-fry over high heat for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and a small amount of red pepper flakes.
- Stir-fry just a few minutes longer, or until the beans are divinely tender-crisp (mostly crisp, but just tender enough). Add the peanut-tofu mixture and toss everything together. Serve right away, over rice.
- For the peanut sauce:.
- Combine peanut butter and water in a bowl; mash and mix until uniform. Add remaining ingredients, and stir until combined. Add a little more water it you prefer it thinner. Salt to taste. Serve warm or room temperature, drizzled over hot green beans.
