Simple dishes for great eating..Vegetarian and Vegan at it's best

OK, so in Britain today is a public holiday called Boxing Day, traditionally when the horses race and folks go to the stores en masse to hunt for afterChristmas bargains.
Sad that it is not observed anywhere else.

As most of my client's are away visiting family out of state, my menu is small, but very very good winter weather dishes that make the most of vegetables.

Two blended soups a zucchini with thyme and a sweet potato (garnet yam) with carrot finished with  grated nutmeg

A great chunky packed with vegetables, Provencal Sauce for pasta...own grown eggplants, mini yellow and orange bell peppers and butternut squash( substituted for zucchini), makes a warm colored and inviting, fragrant sauce.
This is finished with red wine, avocado oil and chopped black olives ( as it has it's own depth of flavor there is no need for cheese, so it becomes a great Vegan dish).
Added herbes d' Provence and topped with fresh chopped rosemary, this is a BOLD sauce and a winner in wintertime.

For dessert  Fresh ( flash frozen this summer) Raspberry Bars to be cut at client's home. These are a great vehicle for fresh fruit and oatmeal adds to the texture, also made with whole wheat flour, dairy butter and brown sugar...enjoy the photos:
