The weather is finally cooling down, just mid 70's - low 80's now and it is great.
Thursday's menu is a mix up of Italian-Mexican.
As most of my client's have issues with chili, cheeses, hot spices, dried beans, certain herbs, I have to re-configure a lot of my recipes and this menu is "one of these."
The soups are traditional ones, miso with green beans, potato-leek and a vegetable with coconut cream.
The entrees, now these are a different matter:
Today I made a basic batch of my 1 gallon tomato sauce, but lightly flavored it with dried basil, bay laurel and a "smidge" of chopped oregano I will re-post the recipe after this one

A cheesy Mexican style "Lasagna" with tempeh, carrots, celery, mushrooms, tomatillo's in a tomato-cumin based sauce, with cheese and corn tortilla layers ( in place of pasta)

A mild polenta topped "tamale "pie...eggplants cooked with onions and cumin, carrots, butternut squash, sweet corn, tomato sauce.
Topped with sliced corn polenta and grated cheese to be baked at client's home.
