Vegetable Jambalaya
This is a great weekday meal: it's quick and simple to make at the end of a long day. You don't need to worry about exact quantities of veggies: just throw them in and it always seems to work out alright! We vary the veggies we use depending on what's in the fridge. Zucchini and spinach also work in well (if using spinach, don't add until near the end of cooking time).
Risoni Salad
I copied this salad from a salad bar I went to so the ingredients amounts are based on what I use.If you want you can use more or less of each ingredients, depends on your taste spuds. Just experiment for yourself. Risoni can be bought from the pasta area of the Supermarket. Need to use Italian (international) parsley for flavour. Best made a few hours before you need it so the flavour can penetrate the Risoni. I usually make it in the morning if we have it for tea
