• Warm the Manicotti in the oven at 350 for 10-15 minutes, or until hot. Warm the bread too.
• Toss and dress the salad.
Meal 2: Acorn Squash Soup, Tortilla Pie, and a Mezoamerican Medley of Brown Rice, Quinoa, and Amaranth
• Heat the soup; and warm the tortilla casserole in the oven, 325 for 15-20 minutes until warmed, and the cheese is melted. Be careful to not burn it.
• Serve the rice medley at room temp or warm it in a sauté pan with a little oil and a splash of water to steam it though.
Notes:
- The manicotti are actually a rolled crepe filled with Blue Moon spinach and Prairie Fruits chevre.
- Look for the amaranth in the mix, they are the very tiny translucent orbs. I really like the overall texture of the mix as well as the nutritious flavor which belies the high protein and mineral value of both the quinoa and the amaranth. All three grains are cooked together, making these high value grain dishes easy and incredibly good for you.
- Given that we had to push things to get an early delivery out to beat the storm - this was the worst possible menu for me to plan. Lots of little details, multiple steps, a baked item, and two assemble dishes. So, I hope you find comfort in these dishes on the stormy, cold nights.
