Baked Ziti with Zucchini and Olives

Like I've said before, the weather has been a little erratic in NJ lately. I made this baked ziti a few days ago when it was chilly. The recipe is from the Supermarket Vegan. It's made with tomatoes, zucchini, olives, rice pasta and herbed breadcrumbs (gluten-free, of course!). I topped it off with a little Daiya cheese. I think I made too much pasta, because after I mixed everything together it seemed a little light on veggies. It was super tasty though! Served with a salad, this is a perfect meal!

Sweet and Sour Roasted Pineapple and Peppers

This recipe is from The Supermarket Vegan by Donna Klein. It's a simple dish with onions, peppers and pineapple that have been roasted in the oven for about 45 minutes. I served it with sautéed chard and brown rice.

Pineapples one of my favorite fruits! They are high in manganese, vitamins C, B1 and B6, copper and dietary fiber. Pineapples contain a compound called bromelain that is known for aiding digestion. Other compounds in pineapples are known for their antioxidant protection and immune support.
