Another great Staple! There are more than sixty types of flat breads worldwide, pita bread is one of the oldest. Check out this delicious fast cheap and easy chip.

Like most of Toni's favorites, is so easy to prepare. The combination of the subtle nuttiness of the bean coupled with the crisp aroma of the fresh rosemary and garlic is incredibly satisfying in any season.

A great finger food that children love. I always have a package or two of firm tofu in my freezer, so a perfect replacement for beef or chicken in any recipe is just a quick thaw away! Freezing tofu is an easy way to give the tofu the texture and flavor people crave. Easy, delicious and a terrific way to get soy into your diet. This is sure to become a family favorite.

Toni loves this soup especially because it's fast and easy taking only 20 minutes.

This is one of Toni's favorite makeovers.

Store bought roasted or baked tempeh and tofu can be quite expensive. This recipe is so easy to make and the flavor is fresh, spicy and delicious. You can control the heat by cutting back on the spices if you desire.

Chickpeas are one of my all time favorite foods and they’re jam packed with nutrition. Boasting high levels of protein, calcium, minerals and lots of fiber, chickpeas or garbonzo beans, should find their way into your weekly menu.

These super easy Tex-Mex inspired homefries are low in fat and big on flavor. They're great for breakfast sweetened with a drizzle of maple syrup, make a great light lunch, or delicious served as a side for dinner.

I grew up with a dish that was simply pasta, lightly fried onion and bacon (back in the day!) salt and pepper. This was a great dish to make in a pinch or to use up leftover pasta. Since my conversion to vegetarianism I still make this for a quick supper, but I use veggie bacon and round out the pasta with additional veggies.

Hi Toni, Great recipe, as usual! I became a vegetarian almost 4 years ago, and it was tough going at first, but with quite a bit of help from you, I am eating healthier and tastier than ever before! Dee

Delicious served with Tofu Bites, fried Tempeh or Jasmine Rice. Also wonderful served with a side of cornbread. For the printed recipe visit delicioustv.com

Cathi’s Cilantro Mint Pesto is light and delicious, with a little hint of heat from the jalapeno and brightness from the fresh lemon. There is no need to add oil, however you may if you wish!

Tofu Sour Cream is a wonderful non dairy substitute for regular sour cream. And it's so easy and delicious. This is wonderful as a base for spreads, dips or simply scooped on baked potatoes! What you can add to it is only limited by your imagination!

I have to say, roasting is one of my favorite methods of preparing vegetables. It’s so easy and in my opinion brings out the very best of just about any vegetable. This recipe boasts few ingredients but is packed with flavor and flexibility. I will serve this as a vegetable side dish or light entree. The roasted garlic is superb and the ‘drippings’ are caramelized to perfection, just waiting to be mopped up with warm bread. Try this as a savory filling for Toni's Chickpea Crepes.

Toni makes the easiest and best beets with a delicious dressing. Here's the disclaimer: If you're like Toni and worried about your manicure you might want to pick up a pair of latex gloves.

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and delicious they were prepared from scratch."

Instead of sun-dried try these tomatoes they're absoulutely delicious, and a snap to make. Oven drying enhances the sweetness while preserving tomatoes at a time. This is terrific when tomatoes are in season, affordable and abundant. Join Toni and Cathi Dicocco from cafe dicocoa.

In episode 10 (first season) of Delicious TV, Toni teams up with chef Cathi DiCocco to grill a celebration of summer vegetable abundance including: Asparagus Grilled with Lime, Garlic Roasted on the Grill, Tofu Kebobs with Tamari-Ginger Marinade, Mixed Vegetable Grill with Basic Balsamic Vinaigrette, Grilled Focaccia, Pineapple Spears, and Banana Boats. "I can't believe how many ways you can use these kebobs! Eat them right from the grill, serve over rice or nestled in pita bread, refrigerate and nibble on them for breakfast. I'm hooked!" Use any combination of your favorite vegetables for these kebobs. I particularly like sweet peppers. Don't worry if your chard is raggedy after you blanch it, if you fold the "envelopes" tightly and press them between your palms to seal them, they hold up very well! Tune in and prepare to get hungry. Check www.delicioustv.com for recipes.

Roasted and crunchy, chickpeas make a wonderful nutty treat. I love nuts, all kinds. I add nuts to many dishes and eat them often. On the other hand, I adore chickpeas with their sweet creamy center and their slighty crisp outer shell. This recipe is the perfect blend of textures and flavors. Have these on hand during cocktail hour, picnics or dropped into a salad. The roasted garlic and toasty sage are equally delicious! So for a change, when you think nuts, think Chickpeas!
