Uh oh... now what?
Thank you Mandy.
The Veggie Casserole thing:
This is about as close as a recipe will get:
http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/07/mexican-lasagna-or-enchilada-casserole.html
I substitute Anaheim or pasilla peppers for the jalapeño pepper.
Usually use two or three kinds of beans (red, black, Anasazi, peruano...)
It says two cloves of garlic, I use the whole bulb, crushed
Make about half the beans into refried (frijoles refritos)
When it comes out of the oven, top it with freshly chopped green
onions, salsa, mushrooms, shredded lettuce... sour cream?
I usually make two pans, cutting the second one up in serving
size squares and freeze them (they have been eaten as long as
two months after cooking, sort of by accident--they were in the
back of the freezer).

I should have said I don't add the corn but I do add quinoa to make it a little more filling.

I just found this one and thought it would fit the description:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/27/health/quinoa-salad-with-avocado-and-kalamata-olives-recipes-for-health.html?src=rechp&_r=0
I have not tried it yet, but the recipes of the NYT that I have tried so far were all keepers!
Run for fun.
ok...much much better...
My favorite quinoa recipe:
Quinoa, Corn and Bean Salad
1 cup uncooked quinoa 2 cups water 1 cup corn 1 can (15 oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed 1 large tomato, chopped
1 large avocado, chopped ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional) Dressing: 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil ½ tsp grated lime peel 2 Tbsp lime juice 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar 1 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt ¾ tsp chili powder 1 garlic clove, minced In a 2-quart saucepan, combine quinoa and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Place in strainer; rinse with cold water to cool. Drain well. Place in large serving bowl. (I just let it cool in the fridge because I am lazy.) Meanwhile, in small nonmetal bowl, combine all dressing ingredients; blend well. Refrigerate. Add beans, corn, tomato, avocado, cilantro and dressing to quinoa; mix well. Cover; refrigerate at least one hour to blend flavors.

Something I frequently do for lunch:
1 avocado, diced
Splash of lime juice
Pinch of salt (optional)
Chili powder (more if you like it hot, less if you don't)
Mash all of that together
Open 1-5 oz. can of tuna (I use chunk white albacore), blend into avocado stuff
Scoop onto crackers or toast or roll up in a tortilla. A serving for me is about half the batch. So, one batch works good for two people. You could use chicken instead of tuna if you like. I've never tried it, but tofu might also work well.

Ok, here is a dessert one that you can make to throw off people (have them try to guess what it is). Warning, not low cal or 'healthy'
Avocado
Heavy Whipping Cream (do not substitute)
whip till it's basically a mousse, add powdered sugar until desired sweetness. Fridge. Serve.
Sometimes you can incorporate an acid (I like a little lime).
It will really freak out those who have never had it.
jneilt, you beat me to posting a non-healthy recipe.
Box cake remix- guinness style
1 dark chocolate box cake mix
1 can/bottle of guinness
oil
eggs
chocolate chips (I prefer the mini chocolate chips or the chunks)
Make the cake mix according to the box's instructions but sub guinness for water. Then add in desired about of chocolate chips. Bake according to box. Frost with chocolate frosting or you can make bailey's frosting like I do and serve. I prefer to let the baked cake sit (wrapped or covered) for a day because the guinness flavor is stronger the next day.
These are some tasty cookies!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Yields about 4 dozen 1 cup canned pumpkin (I used 1 can) 1 cup white sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 egg 2 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp milk 1 Tbs vanilla 2 cups chocolate chips (I used 1C chocolate & 1C PB chips) 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional - I omitted this) Preheat oven to 350 Combine pumpkin, sugar, vegetable oil and egg. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Dissolve the baking soda with the milk and stir it in to the pumpkin mixture. Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and mix well. Add vanilla, chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by the spoonful on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes (the original recipe said 10 minutes but mine were all closer to 15 min).
Those ARE amazing cookies, folks. I ate more than a few.
