A very wonderful Sunday to you all! It is time for an episode of
What’s Cooking!
Today’s yummy trip through the blogosphere of recipes is all about Vegetarian Summer Delights
We are coming to a slow (very slow) end of the Summer…Labor Day is right around the corner and here in Jersey the kids are going back to school in a week! Vegetables are being sold in bushels at Local Markets and the bounty is abundant this time of year…so what better recipes to feature today but ones that the veggies SHINE!
Bon Appetit!!!
Let’s start with something different and a true reflection on what is in season right now. Your first reaction might be …really peaches and tomatoes…well just be assured that this creation is amazing and can be used on so many things!

2 Ways!
Traditional…
I have to tell you …this is truly one of my favorite meals…it has been for a long time (I know…I’m Italian and I do love my tomatoes : ) but there is just something about this that just makes me happy…when I make it I serve it in the traditional Korean Hot Crock…we all have our own…sizzling rice is always at the bottom of the crock and hot bean paste is added to the vegetable broth we add to it…the egg yolk when broken just blesses all of the scrumptious food with a perfect touch! I can’t tell you how much I love this dish!!!!
Now…as TasteSpotting…here is the base of Bibim kicked up a bit!
A truly awesome version!!!

I have to say by just changing out the white button mushrooms with cremini mushrooms (they are baby bellas) you enhance the taste 100 percent. This is one of those recipes that putting your own spin makes such a difference…I add zucchini…asparagus…broccoli…fresh peas and more…fennel is a nice additive but I only use 1/2 head…but you have fun with the tastes you know you adore! You just can’t go wrong with a pot pie can you! Also using your favorite pie crust is always a plus!
I have to say that this Vegetarian Chilli is really fabulous! I use chopped scallion greens and whites instead of the onions because that is what my family and I love but the rest is spot on! It was created by
