Grilled Polenta with Puttanesca Sauce: Tuesday, May 20, 2025
Puttanesca sauce is a favorite in my house. Puttanesca is usually a spicy sauce using seasonal vegetables. We get many of tonight’s “seasonal” vegetables year-round in our supermarkets.
This version of Puttanesca sauce also has some plant-based Italian sausage thrown in to ratchet up the spicy element.
We’ll use leftover polenta and marinara sauce tonight.

Middle Eastern Chicken Kabobs with Saffron Rice, Sunday, May 11, 2025
This is a pretty basic Middle Eastern dinner. These Kabobs really work with plant-based Chick’n pieces. The Saffron Rice is an ancient Middle-Eastern standby and you’ll enjoy the coolness of the cucumber/tomato salad to top it off. Add a piece of warm pita bread to the mix and you’ve got a lovely meal.
If you’re having trouble finding saffron, or if it’s not a spice you like, substitute a combination of 1/2 tsp. turmeric, 1/4 tsp. ground coriander, 1/4 tsp. ground cumin,1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon and 1 tsp. honey in place of the saffron in the rice.
