Lentil and Goat Cheese Salad

Cook lentils and chopped carrot in water like pasta just until lentils are soft. Drain and add a very light coating of balsamic vinaigrette. Gently stir in crumbled goat cheese to taste.

Grilled Zucchini with Oregano

Slice zucchini 1/2 inch thick. Toss with a bit of olive oil to coast; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and oregano and grill to cook, turning once.

Grilled Bread with Mushrooms

Slice crusty bread, brush with oil, and grill just to toast bread. Brush portobello mushrooms with oil; grill to cook through. Chop cooked mushrooms and serve on grilled bread. (You can pulse mushrooms in a food processor and make a spread for bread if desired.)
