It looks like I need to work on my plant-based cooking.

I’m making a vegetarian dinner for the family every Sunday evening.  Tonight, I made ravioli with no-cook heirloom tomato sauce, which I got from the Whole Foods iPhone app.  The ravioli was Whole Foods’ Organic Spinach & Cheese Whole Wheat Ravioli, a frozen product that takes very little time to make–boiling the water is the most time-consuming part.

Let’s just say it was not a hit.  The no-cook heirloom tomato sauce actually was pretty good–essentially, tomatoes, spinach, basil, and balsamic vinegar.  The whole wheat pasta, on the other hand, was not terrific.  To be honest, I didn’t mind it that much, but there were others who used words such as “disgusting.”  This typically is not a word one likes to have associated with the food one makes.

I purchased a couple of vegetarian cookbooks at the end of the week.  Perhaps I’ll have more luck with those than with Whole Foods’ iPhone app.
