Several days ago we tried a great new vegetarian dish, a "meatless loaf" made with lentils and rice. It was delicious. My wife found the recipe in a magazine, and I'll try to find an online version and publish it in Wednesday's "Green Choices" post!

The combination of soy sausage, bell pepper, boysenberry jam, and hot salsa sounds horrible to me. The baked ratatouille, on the other hand, sounds delicious.
The vegetable soup is very similar to a Pasta Fagioli I made last week. See the recipe here:

Just substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth for a vegetarian version. I thought the celery needed more cooking time as it was too crunchy for soup, and I don't recommend using tomato sauce as it makes it too thick. A can of diced tomatoes can take the place of the peeled/chopped fresh ones if you want to save time.
Don, out of this week's recipes, the ratatouille sounded like the one I'd really like to try.
I really like pasta e fagiole, but Deb hasn't been making it. Not sure if she has a recipe or not. I'll give her the one from your link. Thanks!
We also like minestrone, and Deb makes that occasionally. We substitute vegetable broth in numerous recipes-- works great! Deb makes her own from fresh vegetables!
