Snowdrift Casserole
White and creamy, with curry providing a buttery blush, this casserole can be made with
any white meat or with tofu. If you like it can be assembled a day or two ahead to reheat in the oven or microwave. Be sure to serve brightly colored side dishes to complement this white-on-white dish. Use frozen cauliflower or bring a big, white head of caulflower and cut it into bite size.

4 cups cooked rice
2 packages, 10 ounces each, cauliflower
3 to 3 ½ cups diced, cooked white meat or tofu
2 cans condensed cream of chicken or celery soup
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon curry powder

Cook cauliflower, drain, cool and cut up any large pieces to bite size. In a 9 X 13-inch
sprayed casserole, gently mix rice, cauliflower and meat or tofu. In a medium bowl whisk soup, yogurt and curry powder and spread over rice mixture.
Microwave on High, turning every minute, until it’s heated through. Or bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees Heating times will be longer if casserole has been refrigerated first. Serves 8.

Janet Groene's Locavore Recipe

Janet Groene's
Marinated Veggies

Linger at local farmers' markets to celebrate the green movement known as locavore, or eating locally grown food. Marinate a big bag of vegetables and you’ll have enough to last one or two people for up to a week. Bring them out as a garnish, snack, relish or to add to salads. Chop and drain them to serve on hot and cold sandwiches too.

Marinade:
1 ½ cups white vinegar
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
2 tablespoons seasoned salt
2 tablespoons lemon pepper
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic granules
Vegetables:
Large cauliflower, trimmed and cut in bite size
Large green bell pepper, seeded and cut in squares
Large red sweet pepper, seeded and cut in squares
Large can pitted ripe olives, drained
2 large sweet onions, cut in bite size
2 large cans artichoke halves, drained and quartered
1 quart button mushrooms, trimmed
1 or 2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and cut in chunks

In a two-gallon zip-top bag, combine marinade ingredients and tip bag to mix well. Add vegetables, close and refrigerate 24 hours, turning occasionally. Use tongs to remove vegetables as required or serve the entire batch at a big party. To serve them all at once, use an ice pick to make holes in the bag, drain well then empty bag of vegetables into a big serving bowl. Makes 2 quarts vegetables.

Janet Groene's Spinach Salad

Spinach Dump Salad
You’ve heard of dump cakes. Now make a salad by dumping everything together in a big bowl bowl without measuring. Provisioning is easy too. Just get a package of this and a can of that. Just before serving, dress it and toss it.

10- or 12-ounce bag ready-washed baby spinach
11-ounce can mandarin oranges, drained
Medium sweet onion (such as Vidalia), sliced very thin
6-ounce package dried cranberries or cherries
4-ounce carton crumbled blue cheese
Bottled citrus vinaigrette dressing

Toss everything together and add enough bottled dressing, tossing as you go, to make the spinach leaves glossy. Serves 6 as a luncheon main dish.
