This roundup is enough to convert the most die hard carnivore. Thanks for a beautiful collection. The only challenge is where to start!

I'm making an eggplant, sun dried tomato, and gorgonzola sauce for pasta tonight. I'll post the recipe on my profile when I work out the details.

Thanks for all these inspirational recipes! I'd vote for a separate tab or channel for meatless recipe ideas...such the trend these days. I'm kind of new here -- is there any way to store links to favorite recipes on the site?
