I thought some of you might appreciate this category. This is what the speaker of the "Healthy Moms, Healthy Families" workshop was advocating.
From my understanding, these recipes need to be completely animal product free - so no meat, no fish, no dairy, no eggs. I might be missing something. Feel free to correct me. The four food groups that the speaker listed are whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables.

Hummus - by Jode
Hummus - I use this as a spread on sandwiches. I also use it as a tortilla chip dip.
1/4 cup Tahini (I had to go to local food co-op to purchase)
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
2 large garlic cloves, pressed
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
3 Tbsp. hot water
19-oz can garbanzo beans, drained (also known as chickpeas)
In small bowl, combine Tahini, cumin, salt, and garlic - while stirring, slowly pour in lemon juice, then hot water. Puree garbanzo beans in food processor. Add Tahini mixture and process well.
Optional: Could garnish with parsley
Could add 2 tsp. honey
