or
>chard, squash, and poblano stuffed enchiladas in a tomatillo salsa topped with sonoma jack and cojita cheeses and garnished with chipotle creme

As a happy omnivore, I believe that not every meal should contain meat. However, there is a certain heartiness that meat provides to any given dish that many vegetarian focused meals lack, so when planning this, I focused in on hearty, filling vegetables with a satisfying texture. Its not about replacing meat in the dishes design, my focus was entirely on making my chosen veggies delicious. Trying to replace meat with substitutes never really works (tofu, textured protein, seitan etc etc) but letting the veggies stand on their own and working with their own flavors can lead to terrific results.

I didn't make verticals this week, but I will describe all of the steps I took in making this. This one is probably the easiest to make of all of my entries thus far, but is elegant and delicious. It is as easily made in bulk for a party or potluck, or as a single serving meal. Furthermore, you could substitute pretty much anything in this recipe for ingredients of your choice (ie spinach for chard, red salsa for green salsa, asparagus for squash...)
