I have lot's of recipes.  Here's the kind of stuff I made:

Garlicky Spaghetti

Walnut and Olive Pasta
Fruit and Coconut Rice
Macaroni, Cheese and Tomato
Rice with Fruit and Nuts
Lentil and Vegatable Biryani
Potato Lentil Bake

Kale with Mixed Rice
Kidney Bean Risotto
Midweek Medley

Thai Noodles

Noodle and Mango Salad
Spinach Lasagna
Mushroom and Cheese Risotto

All of these recipes worked very well with this approach.  In fact
there was only one recipe I tried that didn't work.  It used millet
which resulted in an extremely gritty taste when ground up.  (yes,
millet is the same stuff that's used in bird food)  Also, there was a
point in which adding too many nuts to a recipe created an
undesirable texture.  I can't remember off hand what it was though.

Uhhh ... as far as typing up all my recipes into an e-mail ... that
should be ready sometime around the year 2010.
