As I approach an entire year of vegetarianism, I must tell you that it has been quite the journey. I actually caught the Vegetarian: Tasty Recipes for Every Day (Complete Cookbook Series) on sale at the bookstore and decided to buy it because the recipes appeared to be quite simple to prepare. I have been using this book to prepare meals and the seal of approval is usually my son (who is not a vegetarian).
A few of the recipes he has even asked for as a dinner request. I recommend this book because it is not one of those cookbooks that assumes you have to be a chef and have all of these advanced tools in order to prepare a meal. My cooking style is 'down home', 'up the country' cooking so all of those tools and things - not so much.
I will say that this book has opened my eyes to new spices, herbs and vegetables. This journey has been amazing!
A few of the recipes that were a success have been:
- Mixed Berry Couscous: I ended up eating on this for days and multiple times per day. It tastes great cold or warm.
- Fettuccine with Zucchini: I now know how to make this without the book. This is one of the recipes my son requested over and over again.
- Poached Eggs with Garlic Yoghurt Dressing and Spinach: I actually modified the last recipe to make it my own and it was delicious!
Modified recipe
Dressing
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 small bunch of of snipped fresh chives
Meal
- 2 slices of baked Texas Toast garlic bread
- 2 fried eggs seasoned to taste (fried in butter...lol!)
- 2 handfuls of spinach leaves sauteed in garlic and butter
- 1 halved tomato sauteed in remaining butter and chives
The flavors were amazing. My energy was up and I was actually satisfied.
Note: I would have plugged in a photo of this recipe, but I starting eating before I snapped a photo. Ooops!
