It is such a simple recipe. You can change it up, or dress it down.

Looking for a good vegetarian recipe?

Cows are vegitarians, Do you need a recipe to cook a roast?

Perhaps you should reread the reason as to why I'm looking to find vegetarian recipes. Also, I'm not cutting out meat entirely, just reducing it.

Too expensive, too unhealthy (at a large scale), too pollutant driven.

We get a half of a grass fed organic cow each year and it is expensive but the meat is good. I just like potatoes and veggies with my meat. I don't eat much prepared food anymore, I even make our own bread every couple of days. I like veggies but I have too many intolerances to up my intake too much more. Between being intolerant to the veggies in the balsam of peru class of veggies and tomatoes, it cuts my variety down. Then Sulfur foods are not well tolerated if I eat too much, so much for the cruciferous veggies. I also get oxylate kidney stones from eating too much of some veggies. So I am stuck with little variety. I just took a couple of nutrition classes and they were trying to say five a day with fruits and veggies. I would go nuts with that much veggies.

We make all our own bread too. It's just such a ridiculously expensive thing to buy at grocery stores. Easy to make (we don't have a bread maker either), and less than 1/10th the cost of store bought stuff. Our french baguettes cost us $4.00+ at the store, and about $0.25 if we make it ourselves. Plus they taste better.

It costs about seventy five cents to make a big loaf of bread and four rolls. I can make two italian style loafs out of it too. I usually bring one over to my daughters or the rolls. I use the bread machine for mixing, then roll it out and rise it in the oven and bake it. A comparable bread costs about four bucks a loaf here.

I enjoy saving money, we also make our own jams and pick berries in the woods to freeze and cherries to make pies out of get frozen too.

That's something I'd like to do when we move (no place for fruit baring plants around here)

i mean you could try googling "Vegetarian Recipes"

worth a shot

This slightly of the topic. But..... I know this person who has become anaphylactic allergic to sheep meat but the weird thing is that he can eat the sheeps offel and drink the sheep milk.

Sorry to go off topic just thought it's interesting but didn't warrant a thread of its own and I wouldn't know how to start a thread of my own.

I've been a vegetarian around 10 years or so. I don't cook elaborate meals- I am single and busy. What I eat depends on the season. Since it is winter I am eating vegetable soup that I made up myself. It has peas, green beans, carrots, celery, potatoes, a little rice and celeriac for the stock, and this week I used some white bean puree in addition to the celeriac. Then I also at another meal eat beans and cornbread or tortilla or rice plus a green salad. I eat peanut butter sandwiches. I'm not vegan - I sometimes eat an egg or cheese sandwich. In summer when it is hot I will likely have a fruit and vegetable (green smoothie) instead of something hot like soup.

I like vegetable stew - you just fry up masses of onions, garlic, tomatoes, potatoes and mushrooms and fresh salads. It's fast and tasty.

This guy has some good recipes. Also uses a vegan meat substitute.

I'm not quite sure I'd ever use a Vegan Meat Substitute. I'm not giving up meat after all and those are kind of 'weird' to put it lightly. Although I have had a good veggie burger before at a restaurant, made mainly of mushrooms.

you're in alberta am I right?, I've got tons of cherries and Saskatoons in the freezer if you want some Ghost.

I am a dyed in the wool meatatarian. My sister....the exact opposite. So i have had to learn some vegetarian dishes.

But i cheat. She will eat bacon (she is grossed out by fat and bones, so only eat ultra lean meats, and even that is a crap shoot), so I tend to add bacon quite a bit. But this recipe is amazing without bacon:

- several bunches of brussels sprouts, cut in half
- shallots finely chopped
- mushroom slices
- pine nuts

Toss all of it together with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in a 350 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes (when the leaves ont he sprouts that have fallen off start to turn brown). Pull it out and drizzle a healthy dose of balsamic vinegar over it, then slide back into the oven for another 5-8 minutes.

Your stomach will thank your mouth for a month.

sub almond slivers in their place.

You should be able to find slivered, blanched almonds in the baking section (next to the pine nuts). Almond slivers and pine nuts...i one or the other every day.
