Veggie food ideas

vegetable chilli or curry?

spicy roasted vegetables?

probably best to get ideas from the food diary of a vegetarian really - I'm sure they don't live on pizza & chips haha!

Veggie Lasagna, Homemade Veggie Soup is Awesome! Experiment in the kitchen, that's what I do! :happy: Of course I live alone now so if something turns out....yuk, I don't have to feed anyone my failed experiment! :laugh: :explode:

I have found some fun recipes on bbcfood.com such as a curry. You just find things you can cut calories on. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2027/onepot-mushroom-and-potato-curry That was devoured by people in the house. It was really good. I used a tikka masala paste rather than curry past so mine was an orange color. I have found since the change of eating to start experimenting on food that is different for you. Foods I never would have eaten or foods I thought I hated I've come to enjoy. I use to hate red bell peppers but now I use them all the time. Eggplant (or aubergine depending on your country) is so versatile and can be eaten in many forms like roasted veggies, curries, "chips" or even as a "steak".

If you're an omnivore that eats meat but you want to add veggies look at vegan and vegetarian recipes for great ideas then you can just add in meat if you want meat. You'd be surprised though how filling the dishes can be and you might even end up eating less meat if that is your goal?

There's ways to cook veg called steamed, baked, boiled and fried, I know, it can be daunting, but you might want to give those a try.:happy:

I made a soup with shredded carrots green onion yellow peppers tomatoes green beans that way I eat it before or during makind supper so I am not so starving at supper

I made black bean and sweet potato enchiladas with homemade tomatillo sauce last night. Super good and filling. I get many recipes from vegetariantimes.com

I like to do either a fajita veggie mix or a stir fry veggie mix.
* For my fajita veggie mix I throw in some sliced bell peppers and onions into a pan and cook with a little olive oil and garlic.
* For my stir fry veggie mix I'll throw in some snow peas, onion, sliced carrots, sliced bell peppers, sometimes some zucchini and cook with some garlic, olive oil and soy sauce.

You really can chop up about anything, throw it in a pan and add a few ingredients for some flavor!

Here are some of my dinner staples for you to google. I serve everything with a side of greens and sometimes rice.

Soups- Miso, Lentil, Potato Leek, Butternut Squash, Minestrone, Vegetable Stew

Indian and Middle Eastern dishes- Mujadra, Dal, Aloo Gobi, Kitchari

Oven Meals- Roasted Veggies (potato, onion, mushroom, peppers), Ratatouille
