Some Veggie Meals: Week 1

February 6th, 2010

I’m wrapping-up week 1 of my return to being a vegetarian, and what a tasty week it was. I thought I would share a few pics from some of my tasty meals.

I’m not much of a breakfast person, I usually just grab a cup (or two) of coffee, but my Coconut-Almond Oatmeal was too good not to enjoy.

One of my favorite things about vegetarian cooking, is that everything is bright and colorful. These mashed sweet potatoes brightened up a dreary winter day.

I made up a big batch of Okra Gumbo, with Brown Rice, and it was so good.

005

Dylan was even curious about the veggie gumbo, so he gave it a try. Dylan will pretty much eat anything, as long as Okra is involved.

My mashed sweet potatoes pulled double-duty in the kitchen. I used them to make a batch of Sweet Potato Cakes.

A quick Veggie Stir-fry makes a yummy lunch. I served this one with Rice and Oranges.

Time to make a shopping list for next week’s veggie meals!

    oh, the veggie rice stir fry looks yummy! In our effort to eat healthier I made broiled haddock fliets last night- soo good. Just as good as any restaurant!

    Thanks Mimi! It has been a lot of extra time in the kitchen, but I’m really enjoying being a vegetarian again. We need to swap recipes :)

    Thanks Nana! It has been a tasty week :) The kiddos are happy that I’m making regular meals for them though. It was really tough resisting Breakfast for Dinner night though…

    Thanks Heather! That sounds delicious!!!!! I’m enjoying the veggie menu, and I’ve noticed that Dylan has been really good about trying out a few veggie meals, I can’t convince Thade though ;)
