I decided to stick with my veggies for a little bit more. I remained a vegetarian in January, and that makes thirteen months going strong. I made lots of yummy meals, and even tried out a few new recipes too.

 

I used the crock pot to make a giant batch of Chickpeas. Some of these chickpeas were made into homemade hummus, and some went into tasty burritos.

Whenever I make Chicken and Noodles for the family, I make a batch of Veggies and Noodles for me. I cook the noodles in vegetable stock, and add in whatever veggies I have on hand. Serve them along with mashed potatoes, and they are a yummy winter meal.

Homemade Breadsticks with Salad is one of my favorites.

I always keep a few types of pasta on hand in the pantry. I made a batch of Lemon Pasta with Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Green Beans. This is another great dish to use up vegetables that are hanging out in the fridge or freezer.

I’ve been on a noodle kick lately, and I wanted to try and make my own Ramen. This was an easy dish to make, and it was even vegan. My noodles turned out more Udon than Ramen.

The homemade Udon noodle soup was amazing!

I’ve been making a bunch of homemade pizzas.

I still can’t convince the kids to try the one with Broccoli.

Since the weather has been extra cold, I’ve been on a soup kick. This batch of Potato Soup turned out fantastic. I add in Cauliflower, Carrots, Cheese, Broccoli, Kale, and Corn to mine.

The soup freezes well too. It also is pretty darn delicious paired with a veggie Ruben sandwich.

Time to head back to the kitchen, I’ve got dinner to make.
