May’s Veggie Meals

I made lots of super tasty veggie dishes in May. I tried out a few new dishes, and I made it another month being a happy vegetarian.

I did some experimental Vegan baking. These were pretty tasty, and made a yummy snack.

Pasta with Okra and Tomatoes. So good!

I made a big batch of homemade Macaroni and Cheese with lots of Broccoli.

Here is a yummy vegan dish, Steak Fries, and Roasted Veggies. I had some Zucchini, Tomatoes, Broccoli, and Roasted Corn in this batch. It was so delicious!

We’ve had a few tasty homegrown Strawberries from the front porch.

This is my homemade Veggie-friendly mock rice-a-roni. Rice and Lentils and one delicious sauteed onion.

More Roasted Veggies, this time Broccoli, Cauliflower, Green Beans, and Chickpeas. Hello to a new favorite dinner of mine!

Lastly I made a big batch of baked pasta.

This is a great dish to make to clean out the pantry, and have lunch ready for a few days too.

I’m sticking with my veggie ways through June. I hope to try out a few new dishes too.

April’s Veggie Meals

April was a super tasty month. I had so much fun cooking in the kitchen, and trying out new dishes.

Pasta Salad is one of my favorite go-to Spring dishes.

Roasted Veggies have become a main-stay for Sunday nights.

I’m trying out a few vegan dishes. This salad topped with Chickpeas and Salsa Verde was delicious.

Leftover roasted veggies are pretty tasty baked with Mozzarella.

Fresh fruit makes for a easy vegan and raw dinner.

Veggie Soup and Homemade Bread is also one of my favorites.

Baked Potato bites have become one of favorite dishes. I like mine with Broccoli and extra Cheese.

I’m sticking with my veggies through the month of May, and I can’t wait to make some more tasty dishes.
