In the Further Adventures of Jennie In the Kitchen...... Jan 31 2008

In an attempt to vary her families diet and include more veggie Jennie decided to cook a vegaterian meal
After reading and re reading and re re reading the instructions she bravely set upon her task

To Make a Long story short........never ever deicide that mashing up chickpeas, adding seasonings and frying it as patties is a good or delicious idea, YUCK!!!! Double negative points for you if you have children in the house. Also, husbands really don't like this recipe either. Its nothing that their mama or grandma would have attempted to feed them, hahahhahaha.


So, Jennie came to the conclusion that the best way to go "veggie" is to take recipes you family already likes and make them "veggie". Following are some example ( if you haven't already guessed its almost grocery day here).



Meatless Lasagna ( i use a white sauce in place of a red sauce, just only use shredded cheese on the top, i use lots of spinach and sun dried toms)
Meatless Taco Salad ( just double the amount of beans if you feel the need for protein)
Healthy Grilled Cheese with Tomato soup ( just melt cheese between two whole wheat tortillas until the tortillas are just about crispy on the outside)
Baked potato soup with fresh baked bread
Meatless pizza ( i use lots of mushrooms, and different kinds of cheese, some spinach and sundried tomatoes, i also use basil pesto in place of red sauce, its very yummy)
Minnestronie over whole wheat noodles
Portabella Burger ( i know it sounds strange but a "grilled" portabella mushroom with some yummy cheese ( provolone) is to die for, place on a toasted bun and enjoy with a salad) SO YUMMY

please let me know if you have some yummy recipes of your own, lets share!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So as you can see its all in taking your favs and changing them up, also i find cooking like this is a little more summery than say a meatfilled lasagna......so, load on the veggies and be healthy and satisfied!!!


Love Jennie
