Does anybody know of any good vegetarian recipes, whether it be for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert?
Thanks!
54Are there any good vegetarian recipes out there?
Ah, I know what that is like.
A cookbook that I bought a couple years ago, ';Better than Peanutbutter and Jelly'; has some good ones. You can find it on Amazon.com.
Recipes I've tried from that book that were great:
-Where's the tuna salad
-Banana bread
-pumpkin cookies
-Apple squares
-A thing with baked root vegetables
-chili
And, that cookbook aside, you can make veggie kabobs with tofu cubes. You just get those wooden skewers, pick some kind of marinade in a packet, and marinate veggies and tofu with it, then skewer them and broil them.

My favorite vegetarian dinner is a lentil bean bake
I use 2 400g cans of kidney beans
1 %26amp; a half cups of cooked green lentils
1 bunch of curly kale chopped roughly
600g of chopped canned cherry tomatoes (roma are fine otherwise)
Lots of cajun seasoning
2 teaspoons of physillium husk (obviously not a flavor thing, just for some roughage!)
Salt %26amp; Pepper
1/2 a cup of shredded tasty cheese or soy cheese if you're after a vegan recipe
Combine all ingredients but the cheese in a large bowl %26amp; season with cajun spices until it tastes to your liking, transfer to a casserole dish %26amp; sprinkle with cheese. Cook on medium heat until hot %26amp; bubbling %26amp; the cheese is brown.
Serve with mashed potato or Brown Rice
I found some new ideas for you.
