I'm new to this group, and love to look at new recipies. However, I can't use most of them since I only cook vegetarian for my vegetarian daughter. I run out of ideas quickly and was wondering if anyone has any recipies they would like to share. Thanks.
We usually have pasta when we are having a meat-free day. I'm pretty sure there are a few other vegetarian mommas on here so hopefully someone can help!
Yeah, we are kind of the same way. DH doesnt love veggies enough to make a meal of it. My mom makes a cabbage stew though thats really healthy and good. Tastes like regular vegetable soup but very low cal. If i was making that a meal I would have it with a baked potato or something like that.

Oh, stuffed peppers. I make mine with sausage but I am sure you could sub out the sausage and replace it with a bean!

This is the recipe I use:
STUFFED PEPPERS
(The original recipe called for brown rice, I
substitute quinoa)
4 large red or green peppers
1 T olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 stalks celery, diced
1 t cumin
1 t chili powder
1 t basil
½ tsp oregano
2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
1 ½ cups cooked and drained red kidney beans (or
one can; really, any bean will do)
2 T tamari
Cayenne to taste
1 ½ cups canned tomatoes with their juice
1 small can tomato paste
Thinly sliced cheese (optional)
Wash the peppers and cut them in half length wise. Remove the
seeds. Place the peppers, cut side down, on a rack above boiling water. Cover the pot and steam for
about 10 min or until they are just beginning to get soft. DO NOT
STACK ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER...they will not steam evenly. Heat the
olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onions, celery, cumin,
chili powder, basil and oregano. Saute until the onions are almost
tender. Add the cooked quinoa and beans. Mix well; then add the
tamari and the cayenne to taste. Mix again. Lightly oil a shallow 7
x 11 inch baking dish. Fill each pepper
with the bean and quinoa mixture and place the peppers side by side in
the baking dish. Mix together the canned tomatoes and the
tomato paste. If the tomatoes are whole, chop them up or break them
up with a fork. Pour the tomato mixture over the stuffed
peppers. Cover the baking dish with
foil and bake at 350´ for 30 minutes. Uncover the dish and top each pepper
with a thin slice of cheese if desired. Return the dish to the
oven and bake an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted
Hi, here's a veggie recipe site I googled...
http://www.theveggietable.com/recipes/easyrecipes.html
I made this up last night because we were running low on groceries, lol
1 cup wild rice mix (we use the Texamati Wild Rice Blend)
2 cups water
1 veggie bullion cube (We used the NotChicken)
1 can sweet potatoes
1 cup cooked Great Northern Beans
3 vegetarian sausage patties
combine all and put in a baking pan, cover with foil and bake at 400 for 1 hour...my 6yr old is eating cold leftovers of it as wekspeak, lol...it made a LOT of food
This is my favorite source of vegetarian recipes: http://www.vegkitchen.com/. Great nutritional information, too!
