Meatless Menu

I’m alive! I’m here!

I didn’t realize it had been over two weeks since the last post. Sheesh. That’s bad. What have I been doing? One thing I’ve been doing is RUNNING. Fourteen miles last week – WOOT! Which is like crazy stuff for me. But I’m feeling great.

Other things… I’ve been trying out some vegetarian meals. The hubs and I have decided we want to try to eat less meat, so I’ve been hitting the cooking sites looking for new recipes to try out. Here are some of my favorites we’ve had so far

Martha Stewart

These calzones are filled with broccoli and cheese and they are yummy. I upped the health quotient a bit with my favorite whole wheat pizza dough recipe (which I run in my stand mixer with the dough hook for a few minutes instead of kneading to keep it super easy). I made a triple batch of these and threw a bunch in the freezer for easy lunches and dinners. Score!

How about roasting some eggplant and red pepper and chopping them up, throwing them on a whole grain baguette with some feta cheese spread, and chowing down? That’s a good idea. I don’t have a picture, so you’ll have to trust. These are YUMMMM. (See the extra M’s? This is serious.)

And here’s what to eat when you are feeding dedicated carnivores and veg-heads together:

Juevos Rancheros Verdes. I usually whip up some fresh guac with these, and I may bake up a few corn tortilla chips to go with.

What are your go-to vegetarian entree recipes? Do you have any good ones that aren’t loaded up with cheese? I notice that I tend to compensate for lack of meat with cheese.
