great way to focus on a few meatless meals during the week!

It’s really hard for a recipe book to actually show me something new.
I’ve been trying to incorporate more meat free dishes into our routine, hence why I grabbed this.
I’m typing this as I’m reading it, so it’ll be a bit stream of consciousness, and also to act as a list for me later on of the ones I want to try.
Not much really jumped out at me, the ones that did, unfortunately I can’t do because of bell peppers, and nightshades, eggplants… and I’m allergic to soy… which is a staple of meat free dishes. (Can you guess why I’ve never really made it as a vegetarian? lol)
But there were a few that I could alter or risk it.
The Grilled Caprese Quesadillas would be so yummy for me. Doubt I could get my picky eaters to have that.
Maybe the Lentil Loaf if I get it very the texture just right. I’ve only just gotten them to enjoy meatloaf, so that is a big ask to then switch it.
The Tasty Lentil Tacos seem like something I would want to try.
And you can’t go wrong with Cheddar Bean Burritos. That is the one thing I miss about the US, being able to get a bean and cheese burrito pretty much anywhere.
Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Bake… hmmm I just got the kiddos eating Tomato soup (I can’t do much of it myself, but they don’t have issue, so that is one I’ll have occasionally)
Mmmmm Nachos.
And there it is Italian Herb Lentil Patties with Mozzarella… probably the thing I could convince them is meatloaf the most.
Hearty Chickpea Potpie sounds good.
Apple, White Cheddar and Arugula Tarts – I cannot stand arugula, but I know something bitter would be needed to offset the apple.
Refried Bean Tostadas… mmm…
Spinach and Artichoke pizza… I’ve been doing that one for years. One of my faves. Can’t get the 7 or 3 year old to eat it though.
Summer Squash Flatbreads… if only I could get yellow summer squash here. Le sigh. Some day I will get it to grow and I will get to enjoy it again.
The Market Basket Soup reminded me how much I love Kohlrabi, but unfortunately can’t get here in the UK unless I grow my own… and British weather being what it is, makes it not great.
Hmmm though I need to cut out dairy (I cannot go vegan because I love cheese too much, but I really do need to cut down dairy), I wonder if I could get the kiddos to eat the Hearty Potato Soup, it seems simple enough they might go for it.
I’ll have to try the French Onion Soup, maybe as a lunch for me situation and just not add the cheese until the time to eat.
Okay… the Shredded Gingered Brussel Sprouts… I’m willing to give that a try. Might make the traditional English X-Mas meal more tolerable if I find a way to convince the extended family to eat them any way other than boiled to death.
Hmmm I could possibly get the kiddos to try the Mexican Street Corn Bake…
Oooh That Farmers Market Orzo Salad… that looks yum. Again, unfortunately the yellow squash that makes it pop is lacking here.
I really do need to try Black Bean Brownies some day…
All in all.. not bad. My only thoughts was that I would have actually liked to have pictures for ALL the recipes, not just most. And there is definitely a Tex Mex slant on everything.

Over all an easy vegetarian book with some more semi-advanced recipes too for those looking for something different. A good portion of these recipes can have meat subbed in them for those in the family who aren't on a vegetarian diet (while I eat more vegetarian dishes, my husband does not, and it's hit or miss with my kids) In fact the back section of the book has a section with recipes listed, page number, and what meat options are recommended to use with them.

Lots of Ideas
So, I'm usually pretty jaded with cookbooks as the vast majority are standard recipes with one ingredient changed or some secret tip. I was pleasantly surprised to find lots of great idea in this book and took the time to write out a number of them! Definitely looking forward to trying them out over the next few weeks!
