Tonight’s dinner. :)
Tilapia with mushrooms, garlic, cilantro and lime juice. Soooo good.
Sunday lunch. Homemade fish chowder! Soooo good.
Cream of mushroom soup, garlic, basil, cilantro, mozzarella cheese, cod, sea salt, ground pepper, old bay.
Spring break was MUCH needed! I had all of last week off, and tomorrow as well. GREAT food with the extra time to cook (and fresh fruits, veggies and herbs with warmer weather!) pictured: falafel (from scratch!), home-cooked breakfasts, and guacamole from scratch! Not pictured- tilapia marinated in Dijon mustard, lemon/lime juice and cilantro. :)
I also made a fort from a sheet and have read incredible amounts of Feast for Crows under said fort. :)
Dinner! Vegetarian chilli over baked potatoes with soy cheese and avocado. ;)
3 eggs, soy turkey, soy cheese, a tomato, salsa & avocado. Delicious.
Super Bowl food! Homemade (vegetarian) chilli over homemade French fries. :) potatoes currently marinating in olive oil, sea salt, rosemary, garlic, onions & pepper.
Chilli has soy “beef”, tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, onions.
Beverage would be a frozen mudslide—just add ice & blend! Soooo good.
(Also I live in Baltimore…so go ravens!)
Veggie burgers with avocado and homemade baked french fries. Sooo good. Avocado makes everything better.
Ps that’s ranch on the burger, not mayo… ew that much mayo would be so gross.
Dinner. Shrimp wraps and couscous. DELICIOUS. (did you know you can cook shrimp in the oven in 7 minutes?)
Veggie burgers and fries for dinner after a long Monday. So so good.
Enchilada casserole! So good. Soft tortillas, soy “meat” crumbles, salsa, hot sauce, soy cheese, black beans, guacamole. Next time I want to add corn inside and Mexican rice on the side!
Dinner and dessert. Dinner—pasta. It looks plain but it has olive oil, lemon & lime juice, cilantro, garlic, salt & pepper and basil. Took 10 minutes to make. ;)
Dessert- peach cobbler and peanut butter pie. Peaches are in season now!!! It tasted like heaven in my mouth.
Sunday morning breakfast with a side of kindle.
Quick, easy dinner/snack! Tomato soup, black beans, crackers.
I just cook the soup and beans in the same pan, drain the beans first. 5 minutes tops and so good! I can’t have grilled cheese anymore, and tomato soup alone isn’t filling enough.
Being a lactose intolerant vegetarian, I get asked frequently, “what do you eat?” Tons of things! Becoming vegetarian has forced me to make more healthy choices about my eating and it makes me feel awesome! I don’t eat McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, etc anymore— and I’m eating more organically (though not always!) My body feels WORLDS better!
Here’s what one of my lunches looks like that I bring to school/camp for teaching:
A wrap (lettuce, tomato, avocado, salt, pepper, and dressing. Avocado gives a ton of flavor!)
An apple
Carrots
A granola bar (I like chewy bars.)
Pretzel crisps (these one are buffalo flavored!) Often I’ll bring hummus with pretzels or carrots.
I try to get many different tastes in my lunch so I can snack on different things throughout the day. I also have a liter bottle of water that I drink every day. I almost exclusively drink water, and then lactaid milk or orange juice for calcium.
Foods from other cultures are the easiest to make vegetarian/many already are! Indian, Chinese, Italian, Thai, Israeli…
I don’t use a cookbook when making food, but I’m going to get one just for ideas of new things to try. What are your favorite vegetarian/dairy-free snacks/meals?
