Do you want to eat well and happily without consuming dead animals? I do, although once in a while I get a craving for a steak sandwich or a homemade burger, and when that happens I indulge myself. I am not eager to give up eggs or cheese just yet, either. Maybe that will come later. While they can be all-purpose helpers in making the transition to a vegetarian diet, I try not to lean too heavily on them.
It is pretty disheartening to spend an hour or more (especially after buying expensive or unfamiliar ingredients not normally kept in my kitchen) preparing a new vegetarian recipe only to find that not only won't my kids eat it, but I can't handle more than one bite myself. Oh yes, it's happened a few times. So I am putting together the collection of simple recipes that I wish was out there, the recipes I've made and served successfully and satisfyingly: my favourites, the ones that are repeatedly seen on my kitchen table.
If you have any great-tasting, nutritious, easy-to-assemble, tried-and-true vegetarian recipes you'd like to share, send them to me. I'll try them myself and they might end up in The Vegetarian WannaBe.
