Hey all you none meatlovers, over here

Post by xrayjeeper83 »

Alright so Im seeing a new girl now and have a slight problem, she is a vegetarian. The problem isnt that shes a vegetarian, its that I love to cook and really only know how to do meat. I can cook side items out of a can/box no problem, but dont do veggy only meals. Can yall hook me up with some easy veggy meals that a meat lover might also enjoy please.

Thanks

Cool but how does she like her veggys. You know how you like yours but trying to cook for her the way you might think she likes them is your goal.

Get one of these - http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Deluxe-3-P ... =8-2-spell

You put it over a pot of boiling water, put veggies in it, put the lid on and it steams your veggies. This helps prevent me from over cooking or having soggy veggies. This method of cooking also keeps nutrients in. They come out nice every time, very easy :)

After that you have to decide how to season the veggies. I recommend a website called cooks.com. Type in the veggie and you will get back recipes that have been reviewed.

Stir fry is good and easy. So are roasted veggies. Toss them in olive oil and herbs I guess (lol, I don't cook) and bake them in the oven. You can also BBQ veggies, especially asparagus. YUM. Zucchini is great when fried in bacon fat but I guess you could also use a flavoured oil. There's also these egg bake type things. Like an omelette in a casserole dish. You can make them with cranberries, orange peel, marmalade and probably other things and it ends up really sweet and yummy.

If you do find any good recipes feel free to share them :) Kyle does all our cooking (I mostly do dishes and make cake :lol:) but we could use some recipes.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

I've been a vegetarian for about 16 years. I really love thai food and most of that is easy to make without meat. Also the company Quorn makes tasty meat substitutes.
Vegetarians taste better. Is that ok for me to say here?

Well that explains it. No wonder you had a porcupine puffer try to bite you and steal your peas!
