Food post!

[wesleysgirl]

I'm starting to consider going vegetarian again. I think I just have to psyche myself into it, as well as finishing up the small amount of meat we have in the house and reminding myself of the many, many meals I used to make when we didn't eat any meat at all.

Recipes I want to try -
Banana, honey and peanut butter "ice cream"
Mary Ostyn's Maple Morning Polenta
Gingersnap Oatmeal
Pumpkin Turkey Chili (easy enough to swap veggie crumble or beans for the chili)
Light Banana Bread (love that this recipe uses real food)
Broccoli, Parmesan and Lemon

Also, must remember Post Punk Kitchen for really good-sounding vegan recipes.

that banana bread sounds so, so good. and i really love that it can be "light" banana bread without you having to use egg beaters and fake butter and splenda. yay for using real food! and also, yum. i actually want to try the banana and honey and peanutbutter smoothie fake ice cream, but i have no bananas. i bet a little cocoa powder would be good in that too.

also! i have a chili recipe i can share! if you want! it calls for ground beef but i'm sure vegetarian crumbles or something would work just as well. not sure how it stacks up on the light/lower-calorie spectrum, tho.... but it is goooood chili. and you can make a metric ton and freeze it. :D

The Boy and I are easing back into it too. Still have a few more things left in the freezer.

If you're looking for more ideas, a couple of my favorite food blogs:
Smitten Kitchen (http://smittenkitchen.com/) - my current favorite. :)
Tigers and Strawberries (http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/) - Sadly no longer being updated. Lots of good vegetarian dishes at both of 'em.

Good for you!
I'm a 35 year veggie, and no regrets.
