Healthy Vegetarian Recipes
Welcome to my Site Offering Healthy Vegetarian Recipes
This site may ultimately prove to be something of a challenge for me, as if there is one thing I cannot claim to be, it is a vegetarian. That, however, does not preclude me from creating healthy and tasty vegetarian recipes, nor from - on occasion! - actually enjoying them, especially as I was raised by a vegetarian mother. I hope here to give all vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike some fresh ideas for spicing up their diets, bearing in mind the obvious limitations and restrictions which apply. I hope that the vegetarians among you will ultimately - if nothing else - at least appreciate my efforts.
The recipe for my, "Avocado on French Toast," (pictured above left) can be found on my main food site on Squidoo by accessing this link, Healthy Cooking Recipes

Healthy Tomato, Basil and Garlic Pizza Omelette Recipe
A slightly different take on a traditional Spanish omelette recipe
This dish is strictly neither an omelette nor a pizza, but thoroughly enjoyable, whatever you may choose to call it! If one considers the ingredients alone, it is definitely more of an omelette than a pizza but it is more than robust enough to cut into segments and eat by hand.You will need:
3 mediums sized, free range, organic eggs
2 medium sized tomatoes (deseeded and chopped)
6 large fresh basil leaves (roughly torn)
1 garlic clove (finely chopped)
1 outside slice of semi-stale bread
1oz (25g) of cheddar cheese (roughly grated)
Salt/freshly ground black pepper
Sunflower oil
Break the eggs in to a bowl and whisk vigorously. Put the bread flat in the palm of one hand, outside down, and with your other hand, rub backwards and forwards to crumble the inside in to the bowl with the egg. Add the basil, season with salt and pepper and stir well.
In a small, non-stick frying pan, drizzle a little sunflower oil and bring gently up to a heat. Add the garlic and tomato and fry off for a couple of minutes before distributing it evenly around the pan and carefully adding the egg mix. Put your grill on to heat up to maximum.
When you can see that the omelette is set almost to the top (about 3 to 4 minutes,) transfer the pan to underneath the grill. After a minute or two, the omelette should be fully set and start to rise slightly, due to the yeast in the bread. Sprinkle over the grated cheese and return to the grill until the cheese begins to bubble then serve immediately.
Stop Press!! - How to Can Vegetables
Do you realise how much money you could save?
How much of your family budget each month - each year - goes on buying canned vegetables or vegetables in jars such as this beetroot? Why not make some quick attempt at figuring it out?Do you realise how relatively easy it is to can your own vegetables at home? Yes, you may have the initial outlay of buying the pressure canner but if you search such as Amazon.com, you may find some surprising bargains.
The money which can conceivably be saved by learning how to can vegetables yourself at home - particularly for a large family - could be staggering.

Broccolli and Cauliflower Cheese with Chips Recipe
A slightly different take on traditional cauliflower cheese and a healthy way to make chips
This recipe will make enough for two people. You will require:2 large potatoes (peeled and cut in to chips)
1 small head of cauliflower (split in to florets)
1 small head of broccolli (split in to florets)
2oz (50g) of unsalted butter
2oz (50g) plain flour
1/2 pint (280ml) of semi-skimmed milk
2oz (50g) of grated cheddar cheese
8 to 10 back and forward gratings of fresh nutmeg kernel
Olive oil
Salt
Put your oven on to preheat to 200 degrees centigrade or equivalent. Parboil the chips for five minutes in some lightly salted water. Drain them well and place them in to a large bowl with enough olive oil to ensure thay are all well coated following a careful stir. Put them on to a baking tray and in to the oven for 30 minutes.
Ten minutes before the chips are due to be ready, put the broccoli and cauliflower on to boil in some lightly salted water and begin your sauce. Heat the milk in a small saucepan then pour it in to a jug. Melt the butter slowly in the same pan and add the sieved flour to form a "roux." Cook off the flour for a few minutes then add the milk in stages to form a thick, glossy sauce, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon. Add the nutmeg and the cheese.
Drain the vegetables and put them on a plate with the chips, pouring the sauce on top as required.
Variety in a Vegetarian Diet
Is this a problem for you?
I have often heard it said that one of the biggest problems faced by vegetarians is including sufficient variety in their diet. Whether that be on grounds of nutrition, taste or whatever is irrelevant - it can still be a major issue.If you would like some tips on varying a diet of any nature whatsoever, as well as the recipe for this delicious chickpea and tomato salad, click on the following link:

- Great section on "Fat fighting foods" where I picked up a lot of info I didn't know about before. If you combine these everyday foods, that use up more calories in digestion than they contain, with cardio wokouts using tone stomach exercises and other body areas, you will soon notice the body fat starting to disappear. Nice lens with a big variety of stuff.
