Quick and Easy Vegetarian Food

Quick and Easy Vegetarian Food

You could have knocked me over with a feather the day I heard that my son Damon had decided to become a vegetarian. The reason I was so surprised was that hes not keen on vegetables. I have always known that he doesn’t like fish or pork but he was a keen steak eater and likes other meats like ham etc. Anyway Damon is married to the gorgeous Nicole, so I didnt have to worry about preparing that vegetarian food for him. That was lucky! Even though I was surprised, I was happy to support him in this new way of eating although I wasn’t planning on joining him. Damon has kept this up for a number of months now and Nic has gotten used to cooking this way so all is well.

Today I am offering you an easy Vegetarian recipe as I am hearing more and more that it can be healthy to eat a couple of meatless meals every week.

Cabbage and Cheese Pasta Bake

Ingedients

Shredded Cabbage

1 cup cheddar cheese

2 cups cooked pasta ( any kind)

fresh breadcrumbs

Now:

In a baking dish put layers of the cabbage, pasta and grated cheese

Sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs and grated cheese

Bake in the oven  at 350F for 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and crisp.

Enjoy!

Christmas is 12 weeks away and I am holding Christmas Dinner at my house this year. Because Damon and Nic will be here I need to  offer some vegetarian food this year. Because it is so hot here at Christmas I usually have cold roasted meat and have hot roasted vegetables. I probably will do that again this year but I will also add some other non meat items as well,  like my Tomato/ onion bake which is delicious.

Heres the recipe.

Tomato/ Onion bake

Ingredients:

2 cans chopped tomatoes

3 big onions

Breadcrumbs

Butter

Grated Cheddar cheese

Now:

I like to cook off the onions in some butter in the microwave, as then the dish cooks a lot quicker.

Layer the onions and the tomatoes in a casserole dish

Sprinkle the grated cheese and the breadcrumbs on top and dot with butter.

Cook in the oven on 350F for about 1 hour till it is bubbling and golden and crisp on the top.

Enjoy!
