Vegeterian Tips: While everyone else that you are with is chomping down on huge T Bone steaks and French fries, you can turn a side salad and baked potato into your meal, if nothing else is available.

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 1 large red onion – thinly sliced
  • 2 small zucchini – sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 2 small yellow summer squash – sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 or 2 large ripe tomato – cut into chunks
  • Big handful of fresh bazil — chopped

Directions:

“Saute” red onion in a pan that has been lightly sprayed with Pam and
wiped and to which a tablespoon or two of water has been added, until
soft. Add squash and saute for about five minutes, turning every so
often. Add tomato and basil — cover and cook for another five
minutes, or so, until everything has blended nicely together.

I”ve been making this dish for years . . . it”s easy and yummy
. . . good hot or cold. I try to make it with both yellow squash and
zucchini — but I generally use whatever I have on hand. This makes
generous servings for two — served over rice as a main meal. Or, I
use it as an side dish for dinner and for lunch the next day.

Serves:

Vegeterian Tips: Water water water! It s been said over and over again for a reason because its true! Most people don t drink nearly enough. Bring a water bottle with you wherever you go and invest in a simple filter for your home. Water is especially important when adjusting to a new way of eating, as it will help curb any cravings you may experience.

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 6 beets (medium size)
  • 5 carrots
  • 15 pole beans
  • 2 bunches of spinach
  • 2 bunches of broccoli
  • 1 small cabbage
  • 4 tomatoes
  • 2 cups of protein powder
  • 4 big onions
  • 2 spoons of turmeric powder
  • 12 cloves
  • 6 spoons of dried chilli powder
  • 2 medium sized pieces of ginger
  • 10 petals of garlic
  • 1 spoons fulls of curry spices like vegan mustard seeds etc
  • 3 cups of oil (roughly)
  • curry quantity: about 9 litres

Directions:

Suggestion: For the first time take a quarter size of all proportions
and adjust later as per your preferences Remember this recipe was made
to max all good vegetables with protein in one source which can be
stored and served daily. You can eat it every day and will never stop
it because it has all good things for great health.consult any body
who has curries making experience to guide you for the first time
because the concept is based on curries for great taste.

Cut small pieces of all vegetables. Take small portions of all the
vegetables and add to the boiling water container in the order boiling
time.for example add beets,crrots,beans together first and boil them
together for some time before adding spinach, cabbage, broccoli
(stems+flower peices). We are making sure no vegetable is over cooked
or under cooked by this. More over minimum water is maintained in the
container just enough for slow steam cooking. after all the pieces
mentioned are well cookeda(just soft enough),add some salt and a
little turmeric powder. Now slow down heat for a while.Mean while
prepare protein powder milk (by mixing protein powder in hot water)
and boil the thick milk for 4 minutes to remove the smell from the
milk.Now add the protein powder milk to the boiling vegetables and
stir thoroughly. After proper mixing keep it on low heat. In a
separate container heat corn oil to a high temperature(slight vapors
to be observed). Stop heating .add curry spices like mustard seeds
etc. (as per your own preference of curry spices). Before curry spices
are browned add green chilli pieces,finely cut ginger and garlic. Be
careful while adding this because the oil is hot and frothing ca
occur. So oil pan should be out of the stove to avoid frothing oil
falling on to the heater. After this add onion pieces and start
heating oil again till the onion pieces are slightly browned. Now add
this oil (with onions,ginger,garlicand spices) to the slow boiling veg
mixture (having very little water content),and stir it
thoroughly. Increase the heat and mix it for 7 minutes. Now add tomato
pieces to this and stir it. Now dried chilli powder is added to this
and salt is also added to suit your taste. stir for 10 minutes
thoroughly and add increments of salt and chilli powder as per
taste. Now break cloves in to small pieces add to the curry stir it
and stop heating soon.close the lid for 30 minutes for flavor of
cloves to get in to curry. For best taste eat this curry with rice
mixed thoroughly. What you eat is a complete food in one form. The
taste is great and it is richer in protein(better than any meat). I
made this curry 5 times so far and taste was improved each time
varying proportions of components.

Vegeterian Tips: Reduce your refined sugar intake. I ve got as much of a sweet tooth as anybody, but I try to keep it under control by using such sugar replacers as maple syrup, stevia and agave whenever possible such as in coffee and tea and indulging in the refined stuff only occasionally.

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 8-12 small new potatoes
  • 2 or 3 sprigs fresh rosemary (20-40 leaves in all)
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:

This is my wife”s rosemary potato recipe. She doesn”t measure the
ingredients, so quantities are approximate (and aren”t important
anyway).

The potatoes become crusty on the outside and creamy on the inside,
and perfused with a lovely rosemary and olive oil flavour.

Scrub, but do not peel the potatoes. Halve or quarter lengthwise. If
only larger potatoes are available, cut into wedges. The pieces
should be 1 to 1 1/4 inch thick at the thickest part. You want them
to be uniform so the pieces cook evenly.

Heat the oil over moderate heat in a large frying pan. Place the
potatoes, cut side down in the pan, cover, and cook on moderately low
heat for 25-35 minutes. As each side becomes browned, turn the
potatoes so all sides become brown and crusty. After half the cooking
time, add the rosemary. Potatoes are done when all sides are browned
and the insides are soft. Serve immediately. The rosemary may
optionally be served as well.

Vegeterian Tips: Read the sandwich descriptions on your menu. Most would be quite tasty and still filling without the meat. Just make sure to tell your server that you want to hold the chicken or roast beef, and to double up on the veggies and cheese.

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 5-8 good-sized potatoes
  • 4-5 tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil
  • White or black ground pepper to seaso
  • 2 teaspoons of chopped garlic (use garlic in soy oil if available)
  • Add various dry and ground herbs to season.

Serves: 2-4.

Preparation time: 30 minutes.

Slice potatoes into pinkie finger-sized slices.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Then add olive or vegetable oil to coat potato slices.

Mix until all potato slices are uniformly coated with ingredients.
Arrange slices on two baking pans.

Bake for 20-30 minutes to suit eating style. Turn slices every five
minutes until done to taste preference. This is important for best
tasting potatoes. After 15-20 minutes of baking and turning slices,
reduce heat to 350 degrees. Take out potaoes and place in large bowl
for a feast.

Prepare mixture of catsup and tabasco sauce or any other concoctio
you may like to dip the potato slices in! Bon Appetito!

Vegeterian Tips: Order different side orders such as various vegetables, beans, rice or potatoes. Meatless appetizers can also be served as a part of your dinner. Just make sure to let your server know that all of those dishes will be acting as your main course and to have him or her bring out one big plate for you to eat off of. You may just have the best meal on the table, but it s up to you to allow those meat eaters eat off your plate, since you can t eat off theirs!

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 2 cups of herb roasted potatos. (To make herb-roasted potatos, boil about six whole red or white potatos, then let them cool in a pan of cold water. Dice the potatos and spread them on a oiled cookie-sheet. Top them with lot”s of herbs and spices. (Whatever you happen to have around will do! I like to use paprika, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder,
  • A mix of whatever veggies that you like. I use the following:

    Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    • Spinach leaves

    • Thin carrot slices or triangles
    • Artichoke hearts
    • Thin sliced green onion

    Directions:

Directions:

Lay out the spinach on a plate, top with the other veggies (except the
green onions.) Top the veggies with the herb roasted potatos, then
top it all with the green onion. (At this point, I like to warm up
the whole thing in a microwave for about 2 minutes.)

Then, top the whole yummy mess with either:

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • Hollandaise sauce
  • Salsa
  • or an herb salad dressing
