Good. In that case...

In Alaska a dog musher told me he was a vegetarian because he only eats moose and salmon that he hunted and fished himself. I was not about to tell him he was wrong.

Actually, that's similar to the sort of "vegetarian" I'd consider. I find the way we farm animals to be unethical in relation to the environment and how the animals are treated. If I hunt for my own meat, then my problems with eating meat are neutralized. I think this would also be the same sort of philosophy if I raised my own chickens or goats or something like that.

I avoid eggs and anything that has eggs in it.

I just threw together a pretty interesting (and tasty!) dish last night:

Slice an eggplant ~ 1/2 inch thick (to make circles) and place in a lightly olive oiled baking dish. Add garlic, salt, pepper, etc. Layer in zucchini and mushrooms. Add cottage cheese, if desired. Poor spaghetti sauce over all. Top with some cheese. Bake at 350 F, for ~15-20 min. Very good! I served it just with a salad and it was actually a pretty hearty meal.

PS:
Oh, make sure the eggplant is evenly sliced and lying flat on the bottom of the dish. Otherwise it won't cook evenly.

Awesome! Thank you. I just bought an eggplant last night and was considering things to do with it.

Do you peel the eggplant first?

Hehe. I didn't know they were so notorious. I was just craving eggplant for some reason so I asked my aunt for some pointers and just went at it. It was a pretty easy meal, actually.

I didn't. The peel was a little chewy, but I like my food to have texture, so it didn't particularly bother me.

A variation of the above method that I haven't tried yet, but sounds great:
Slice the eggplant thinly long-ways (from top to bottom). Spoon a riccotta/mushroom/green pepper/whatever mixture on the slices and roll up (so it is essentially manicotti, with the eggplant taking the place of the pasta). Pour a spaghetti sauce over top and cook.

Cool, but please, post which ones you liked and why as well. That might help others when they are trying to choose one to try. Thanks!

Made this last weekend, it was pretty good.

Cabbage Stew:

1 1/2 cups of broth
1 large package of shredded cabbage and carrot (for coleslaw)
1 can navy beans, unsalted
1 large can of tomatoes, unsalted
1 small can of strongly flavoured tomatoes, diced (I used fire-roasted, tasted smoky, but shop around)
1 1/2 cups of brown and wild rice, cooked the day before (in broth)
1 onion, chopped
1 pk ground veggie meat (optional; it didn't add much in terms of overall taste)
Seasoned with savory and sage, and dill
Bay leaf

I boiled a bullion cube to make broth, put the cabbage in for about 3-4 minutes to soften. Put all in the crock pot. Added can of beans. The large can of tomatoes went into the blender for a minute to become sauce, and the smaller can went directly in. Mix.

Cooked for more than an hour (stupid slow crock pot), maybe two, and then added rice and seasonings. Cooked for another half an hour.

The veggie meat was to go in last so I cooked it in the fry pan with the onion about 10 minutes before finish.

Eating this one right now! Yummy.

This is an old favorite that I have recently redesigned for vegetarians and is now a huge hit at all our parties. Note, not all refried beans are vegetarian so check the labels.

Charlie's Mexican Chili Cheese Dip

2 cans of vegetarian chili (I use Amys)
2 cans refried beans (Old El Paso)
1 block Mexican Velveeta
1 jar Picante sauce (I like Pace Chunky)

Combine ingredients in a big pot and heat until cheese is completely melted and mixed in. Heat slowly and stir continually. Serve with tortilla chips. Feeds many.

You guys is making me hungry!

Here's a good summer salad:

Salad ingredients
Spinach
Strawberries
Raspberries
Sliced almonds
Pine nuts
Feta
Avocado

Dressing:
1 unit* of grapeseed or extra virgin olive oil
1/4 unit of champagne vinegar
1/2 unit of champagne
Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
A pinch of sugar if the dressing is too sharp

Whisk, shake or blend.

* a "unit" depends on how much dressing you want to end up with. The proportions are the main thing.

Store-bought raspberry vinaigrette is pretty good with this too, if you're lazy in the dressing department.

Made this last night for a family barbeque - it was a hit.

I usually make my enchiladas with chicken, but I was having a "meat is really grossing me out" sort of day, so I replaced the chicken with black beans. It was great and I think I have a new favorite:

Ingredients:
Can of black beans, drained
Corn
Spanish Rice
Cheese
Red bell pepper (optional)
Enchilada sauce (the type I like comes in cans)
Soft Tortillas

Place all the ingredients inside a tortilla and wrap. When wrapping, make sure you fold in the ends first, and then roll, so you make it into a little packet. Place them in a baking dish. Cover with more enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake at 350 F for ~30 minutes. Enjoy!

Black beans? I've always been too scared to try them!! Are they goodness? What do they taste like?

Black beans are my staple! I love them. They don't really have a strong flavor, so they basically go with everything. They also have a nice firm texture, so no mushiness. My favorite winter comfort food is to cook up a pot of black beans with green chiles and serve over white rice with lots of Frank's Red Hot.

 

[Breathe]

I'll have to try them!
I'm wary about some textures though. Like tofu, and tomatoes.. can't stand the texture of them, but love the taste.
