Meatless Meals...

I have been making meatless meals for some time and when the opportunity to preview a new cookbook came along, I took the opportunity to try some new recipes!

Miriam, who blogs over at Meatless Meals for Meat-eaters has a very easy to use and sure to please any appetite cookbook!

I had a chance to look at some of the recipes and make a plan to try them the next weekend. Fortunately, my daughter also came home at that time and she loves to cook!  We tried several of the recipes and I can say that they are easy to follow and make which is really important many days. They also are very tasty. I have a son who is very picky about textures and tastes and he liked every recipe that was made!

So what did we make?

Banana Berry French Toast

This was so good. You can use any berries you have on hand (cranberries were a bit tart but they were still so good!) Definitely a keeper of a recipe.

Chickpea, Broccoli, and Quinoa Casserole

This was tasty and my son loved it. Very filling and the leftovers did not last long! I can see many other grains being substituted if you need to in a pinch.

Cream of Cauliflower and Potato Soup and Chinese Cashew Vegetable Stir-fry

This was a great meal on a day it turned cold again! The soup has a great taste and so easy to make. I took the leftovers for lunch the next day. My daughter made the soup and it was so easy. I had to make the stir fry as well (had ingredients that needed used.) I am glad I did. The leftovers were just as good later as they were the day it was made.

This is a great book for those looking for more Meatless meals or for those who are not quite sure where to begin on their Meatless journey!
