Hallo it is me again!

I am not a vegetarian YET, but I do want to cut on meat for various reasons! I want to cook at least 2 meals a week without meat, fish is normally hard to get and I only try to avoid all that stuff with preservatives and artificial stuff in!

I am personnally easily satisfied, I can eat my tomato salad with greek yogurt for breakfast, lunch and dinner...LOL BUt my fiance is a bit more picky, and though I tought him to appreciate salads, I dont think he would be tricked into tomato diet! LOL (joke)

I usually cook one vegiatarian dinner per week but now we agreed on 2 and to keep him interested I need to show some skills...LOL

As for meat we normally buy pork and chicken (all lean) and I do use a lot of veggies, but as for stand-alone veg dishes it is relativly new to me.

Where I grew up most ANY veggies are really expensive in winter so normally we are used to cooking soups and stews with a bit of meat and potatos and also noodles rice and sometimes beetroot and cabbage. It would be next to IMPOSSIBLE to cook without meat, because otherwise the soup would be just potatoes! Well a separate serving of meat for every member of the family is a treat, and also you would find that if you eat just potato and noodles and maybe beans without meat every day, you would get hungry 2 hours after you had dinner! Well it is of course different if you have a selection of fruit and veggies!

So I am on a learning spree and actually want to buy a decent veg book, that would not be only curries, becaus I am not big fan of curry!(will give it another chance though!)

Oh and da Sage thank you for the link!

Hugs and cuddles,
reen.blom
