Can't for the life of me remember what it was called but it was delish served with pita wedges (like people do hummus) garlicky and wonderful. Try looking at Morrocan and middle eastern dishes they use a lot of eggplant. India is big on vegetarian dishes too. <br /><br />So a eggplant dish with no breading and melty cheese. My favorite would be grilled veggie sandwiches with pesto mayo. Take what ever vegetables you like, I use zucchini, portobellos, eggplant (salt and drain it first so it's not so soggy) and onion. Brush the veg with olive oil and have Ed cook on BBQ grill with a hot flame. Mix half mayo and half pesto. Smear bolillos or other rolls with the mayo mix and top with veggies. Enjoy. Great now I am hungry.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110115324050851439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508414439548446424.post-19948016111688763492010-05-15T01:25:30.262-07:002010-05-15T01:25:30.262-07:00Cell phone plans confound me.

Good luck, oh and if you get a iphone I may never talk to you again. I totally want one, but it so isn't happening. <br /><br />As far as vegetarian cooking have you looked at the Moosewood restaurant cookbooks I have a vegetarian friend who loves them, I've never tried them though. Are you going lacto-ovo vegetarian or vegan? Another resource you might try is epicurious.com Under recipes and menus choose "heatlhy" then there will an option for "vegetarian". I recommend pizza margherita and curried lentil soup, yummmm.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110115324050851439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508414439548446424.post-59803446235084238722010-05-14T18:31:56.245-07:002010-05-14T18:31:56.245-07:00Ah!

I totally get it!<br /><br />Having gone totally veggie for about 2 months, I feel your pain. The hours of looking for another way to cook veggies! LOL! I feel you, sista! Asparagus is in season and cheap right now and SO good for you! Lightly steam it, or grill it - YUM! :)<br /><br />Yes, Tofu is a veggie - soy to be exact. So read carefully there as well, as it could be from GMO soy beans.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591996893338385672noreply@blogger.com
