“I want to try to be a vegetarian,” asked my boss. "What do they call that?"
“Veggie curious,” I replied.
Being veggie curious is where it’s at in my household, at least since child #2 decided to be a vegan last winter. Not being a total stranger to a vegetarian diet, more of a veggie-curious guy all along, I’ve been really enjoying cooking when she and her roommate come over.
She’s always amazed how I can toss together a little entrée in about ½ hour and I enjoy teaching her and her roommate about how to cook. Last week’s dinner included:
Stir fry: eggplant, mushrooms, onion, garlic, fresh yellow beans (microwave steamed for 6 min. before), purple bell pepper. Season with McCormick’s savory mix (mainly rosemary), salt and pepper. After veggies are stir fried, add ½ can of Ro-tel tomatoes with chiles.
While I made the stir fry, #2 made falafel from a mix. We never had them before, but they also turned out great. Nice, crispy and tasty—much better than a chicken nugget any day of the week.
Roommate assembled the salad (organic mix) with heirloom tomatoes
Bread (local bakery)
It was mighty tasty.
Having her over, cooking for her—cooking for others always puts a smile on my face.
