hi everyone, i am debbie and have been interested in a vegetarian diet

for a long time....but......i have no imagination for cooking. i

to vegetarian times and love their recipes. but what i need

are meal plans. not just dishes. like a weeks worth of meals.

practical ones not fancy. some ingredients i dont know what they

are. does anyone have any recommendations for me? thanks, debbie in

new jersey.

Hey NJ neighbor, I would suggest for starters that you check out the recipe list

in the files & for each meal, pick out a veggie, a protein, maybe a starch dish

for each meal. Just pick recipes that appeal to you. Have fun!

Hi, Debbie! I like to pull together menus on a weekly basis from a list of

favorites plus

good looking ideas that have floated past. BUT for those who really don't like

to do it and

want to be told what to do (there is no shame in not liking what I like

<grins>), there is a

woman named Leanne Ely who publishes a weekly Menu Mailer that tells you what to

cook

and gives you a shopping list to take to the store so you buy the right stuff

without having

to stop and add up amounts. It is not free, but there are sample menus on her

website so

you can see if you might like them before you buy a subscription. The link to

her

vegetarian menu is:

 

http://www.savingdinner.com/menu_mailer/vegetarian_menu_mailer.html

 

I have used some of her recipes from online or from her book, Saving Dinner,

borrowed

(free!) from my local library network. Pretty tasty, for the most part. That

book is NOT

vegetarian but many of the recipes can be easily adapted and there is a page on

her

website that spells out how to adapt them. We're having her " Apricot Chicken "

but made

with Quorn Naked Cutlets for dinner tonight at my house, as it happens.
