If you'd like a more detailed recipe let me know and I'll send it. Sweet potatoes for the main dish with a side dish of green peas is a delicious and very easy after work dinner. A tasty roll or muffin on the side is all you need. Knitting is an acceptable way to pass the time at the hospital. You can still talk to the relatives, but it gives you something to do besides worry. I do it a lot.ladydihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768310299153608882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-69032623498449043222011-10-29T09:11:40.057+11:002011-10-29T09:11:40.057+11:00He's not called "dog of wonder" for ...He's not called "dog of wonder" for nothing!<br /><br />I use Blogger's oldeditor to add my photos then switch back to "updated" (read "<i>really?!</i>") to edit before posting!

My daughter wanted to try vegetarianism but it didn't last, BUT while she was trying, I spent so much time trying to make it work. If you're not cooking vegan, then here are my ideas: baked potatoes with vegetarian chili and cheese, veggie omelettes with fruit salad, lettuce tomato and avocado sandwiches on whole grain bread, marinated tofu and veggie kebabs on the grill, sheperd's pie minus the meat, add white beans instead. Hope those help, and bless you! ;O)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397445444053168192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-33234310156137920332011-10-29T04:53:00.636+11:002011-10-29T04:53:00.636+11:00Now Finn, even if you are a puppy you have to stop...Now Finn, even if you are a puppy you have to stop piddling in the house! ;0<br /><br />Yes, I have wonderful veggie recipe to share.

Spinach and ricotta cannelloni (google Taste website or recipe on back of San remo cannelloni packet) was my go to vego recipe (until I became lactose intolerant) but it was so sucessful my carnavore dedicated brother started cooking it (admittedly with slabs on bacon on top) and my vego friend adopted it as her favorite dinner party dish. Stuffing shells is slow, but I am sure you could make it in layers with lasagna sheets instead. My Indian vego friend tells me that there is a vego version of butter chicken, using chickpeas, sorry dont know the name, but google is your friend! Heres hoping he doesnt start reading ingrediant lists on boxes, as its way to scary to worry about when your young and indestructable...and still living at home expecting Mum to cook!<br />Sorry to hear that Granny Boo and your FIL are in hospital, hope it all works out for the best. <br />Hope you get some sewing sanity time, Sue SA.Sue SAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802460291741438603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-16940598272418104202011-10-28T22:15:15.774+11:002011-10-28T22:15:15.774+11:00My go to recipe is a quinoa pilaf.

(or brown rice if you can't find the quinoa). You can then add in some chopped nuts/ dried cranberries/chopped grapes if you like. <br />I have got my 4 kids and reluctant non meat in a meal husband loving this, and it really is simple and doesn't take more than 1/2 hour and you can tweak it however you like. And the good thing with quinoa is that it is high in protein and thus filling.Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192606782016476312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-69073288402543886972011-10-28T21:15:56.024+11:002011-10-28T21:15:56.024+11:00No photos pah !
