After the Oz Cattle debacle, I told the family we were going veggie, they objected, so we have settled on meat free Mondays.

So I have 2 tins of brown lentils, grand cost of $1.38, that I am chuffed about.

Thinking of lentil and veggie curry.

Whats your favourite veggie meal?????

I can only see me getting away with the lentils once

The one that I make a lot is pasta with basil and cherry tomato sauce - sometimes with mozerella

I always try and include at least two veggie days in our weekly meal plan. I was vegetarian for a long time and can still be a bit picky about meat. This week's offerings have been baked polenta with tomato sauce and ricotta with a side of brocollini and bean, barley and vegetable soup with bread. Some of the regulars are:

- vegetable curry
- lentil and vegetable burgers
- squash and blue cheese risotto
- vegetable lasagne
- bean and vegetable chilli
- vegetable fajitas
- toad in the hole (done with veggie sausages)
- lentil bolognese
- vegetable quiche
- lentil soup
- minestrone (no bacon) soup
- black bean and bulgur wheat koftas

There are a few soups, as we tend to eat a huge lunch out on a Thursday, after swimming, so I throw a soup in the slow cooker for a lighter dinner.

...and lamb.

Really quick and easy one. Spinich & Mushroom Lasagne. Layer baby spinich, cut mushroom, onion and sour cream with lasagne sheets. Add tomota based sauce instead of sour cream to one or more layers as desired. Top with basic white sauce and cheese. Bake for about 45 minutes, my gang love it and it's really quick and simple (I buy the bags of baby spinich and the mushroom already cut so it takes me no time at all to throw together when we're in a rush, beats fast food.

You can make ...

lentil dal - google an Indian recipe with cheese stuffed naan breads.

Sag paneer? paneer cheese chunks in curried spinach

Buy quorn mince and do a big chilli con carne - in mexican flat breads, grated cheese, jalapenos, sour cream etc

garlic and stilton mushrooms with dipping veg and crusty bread

Some of this stuff sounds fab.

The aussie partner swears he cant eat vegatarian food so I bought quorn sausages when they first came out in Coles, covered them in sauce and white bread, his first Quorn sausage sizzle

Wouldnt mind but he didnt pick it till I told him what he had eaten. I described it as mushroom spawn just to be evil

...usually bacon

Love my veggie meals. Homemade lentil soup being a fav in our house

Coursely chopped onions, mushroom, capsicums, zuchini, drizzled with olive oil and grilled.

add to freshly cooked pasta with a sprinkling of grated cheese. Does the job nicely.

(Or course to do it properly you need bacon too - ASAIK theres no issue around unethical treatment of pigs exported to Indonesia, so perhaps you can get away with that?)

A nut roast with a thick tomato-chilli sauce.

I'm having mushroom and avocado soup tonight with sourdough multigrain bread.
