Well I’ve made it, my final day of vegetarian week and I must admit I’ve really enjoyed it!! I may make this a regular occurance.
I was in the mood for eggs for breakfast, there was some veg leftover in the fridge which needed used up or would have to go so I thought I would combine them to make a tortilla for breakfast.
UPDATE AUGUST 14 : This dish was submitted for Tony’s 29th Curry Mela over at Anthony’s Kitchen.
So it’s day 4 of vegetarian week, so far I haven’t found this week difficult. I’m feeling pretty good and I’m still loosing weight.
I enjoyed my curry so much that I thought I would have a variation on it tonight only this time with new potatoes and a couple of other slight changes.
On my quest to keep this week meat free I have been looking to add flavour through the inclusion of herbs and spices.
Whist reading one of my favourite blogs – Kitchen Wonders by Sumitha Shibu who is also based here in Switzerland I came across a really delicious sounding recipe for Kidney Bean Masala.
I have adapted Sumitha’s recipe slightly to suit my own taste.
I seem to be loosing weight at last!! All the cycling seems to be paying off! Today for lunch I had a hankering for noodles. We’re both off work today so I thought I would make a stir fry.
I have taken inspiration from Sara over at I Like to Cook who has decided to have a whole week of abstaining from meat so in honour of Sara I have made my stir fry vegetarian.
I had the day off work today and the weather was much cooler today, ahh relief at last!!!
I was searching for a nice healthy recipe to inspire me for lunch today, I found a weight watchers recipe which inspired recipe.
I love eating Indian food but am quite inexperienced at cooking it.
A couple of year ago I bought The New Covent Garden Soup Company’s Soup & Beyond – Soup, Beans and other things and when flicking through it I found a recipe for Dal and thought I’d give it a try.
I really love all types of beans and pulses and if I didn’t enjoy eating meat so much I think I could survive quite happily as a vegetarian.
I don’t know why I don’t make this more often, it’s quick and easy to make and is real comfort food! This is my slightly adapted version.
Regular readers will know that yesterday Meeta and I over at What’s for Lunch Honey? held our first Blog Swap.
Just in case you missed my recipe here it is:
I thought I would have a little treat and make myself some raclette. Monthly Mingle #1 is being hosted by Meeta over at What’s For Lunch Honey? and I wanted to make a dish worthy of submitting. Thanks for hosting this event Meeta, what a great idea!
This time the theme Football’s Coming Home, in reference to the upcoming World Cup.
Since the country of my birth (Scotland), is no longer present in the competition I wanted to make a dish in honour of my adopted country Switzerland.
On the way back from the Messe yesterday we stopped at the little Mexican shop in Riehen and picked up a few sauces and some fresh corn tortillas, I decided to make some guacamole today to accompany the tortillas.
When shopping other day I managed to pick up a couple of tapas essentials and this prompted me to try a new recipe this evening. I have slightly adapted in so far as I like to roast the potatoes in the oven in olive oil instead of butter.
