We’ve been so busy this weekend I didn’t manage to get a full shop ordered for Saturday so I’ve been busy planning Tues-Fri this morning so it’s all been a bit chaotic. But here is what is on the Brown household menu this week :)

I’ve been so busy today I almost forgot to post this. We have guests on Friday so I’m doubling up the veggie sausage casserole ingredients to feed the masses, I love meals that you can just bulk up like that with no hassle :)

I’m a little more organised this week so you get my meal planning Monday post on a Monday :) This miserable weather has influenced me to put lots of comfort food on the menu this week (we had a flash flood in the village and my road became a river!).

This week I’ve decided to start posting my weekly meal plans, seeing as I already plan them all anyway and I’m gradually getting most of the recipes up on the blog.

It makes me laugh when people ask “what do vegetarian’s eat?” and so by sharing the weekly meal plan of a vegetarian family it might demonstrate what a varied diet we actually have :)

This week we have on the menu (I don’t plan by specific days, we switch them round depending on how busy we are)

You can check out more of my veggie recipes here and link up any veggie recipes that you’d like to share :)

Grilled Haloumni, Red Onion and Puy Lentil Salad

1 year ago
by DawnieBrown in

This is another lovely salad that is a meal in itself. I serve it with freshly baked bread. Both MissB and MasterB love the puy lentils and it’s a great way of adding protein to their diets. Any extra salad dressing we pour in a bowl and dip the bread in it.

Ingredients:
1 packet Haloumni cheese
1 packet of ready to eat Puy lentils
1/2 a red onion cut into wedges
A bag of salad leaves (I like to use watercress or peashoots)
Cherry tomatoes
Cucumber

For the dressing:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tspn coarse grain mustard
Black pepper to taste
(feel free to add, alter quantities of dressing ingredients to suit your own taste as I quite often just throw in random amounts to something I like the taste of :) )

1. Slice the haloumni into slices about 1cm thick, place them under the grill until they are slightly browned on both sides and then put to one side to cool down.

2. Lightly brush the red onion segments with olive oil and place under the grill for a few minutes until they are just starting to brown. Place them to one side to cool down.

2. In a large bowl mix the salad leaves, halved tomatoes, cucumber and puy lentils.

3. Once cooled chop the haloumni into small pieces and then add this and the red onion to the rest of the salad.

4. Toss in the dressing, adding just enough to suit your preferences.

5. Enjoy :)

My Vegetarian Cook Book Collection

1 year ago
by DawnieBrown in , ,

I have a huge vegetarian cook book collection and as people often ask me which ones I recommend I thought I’d share it with you :)

These are the ones I use most frequently, at present River Cottage Veg and Slow Cooking for Vegetarians are the most used but I use all of the other ones regularly. I quite often combine recipe ideas from two books to create dishes of my own. You can’t beat having a good cook book collection!

I’ve been busy adding most of my collection to my Amazon aStore which can be found by clicking the link below, go on have a browse and see whether you need to add some to your cook book collection :) If you’ve got any other vegetarian cook books that you recommend then please let me know as I’m always on the look out for more inspiration :)

Chilli and Spring Onion Feta with Mixed Grains

1 year ago
by DawnieBrown in

This is a quick and easy salad dish which is absolutely delicious and a meal in itself :) I try to include at least two substantial salads in our weekly menu and this is one of our favourites!

20120319-215000.jpg

Ingredients:

Feta Cheese
Red Chilli (half)
Handful of spring onions
Bag of salad leaves (I tend to use mixed)
Baby plum tomatoes
Cucumber
Mixed grains (I use these Merchant Gourmet Mixed Grains which you can buy in most supermarkets, you just add them to the salad straight from the pouch).

For the dressing:
2 tbsn olive oil
1 tbsn balsamic vinegar
1 tpsn coarsegrain mustard
(add in the left over oil, chilli and spring onions from the frying pan once you’ve finished cooking the feta)

;

1. Add the salad leaves, sliced cucumber, sliced spring onions, sliced tomatos and mixed grains into a large salad bowl. Save one spring onion for frying the feta with.

2. In a frying pan, heat some olive oil and add in a sliced spring onion and about half a finely chopped red chilli. Once the oil is hot place in the whole feta cheese and fry for about 30 seconds on each side (just before it starts melting). Remove the feta and chop into small pieces then add it to the salad bowl.

3. Mix the ingredients for the dressing and add in any left over oil, spring onion and chilli from the frying pan. Add the dressing to the salad bowl and mix well.

4. Serve with fresh bread (which is especially nice when dipped in any left over dressing that you have :) )
