In the kitchen - Meatless Monday...

28 May 2012

I'm not sure what happened really.... I've morphed into a crazy cooking lady...
its not baking that excites me....its meals...vegetables.... delicious flavours and combinations.
As if I wasn't hooked enough.... I went and bought this book....
...now I'm totally smitten.

So tonight we feasted on the most delicious Eggplant Parmigiana from the book....
I found the recipe online for anyone who is interested....but I highly recommend purchasing the book...you wont be disappointed.

I also made this brown rice salad.......we had some for dinner....but the remainder will make a lovely lunch box item for the week ahead.
It has brown rice, onion, garlic and lemon zest cooked in vegetable stock until tender.
Then to that I added basil, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and slivered almonds.
then its all combined with a dressing made from lime juice, vinegar and Dijon mustard.
Top with parsley....and serve warm...although I'm sure its going to be beautiful cold as well.
I thought Id join in and link up with Veggie Mama for meatless Monday this week.
