Nice meals incorporating loads of veggies

[pacha]

vegetable pie?
How about a veg smoothy? V8 type?

 

[M&Ms]

How about a casserole. Plenty of veg in there and easy to prepare, then just bung in the oven on a low heat for 2 hours, job done! Sooooo tasty too

I love vegetable risotto and also make vegetable cottage pie. I do pasta bake too and chuck in tons of veg, not strictly mainly a vegetable meal but very yummy and filling.

Spinach and rice - sounds horrible but is lovely

Kilo of spinach - washed and finely chopped
large bunch of spring onions - finely sliced
bunch of dill - finely chopped
cup of rice (dont know what metric is but a mug full)
olive oil

put approx 1/2 pint of olive oil in large pan (I only use 1/4 pint oil), fry onions and dill until soft, add spinach and stir, cook for a couple of mins, add 1 pint of water and continue to boil until spinach nearly cooked, add the rice, salt, pepper and another 1/2 pint of water, stir and then reduce heat, cover and cook, stirring occasionally until the rice is cooked and the water has all been absorped. if you wanted to you could add some tomatoes for further flavour

This is lovely with cheese grated on top when you serve. we're gonna have this tomorrow!

Pasta with veg (& chicken)

You can throw in anything you like, I'm keen on peppers, tomatoes, courgettes and mange tout and dead easy to make

You are being good, I have eaten junk food all through my first tri to combat the sickness, only put on 4 pounds so far but even so I feel guilty for it. Go to turn over a new leaf in tri 2 x

We make veggie curry. Its nice if you like curries. Basically you cook loads of different veg (doesnt matter what it is) we usually have carrot, brocoli, potato, onions etc... then add curry powder and blend it into a paste. Then cook some chicken add it to the veg and serve with rice

 

[rusks]

you can put in peppers, courgettes carrots onion leeks, mushrooms or any veg you have in the cupboard really.

Vegetarian lasagna : )

And spanish omelettes/frittatas are great too.

I also like the vegetarian home made pizza idea.
