Recipe Box, Vegetarian for Lent and Spring

In honor of Lenten season, a time when a lot of people eat less meat and opt for lighter fare, I am posting a round-up of some of my favorite vegetarian recipes

Some are light, some not so light, but they are all are so good you’ll never miss the meat

Asparagus Quesadillas with Onion or Tomato Jam are a perfect way to enjoy some Spring asparagus

Asiago Cheese Grits Cake with Sautéed Mushrooms and Roasted Sprouts will put a little Wow factor on your plate

Baked Southwestern Eggrolls are full of black beans, spinach and corn and are baked, not fried

Cauliflower Steaks with Beer Cheese Sauce are a meal by themselves, just add a little green salad

French Onion Stuffed Mushrooms with Rosemary Croutons, can be an appetizer or a meal

Garden Sliders, stacks of roasted vegetables in a Parmesan coated eggplant “bun,” make a fun presentation

Mushroom Lasagna, is often on our Easter menu, but easy enough to make any time

Spring Roll Wraps with Sweet Chili Peanut Paste are full of fresh crisp tender vegetables and tasty tangy peanut sauce

Surprise Pasta Bake is flavored with a combo of pesto and enchilada sauce for a new and unique sauce…I know it sounds weird, but it’s crazy good!

Vegetable Enchiladas are full of a rainbow of vegetables and get a boost of creaminess from low fat cottage cheese

Zucchini Crust Veggie Pizza= no meat and low carb!

Eat your veggies!
