Answer 1

WOW..i just found out what kind of veggie i am..wicked!
as for your query..
do what in doing today...leek and potato soup
just ruffly chop lots of leeks, potato's
boils half a pan of water, add a cup of lentils, half boil them, add the veg, simmer for 1 hour, then add lots of what ever herbs spices you fancy (i cheat and bung in mixed herbs, some garlic salt, lots of pepper), simmer away adding more water if you want it a bit more runny, for about 10 minutes
hey presto, grub
you don't have to stand there watching it, just surf the net or something in between chucking stuff in the pot
it tastes great with some garlic bread to dunk, sprinkle some nice cheese on top for a change too and will feed 1 person for two days easy

Answer 2

Risotto of fresh (wild) mushrooms

Ingredients
350-500g/12oz-1lb2oz porcini/ceps (and/or other fresh wild mushrooms), cleaned and sliced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
125g/4oz butter
350g12oz arborio rice
1 litre/1¾ pint good stock
at least 110g/4oz fresh parmesan
1 tbsp best olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
1. In a large pan bring the stock almost to the boil and keep hot on a very low flame.
2. In another pan melt the butter and sweat the onion until softened but not brown. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes.
3. Add the rice, stir well and cook until well coated and slightly translucent.
4. Add a ladle of hot stock and let it simmer gently until absorbed by the rice. Add another, and so on, until the rice is cooked (15-20 minutes). As a general rule for risottos, you need four times as much water as rice, by volume. And the rice is done when tender but still just a tiny bit chalky in the middle.
5. Check the seasoning and stir in the olive oil, remaining butter and a couple of spoonfuls of grated parmesan.
6. Serve at once with the rest of the parmesan on the table

Answer 4

Yay for you! I've been veg since I was 10 and also had to teach myself how to cook vegetarian. If you already have cookbooks, my easiest suggestion is to substitute tofu for the meat. I prefer to freeze my tofu when I get home from the store (it should be in the organic section of the produce section). Then thaw it out and the freezing makes it easier to squeeze out the water and it better absorbs sauce, so your family won't claim it's bland. Stir fries are always easy. Saute chopped tofu and veggies with some vegan marinade sauce and serve with rice.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMClC

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 10

One of my favorites is a veggie omlette. Take eggs, onions, bell peppers, cheese, and whatever else you think sounds good. Beat them all together and cook on the stove. If you mess up the omlette part, don't worry, it tastes just as good as scrambled eggs with veggies.
