Meat Free Monday

So I did this post with with National Vegetarian Week in mind as I'd seen lots of articles about it, however as soon as I clicked 'publish' I discovered that its not actually till the 18th-24th May (note to self, must pay more attention). However I thought I would still share with you a variety of veggie meals that I have either made recently or cook regularly to give you some inspiration if you're planning giving the old veggie thing a go for a week in May, theres nothing like a bit of forward planning anyways (thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it *insert wink face here*).

Spaghetti with Butternut Squash and Parmesan Sauce from Skinny Taste

This is my absolute go to pasta sauce, I'd say I eat this at least once a week. If you're a lover of all things cream and cheesy but want something a little lighter on the cals, trust me this one is for you.

Broccoli and Quinoa Casserole from Eat Good 4 Life

This one may change your mind about broccoli and quinoa its that yummy. Make sure you use decent mozzarella.

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Wild Garlic and Sage Pesto from Top With Cinnamon

This is a nice one to do if you're cooking for someone and have a little more time but also great to freeze and keep as well. If like me you can't get the dough to roll out, all is not lost because I have a little hack. Put the dough into ice cube trays and freeze...hey pesto (sorry) gnocchi made easy 

From ice tray...

To pan...easy peasy!

Potato Mushroom and Aubergine Curry from J for Jen

A nice simple curry recipe if asian cooking isn't your forte (like me)!

Whether you're a long standing veggie like me or just planning on giving it a go for a week in May (life without beef burgers is not that terrible, I promise), I hope this may have answered the 'so what do you eat' questions. Do let me know if you give any of them a go.

Happy Cooking
