eggplant non-meatballs and Angel Hair with pasta recipe

[Guest guest]

Well, I just made my first entire vegetarian meal for the whole

family. I made the eggplant non-meatballs as suggested with a few

changes. I added cumin, chili powder and paprika with more bread

crumbs. My husband suggested that I make them again, but as

hamburger patties and service with a slice of cheese and sauted

onions.

 

I also made Angel hair with walnuts from my side dishes group.

It was fabulous but very spicy.

8 oz. uncooked angel hair pasta

minced garlic

1/4 c. olive oil

1/8- 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

salt

1/2 c. romano cheese (I used parmesan)

 

Cook pasta. In large pan saute garlic and pepper. Stir in walnuts

and salt. Cook until toasted. Add pasta. Add cheese.

 

I also made green and wax beans cooked in veggie broth, garlic (I

added too much) and a wonderful rosemary blend from sams.

 

My dh loved it all (a big meat man). My youngest son loved the non-

meatballs with ketchup (said it tasted like meatloaf), but didn't

like the pasta. My youngest didn't like the eggplant (said it was

too mushy -- and she's my biggest veggy eater -- go figure). My 17

year old son refused to eat when he got home, because dh told him it

was eggplant and he said he must have meat. My oldest daughter

wasn't hungry, so didn't try. I loved.

 

So, for a first time entire veg meal we did pretty well, and other

than my oldest ds, it was a success.

 

Thanks for the recies! Kelly, Deltona, FL

That is great. Now just go make up a menu for this week from our recipe files

and you'll be on your way.......... You could cook for years with our tried and

true recipes and never duplicate, if you wanted to............ Isn't it fun to

make new things.......... ?

 

Thanks for sharing your recipes that you tried and enjoyed.

Congrats! Keep on cooking. I think for a first

completely vegetarian meal you got good results.

Now remember sometimes the non-veg will be defensive

even if they enjoy the meal. It's a change and often

people don't like change. As long as you don't push

them, it takes time. Incorporate new recipes from the

files into your meals and don't say too much about it.

As soon as you say oh this is vegetarian, or it's

healthy because it doesn't have meat in it, then they

already decide they aren't going to like it. Let them

help you cook. This worked wonders on my nephew and

niece.

No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.

Well, I wake in the morning,

Fold my hands and pray for rain.

I got a head full of ideas

That are drivin' me insane.

It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor.

I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
