Has anyone else tried the new Birds Eye Steamfresh Protein Blends? They make several different varieties and they are vegetarian (some may be vegan) and are excellent sources of fiber and protein.
I tried the Hawaiian blend and it was not bad. I've used it as both a side and the main protein/fiber source of the meal. They make several options. |

Yes, I have tried several of them. I love the Hawaiian, the Thai, & the Tuscan ones. I tried to eat the Asian one..BUT it is way too spicy for me...perhaps it has curry in it? Anywhoski, yes these are awesome & I can make about 3 meals out of them for myself.... Thanks for sharing them...:) |

Red Bell Pepper Soup
A friend makes this often and I always enjoy it.
Ingredients: 1 Red Bell Pepper 1/2 Cup of Cashews 1/2 Cup of Water Mix it in a Vitamix or something similar until smooth and creamy. Eat it cold or hot. I like it hot with a touch of salt. It's delicious. |

I'm getting back to my vegetarian ways after being off the wagon for the last several months. I will still occasionally enjoy a very rare steak but I really do enjoy my mostly-vegetarian ways when I'm on.
Tonight I'm just having a giant plate of vegetables (blackeyed peas, peas and carrots, onions sauteed in red wine and black pepper, and steamed spinach with a ton of garlic and lemon). What's your favorite veggie plate combo? |

Way too much work for me. Lol |

Also kind of depends on the season as well. Now that fall/winter is coming around, cabbage, squash and rutabaga shoot up the list :D |

CABBAGE! YES! I often forget how much I love this one (even if it makes my intestines sound like Satan moved in). Delicious boiled or fried and I love it as a steamed "wrap" with brown rice, peanuts, carrots, ginger, bok choy, and whatever else I have laying around. |
~
try using kimchi a spicy cabbage found in the Asain section to cook veggies and grains in ~ adds a lot of flavor :)

My personal favourite way of cooking cabbage is slicing it up in large chunks and baking it in the oven with olive oil and some ground black pepper. So damn good! I could probably eat a whole cabbage to myself like that :lol2: |
