I am absolutely in favour of vegetables and there are some tasty recipes using plant based foods.๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฅ”๐Ÿ† ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿฅฎ๐Ÿœ

When I first started out as a vegetarian I tended to eat the same things over again but I have since then been surprised by the variety and availability of other ingredients that can be found in shops, vegetable sellers or on- line. Alternative products like quorn or soya beans are good stand ins for meat. Quorn sausages are great for breakfast with eggs, baked beans and potatoes!

I am a big lover of vegetables ๐Ÿฅฆ๐Ÿฅ’๐Ÿ†๐Ÿฅ‘so thats a positive ! I used to hate carrots as a child but having had them presented in some very๐Ÿฅ˜๐Ÿฅฌ๐Ÿง„๐Ÿง… interesting mouthwatering recipes so I was soon won over to the humble carrot and I now love eating ๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿฅ• rainbow carrots too which are lovely!

It has been fun to experiment using lots of different types of vegetables to make some great recipes. For a time I went to the local vegetarian society where I learned to cook some vegetarian meals. After finding out about it I would definitely recommend a vegetarian diet.ย 

There are some great alternatives to meat eating like beans๐Ÿง†๐Ÿง† ( I love beans!) which are great mashed together with other vegetables in pasties. Mashed and seasoned๐Ÿง‚๐Ÿฅซ๐Ÿฏ vegetables can be used as a good replacement for mince. I have also used this veggie mixture wrapped up in pancakes ๐ŸŒฎ๐Ÿฅž๐Ÿฒwith spices or curry paste in, also topped with mashed potatoes for a shepherds pie. ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿง† I ๐Ÿง€๐Ÿฅ”๐Ÿง…
Really tasty!ย 

We just have to learn to be more adventurous and flexibleย  in our cooking. It doesn't have to be expensive you can obtain some cheap vegetables from some local vegetable growers, or from markets and farm shops

.1) I am vegetable lover first of all because I feel it is healthier to eat a vegetetable diet.๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

2) I like all animals and do not want them to suffer๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ‡ย 

3) it is good for the planet ๐ŸŒŽand the environment so thats three very good reasons to be vegetarian. ๐Ÿ™‚
