Your vegetarian secret weapon recipe?!


Question: Your vegetarian secret weapon recipe!?
Can you give me some tips on easy things to make and eat when you just can't cook to save your life! Having major surgery soon and won't be able to stand up for very long especially cooking at the stove!. Not sure what to eat for the next month! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
You can never go wrong with bologna and crackers with just a dab of horseradish!. Mmmm mmm good!

Oh, vegan!.!.!. sorry!.

Even though I'm your basic carnivore, I would be hard pressed to find a better invention than my rice cooker!. Which doubles as a veggie steamer!. Add your rice or veggies, add water and spices, and the steamer does the rest!.

I've also used it to make soups and stews in, much as you might use a crock pot!.

However, my all time favorite soup in the world is actually a veggie-esque soup from Japan called "miso"!.There are several kinds and they have a delicious blend of seaweed, tofu, mushrooms, etc!. Miso is, however, made with a meat based broth!. Usually fish or poultry!. That may not be what you're after, but the only time you will ever find actual meat in miso is when it's made that way fresh!.

Miso is however a thin soup, and available in powdered form at most decent grocery stores!. Add hot water, wait a few minutes, bada BING Baby!, you got yourself some goooood "instant" soup!!!!

I hope some of this helps you out!. I've done that whole surgery recovery thing!.!.!. I don't envy you a bit, but I do wish you well, and a speedy recovery!.

Canned minestrone soup!.

Sandwiches!.

Fresh fruit and raw veggies!.

Order pizza!.

Take your leftovers and put them in tupperware containers in the freezer!. You'll have ready made meals!.

I recently bought a large container of Dannon vanilla lowfat yogurt, some Bare Naked granola and random fresh fruit!. Mix it all together and it's super tasty! You can even add protein powder if you want!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
