I've decided to go back to a veggie diet. Need some recipe ideas!!?!
******************
^^ two slices of 7-grain bread
spread witha cream-cheese dip made with fresh hebs
^^ sliced avocado
^^ sliced cucumber
^^ water cress
^^ slices of Swiss or Gruyere cheese
^^ thinly sliced red onion
serve with
^^ little bowls of pumpkin and sunflower seeds
^^ little cubes of fresh pumpkin toasted in the oven with olive oil, herbs (rosemary & thyme)
note: you could do the above in the oven at the same time you do a cookie sheet covered with fresh pumpkin seeds spread out on parchment paper: mix the seeds in a bowl with just a little oil or melted butter and some spice: fresh garlic or dry garlic powder, cumin powder or crushed seed, 1/8 tsp of cayenne: do them both for half an hour at 325*F ...until nice and toasty ...
^^ you could also roast a bowl of cooked chic peas on a parchment-lined cookie sheet: put in a bowl 1 tbs of oil, salt if you like it, some garlic, some fresh chopped coriander, and some finely chopped onion, even some pieces of chopped jalapeno chilli, mix and mash well with 2 tbs of water, then put in the chic peas and coat them well..........put them on the cookie sheet and roast them about a half hour or a little longer if you wish at 325*F ....serve them in a bowl to accompany your sandwich ...
**************************************...
Sliced Tomato with Salsa
****************************
^^ Put thick slices of tomato onto a plate and cover them with salsa
garnish with fresh coriander or parsley, and some wedges of lime ....
^^ Serve with crackers and some slices of Indian paneer (or Farmer Cheese / Cottage Cheese) put onto lettuce leaves with parsley or coriander
^^ it really needs to be sprinkled with Indian Chat Powder, that would be *really* good !!!
^^ a side dish of pumpkin seeds or roasted peanuts w/o salt or some corn chips
Enjoy!!!
