    31 easy vegetarian stove-top recipes - perfect if you don't have an oven, or just don't want to turn it on! Stove-top recipes are often healthier and cheaper than the shop-bought stuff you throw in the oven, so these recipes are mostly healthy, and are almost all vegan too!

    As a full-time food blogger, I spend about 50% of my days in my kitchen. Every appliance gets used multiple times a week - my oven, my hob, my slow cooker, even more obscure things like my waffle maker and spiraliser (okay, maybe I don't use those multiple times a week... but pretty often).

    Recently, MoneySuperMarket asked me to give up something I use regularly for an entire week as part of their One Week Energy Challenge. We often take prized possessions for granted, and sometimes if sacrifices have to be made, we might not be able to afford to use our favourite items any longer.

    When I was trying to decide what to give up for the challenge, naturally my mind immediately went to the kitchen (big surprise there). I wanted to give up something that would be a challenge, but wouldn't result in me just eating dry crackers all week (because that's no fun for anyone - especially me). The answer was obvious: my oven! One whole week with no oven.

    I had to rely on stove-top meals over the course of the week. Easy, yet somehow quite difficult at the same time. I actually found that my meals were a little healthier overall than usual - I could no longer rely on the 'bung it in the oven' kind of dinner that I sometimes resort to when I'm feeling a bit lazy (you know the kind of thing I mean - oven chips, shop-bought veggie burgers, garlic bread, that kind of stuff). Instead, there were more stove-top soups, stews, lentil dishes... all made from scratch and all full of veggies. Much healthier in all sorts of ways.

    I also find that stove-top meals are often cheaper than the prepared ready-meals that you cook in the oven. Lentils, eggs, beans, pasta - all super cheap, and all cooked on the stove-top. I'll definitely be remembering this next time I find myself a little strapped for cash - a meal can easily cost under £1 per person. The difference really adds up when you're cooking for multiple people.

    If you're also watching the pennies, MoneySuperMarket can provide the best possible break down of energy providers to help save you money. There's some fab advice on there!

    In the meantime, here's a little collection of some of my favourite vegetarian stove-top recipes that you might enjoy.
