If you missed my post yesterday, I've just created a Facebook page for this blog - if you enjoy seeing the recipes I post here, please go and 'like' the page here!

Simple Vegetarian Recipes
Roasted green beans with feta cheese and lemon juice
I've always been a bit 'meh' about green beans as a vegetable. Perhaps it's because they are usually boiled to oblivion and devoid of all flavour. Perhaps it's because their texture is just slightly reminiscent of that of the pea, which is one of the few vegetables that I despise. Whatever the reason, they're usually a bit rubbish. However, they become like a whole ...
Butternut squash and sage stuffed shells in cheesy sauce
Hello! Sorry for the lack of posts the last few days, but I had a hectic weekend! My boyfriend's band had their single launch party on Saturday so there was a lot of sorting out to do for that. Check them out here if you're interested! Aaanyway, onto today's recipe. I'm afraid it's another pasta dish - I know that makes it two in a row, but it's been a while, and I ...
Breaded portobello mushrooms with easy garlic mayonnaise
One thing I enjoy doing is recreating dishes that I often order when I go out to eat - and if there are garlic breaded mushrooms on a menu, you can almost guarantee that I'll order them. One of my favourite vegetables, covered in crispy breadcrumbs and then dipped in creamy garlic mayonnaise? It couldn't really get any better. Here's a healthy version - these breaded mushrooms ...
Roasted red pepper and tomato pasta with basil dressing
I don't watch a huge amount of TV, but if you were to catch me in front of the box, chances are I'd be watching a cookery program. I may be just slightly addicted - I love to watch people cooking, even if it's not something I'd like to eat myself. Somehow I even enjoy watching people cook meat or cake, neither of which I enjoy eating. Okay, I sometimes like ...
Spinach and ricotta stuffed pasta shells
I'm trying not to overwhelm this blog with too many pasta dishes, but this is a recipe I've been meaning to try for ages - what could be better than pasta, spinach, cheese and tomato sauce? It's like all my favourite things smooshed together. 'Smooshed' is quite a fitting word for this recipe - it may not be the prettiest dish I've ever made, but it was really ...
Crispy garlic bread
This recipe can be used to make the garlic croutons served with this dish, but in this case you may wish to use slices of a thin baguette rather than slabs of bread. I think garlic bread goes with anything, especially Mediterranean food. You may have gathered by now that I love garlic. Of course you can buy pre-made garlic bread from the supermarket, ...
Greek style baked bean casserole with garlic croutons
5. Beans As a vegetarian, beans are a great way to get some protein. I eat a fair amount of meat-style Quorn products (although I will probably rarely feature them on this blog), but beans are great for when I fancy something a bit different as my protein. Before anyone tells me off, the title of this recipe should really be 'bean casserole which has ...
