Vegetarian Cooking

Need a stock pile of easy dinner recipes to add to your collection? Try some of these quick and simple meals on for size.

I know first-hand how hectic life can sometimes get.

Juggling a job, kids, extracurricular activities, a home and everything in between is more than enough to test your sanity.

To help you keep your time in the kitchen at a minimum, and your sanity intact, I've put together a collection of the best easy dinner recipes I've come up with, both from experimenting and vegifying oldies but goodies from back in our meat eating days.

What makes an easy dinner recipe?

• It has to be easy to cook
• It has to contain only simple, easy to find ingredients
• It tastes like you spent forever in the kitchen

I have spent a lot of time in the kitchen over the past year and have tested lots of recipes out on friends and family. While most have gone over well, I've had my fair share of kitchen nightmares too (though you won't find those here).

ALL the recipes you find here fit the above-mentioned criteria and ALL of them passed the friend and family test with flying colors, and they're great for everyday cooking or special occasions, no matter what you're in the mood for.

I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine does. Be sure to come back and tell us what you think.
