Recently, I have been trying to go more vegetarian with my diet (see my blurb on animal cruelty in the “resources” section). This Vegetable Tian recipe is a wonderful vegetarian dish and it is very flavorful. It has zucchini, tomatoes, potatoes, onion, garlic and is seasoned with thyme, pepper, olive oil, and a little bit of Parmesan cheese. I haven’t quite figured out what to serve it with, but it is pretty filling on its own. Perhaps some french bread? I have seen other recipes use breadcrumbs, which I will try next time I make this healthy dish. What is your favorite vegetarian recipe? I need some more ideas

Oh, pretty! Really a nice looking dish! Maybe serve it with hummus or another bean dip (for protein) and you’ve got your complete meal. When I’m looking for vegetarian recipes, the first place I always look is in Indian cookbooks – much of the country is vegetarian, so you know you’ll find lots of ideas there. Anyway, good post – thanks.
Ooh hummus sounds really good! Thanks for the tips
This looks fantastic! How about trying a side of quinoa for the protein instead of beans though? It also has all our essential amino acids.
I have never tried quinoa (I know, right?!). I will have to finally try it and see how I like it
I loooove it! Here’s a little Quinoa 101 I wrote, if you’re interested…I’ve linked to a few of my favourite recipes.

Hi there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering
if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi! I use WordPress and there are some free themes that are very user-friendly, but others require some php and css knowledge. I have a post about starting your website, it doesn’t go into detail about coding or anything, but its a good place to start: http://mysanfranciscokitchen.com/how-to-start-your-own-food-blog/
I have used Blogger in the past and found it to be extremely easy, especially if you aren’t good with coding!

I may have found this recipe a bit late in the game. So glad I did. these are the recipes that should be posted all over pintreast. I find more junk food than my poor eye can take on that site.
This was awesome! I made it for dinner tonight and loved it! Thank you for another great recipe, keep them coming!
