Vegan and vegetarian food on the cheap

One of the really yummy things I've found that's good on BBQ's is halloumi cheese, just cut thick slices of it and grill on the BBQ, or you can cut thick chunks and put them on kebab sticks with veggies.

A friend of mine has just given me an excellent recipe for a low fat 'crustless quiche' from her diet club. Mix one tub of low fat cottage cheese (200g) with three eggs and place in oven and bake until golden brown. And hey presto you have a low fat recipe! How easy is that?! She said she fries onions mushrooms and peppers then adds these to it as well for different flavours but I guess you could use just about anything.

Vegetarian recipes

You can use this to start with for some ideas.

I'm veggie and my family aren't. I tend to have the same meal as them but substitute the meat for a veggie alternative (duh!) or if someone else invites me for food I'm happy to have no substitute e.g. for roast dinner I'll just have just the potatoes, veg and veggie gravy.

Try:

Spag bol/chilli made with quorn mince
Bangers and mash with veggie sausages
Roast dinner with quorn/tofu/nut roast
Stuffed peppers is another nice one
Roast veg in wraps

There are loads!

Good luck and have fun experimenting!
