Hey...do ya know that it's World Vegetarian Day? Don't know 'bout ya, but I love my veggies.
Now, I have nothing against eating meat, I happen to eat it myself. But, I tend to be picky about the meat that I do consume. It needs to be humanly raised (pasture raised).
I do however perter to eat a non animal protein meal, it's just tastier. I love salads, veggies, hummus, fruits, etc.
Here's two quick easy recipes for a vegan lunch. Enjoy!Sweet Potato Cornbread
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup sugar
7 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
4 egg, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 2/3 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In a small bowl, combine the eggs, milk, oil and sweet potatoes. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan.
Bake at 425 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cut into squares. Serve warm
