WELCOME!

Hello Everyone!

I just watched the movie Julie & Julia for the second time and I was inspired.  I am not going to attempt a feat as difficult as Julie's since I have three children and one on the way.  However, I have a goal to post every day to deliver you recipes and ideas for vegetarian cooking.

I have many friends who ask me what I cook for my family every night since I am a vegetarian.  I also have friends who have asked me if they can shop with me at Trader Joe's to see what I buy there each week.  I love Trader Joe's!  If you do not have a Trader Joe's nearby (which I did not for many years while we were living in Utah), don't worry--you will be able to find substitutions at other grocery stores.

Also, I know most of you are not vegetarian.  Please still visit this site.  I incorporate meat into various meals since I have children and a husband who eat it.  Biggest loves meat, so I keep some on hand for him when he does not want beans...beans...and more beans!

Since this blog is public, I will refer to my family as such: Lover Boy, Biggest, Bigger, Big, and Tiny (for our baby on the way).  

Every Sunday I will bring to you my shopping list and meal plan for the upcoming week.
On Mondays, I will post my Grand Total that I spent at TJs and any other ingredients that were not on my shopping list that I ended up buying.
On the following days, I will post recipes of what I am making for dinner each night.


Please enjoy!!!

  1. Love it! I always think I could totally be vegetarian, but the hubs and kiddoes could not. I usually cook meat twice a week, and definitely need more veg cooking tips/menus. Awesome!
