Vegetarian Recipes

Didja know I used to be a vegetarian? It’s true. I’m not any more, but I still use many of the vegetarian recipes I came up with during those years, plus all the recipes that are easily converted to vegetarian.

Butternut Squash Soup with Coconut Relish

A while back I made an everything-wilted-goes-in-it soup for dinner and pureed that mother up. You can probably imagine it looked a little on the unappetizing side of things.
