Recipes
Sharing my own recipes for maintaining a healthy diet as a vegetarian. The contents will be added to on a regular basis, as I have had several requests from friends that are new to this and would like some good, easy recipes for a wide variety of culinary choices. Please check back often as I will commit to add to this at least once a week! Enjoy and please, always thank Mother Earth for what she provides!
Love, Light and Healthy Living to all!

UPDATE: I thought I would be able to add additional files for the recipes, but am unable to see the file when I attach it. So I will grow a list of the contents in the order that I add them. Just scroll down to find one you may be interested in.

1 C. brown rice
1 C. cooked lentils, drained

Fine Italian bread crumbs
Mix all ingredients together well and add enough fine Italian bread crumbs for a consistency that will form into patties...just enough to hold them together well.
The patties may either be pan-fried in olive oil or you may place the formed patties on a lightly oiled cookie sheet to bake (at 350 degrees) until golden brown on the edges.
Patties may be frozen for future use.
May be eaten as is or placed on whole grain bread and garnished with your choice of toppings:
Cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sprouts...
Enjoy!
