Meat-free still? Well…sort of

Whilst I have been still maintaining my meat free outlook (avoiding ‘rubbish’ meat wherever possible), I did have some meat over the last week or so – strangely I didn’t really enjoy it though…?! I am proud that I had a veg curry when we went to a curry restaurant though – the fact that it nearly blew my head off is another story entirely. Note to self:  ’fairly hot’ means ‘sort of inedible’.

Anyway, this week I got a most awesome recipe card with my box so have followed two meat free recipes this week – delicious! The third one is coming tonight – Brocoli and Feta soup (though I may have to lie to Mr B and pretend it’s peas – he has some weird thing with brocoli…like him and Swindon really).

So, the recipes…

Spanish Potatoes with poached egg – essentially patatas bravas but easier (don’t bother peeling the potatoes).

Little Italian Courgette cakes – like carrot cake, odd sounding but strangely delicious and very low in fat.

Meat free week – Day six

Visiting my parents on Saturday didn’t result in me eating meat as I thought it would. I had a verge version of the fig, balsamic and pancetta starter – with brie – and then a very nice puttanesca a la delia. Delicious!

Meat free week – Day four

We went to the lovely Tampopo last night for dinner – somewhere I would most definitely recommend – and both managed to remain on the meat free wagon…

I’m even quite looking forward to the bean burritos with guacamole that I have planned for this evening!

Meat free week – Day one

Having eaten a little too much meat over the weekend and having lots of veg in our box, I thought I’d share our week of meatless meals…
