Vegetarian Cooking For Festive Season
Vegetarian Cooking For Festive Season
No need to panic! There's plenty of time before the festive family get together. It's just a dinner for, you know the whole lot: parents, grand parents, in-laws, picky toddlers and the teenagers who live on French-fries and insist that they do eat vegetables. I brought this upon myself.
You know how it is yearly, during the holidays when the table is divided into categories and sub-categories? Oh no. I'm not talking about appetizer, soup and the main course. I'm talking about the likes of: no dairy for such and such, no sugar for the diabetics, no vegetables for the teenage punks, no gluten for the allergic and no meat for us, the vegetarians. You see, throughout the year during family get-togethers we're all sitting on the same table but eating something completely different from each other. So I said, "Okay. I'm hosting the big festivedinner this year and I'm going to make sure we all eat the same thing."
I'm determined to take on this task with an upbeat optimism. Oh Google show me some love!
It really isn't hard to prepare healthy dinners or vegetarian meals. The World Wide Web is full of answers. Vegetarian recipes for celebrationsare available. The beauty of preparing a vegetarian menu is that it caters to the allergic (think wheat allergy), to the diabetic (sugar free sweet potato pie, oh yeah it's possible with coconut sugar!) These healthy recipes will surprise you because they do measure up with standard recipes. They taste as sweet and flavorful and the texture won't give it away that what you're eating is the healthy version.
Pumpkins, potatoes, sweet potatoes abound during this month thus the pilgrims also prepared dishes out of these. Of course, nothing beats a dish that is made from fresh and organic vegetables! Choose recipes with simple steps and easy to follow instructions so that you will not be distracted, going to and fro YouTube and Google as to how exactly it is done (chiffonade anyone?). I am happy to share quick and easy recipes in case you fall out of time with the other dishes, I can whip something up to help fill up the menu. Try to stay away from canned vegetables. After all, Festive season meansa celebration of bountiful fresh produce from Mother Earth.
In looking for these vegetarian recipes, I've kept in mind the aging loved ones, low-cholesterol dishes. I've also included a high protein healthy meal for the general crowd, finger foods that can be healthy snacks for kids and vegan pumpkin pies for everyone and no one has to know. Sssshhh!
I'm going to make sure that this healthy dinner will be a memorable family festive get-together. Bring the goodness of Mother Earth to your table with your fovourite vegetarian dishes and let this be a beginning of a new tradition. Making tradition out of healthy eating.
Happy Festive Season to you all! (and to the animals that won't be sitting on my table).
