It’s Monday and this week I have decided to relaunch my neglected Meat Free Monday blog spot because I miss it! If you are new here I am a veggie wife to a veggie man and mum to four vegetarian children. I decided to run this meat free slot after requests from followers here and on Twitter and as a showcase for some of my veggie and vegan recipes. It seemed to make sense to run it on a Monday as part of the Meat Free Monday campaign and I aim to post recipes which are easy and family friendly. For more vegetarian food ideas please visit my ‘other place’ Life Is Delicious!

This week a winter warmer, hearty and substantial, good old comfort food.

sounds yummy – you’ve inspired me, it will be lower fat than the classic recipe and they probably won’t notice the lack of meat!

Oooh this reminds me that I haven’t made toad in the hole (meaty or veggie) for aaaages! I may just have to give this a go soon. We’re pretty much eating veggie since I went off meat cooking during pregnancy – now baby is 3 months but my husband isn’t missing it and I’ve always been more into veggie food than meat anyway.

Hoorah! Do come back and visit often! 🙂

Yummy! A good old fashioned dinner – I love toad in the hole and we regularly have it for dinner (although we have to make 2 – one veggie and one carnivore gluten free!) I’ve never put mustard in it though but will definitely try it next time

I love a quick, easy, crowd pleasing family dinner and this one is perfect! I hope you enjoy the added mustard! 🙂
