Book Reviews of Saving Dinner the Vegetarian Way: Healthy Menus, Recipes, and Shopping Lists to Keep Everyone Happy at the Table

Book Review: For the Non-Vegetarian Too!
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this book to help prepare more meals with a vegetable and bean empahsis. I'm not a vegetarian but I do prepare a few meatless meals a week both for budget and health reasons (add to that I'm pregnant so I'm trying to add more vegetables into my diet). After going through the book I found quite a few recipes that sounded delicious and as an added bonus they are mostly quite simple to make.

Many of the recipes do call for using Tofu or other meat substitutes. That makes sense for the vegetarians as they do need to get protein from somewhere however those recipes didn't really appeal to me. It's not a big deal as I'm not using the meal plan I'm just trying to supplement our diet with some new recipes. There are also some recipes using beans that I don't particularly enjoy (such as lentils and lima beans) but I will either substitute other beans or use a different recipe.

Having grown up with three vegetarians I appreciate how easy this book is to use. It can be difficult cooking for vegetarians and this is a simple yet healthy meal plan that I think will really benefit vegetarian families. I also recommend it for the non-vegetarian trying to branch out in their eating habits. Beside the health benefits these recipes offer it can really help out your budget to cut out meat for a few meals!
