  1. Thanks for reminding us, just how easy it is to take out red meat and use a vegetarian alternative instead. This is another simple and delicious meat free recipe.

    1. Thank you. Yes, it is and I would always advocate a 'meat alternative' over meat. It is vital we all think about saving the planet and we can achieve that by eating 'meat free products.'

      I simply pass that information on through my blog and in my recipes.
