Tofu and Stir Frys
Spicy Eggplant and Tofu Stir-fry We were visiting a friend of Karen’s the other day, and guess what? – Discussing healthy eating! The usual comment – that it is difficult to know how to eat healthily, particularly when you come home from work and...
More Low Carb
Vegetarian patties Well – Karen has numerous low carb vegetarian cookbooks it would appear. Spent some time browsing them and found a lovely recipe for vegetarian burgers or patties. I replaced the ordinary green beans with edamami beans, to improve the protein...
