March Contest - VeggieMealMaker.com
VeggieMealMaker.com is a new vegetarian and vegan meal planning website. Every week, you get a fantastic meal plan with recipes, plus a shopping list and a price comparison for many major grocery stores.
I participated in beta testing for the site and really liked the recipes offered, which are generally easy and nutritious. Our favorite recipe was the
Bowtie Asparagus Pasta. I made it with 4 oz of pasta (to serve 2) and reduced the soymilk/water a bit, but kept the spices and vegetables at the original recipe amounts (being the vegetable fan that I am). I loved the "creamy" sauce that was dairy-free. We will definitely make this one again.
