RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Stay-at home mom into crafting and cooking. I have been vegetarian since 2004, essentially vegan. One of my pet peeves about many vegetarian recipes is that they are smothered in cheese or rely heavily on faux meat, which is not very healthy. I am much more into healthier comfort vegetarian food, like lots of potatoes, vegetables, and grains.
