Been trying more plant-based recipes again this past week as well as oil free as much as possible. Still not following any specific eating plan; no set rules. Just trying some new recipes, trying to eat less meat and dairy and oil when possible.
Some recipes have been great, some have been good, but others have been pretty gross.
Tonight I made Chickpea Ratatouille with Rice. This was good but not great. I decided to serve it with rice and I'm very glad I did as I don't think I could have eaten much of it on its own. It needs more seasoning and maybe a little something else as I found it bland. Perhaps olives may be a nice addition, may try it in my leftovers tomorrow. I didn't use the oil, used vegetable broth to cook veggies instead. I also didn't have any eggplant so simply left it out. I like eggplant so it would have been a nice touch but Hubby was happy as he is not an eggplant lover :)

Last night I tweaked the One Skillet Paleo Mediterranean Chicken Dish. I left out the chicken to make it plant based. I did use jarred artichokes that were packed in oil, although I drained them, it wasn't an oil free recipe this time around. I served it on pasta. This is still a great and tasty dish!
Over the weekend I made another new recipe: Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon. This was pretty good but Hubby really loved it. I used veggie broth in place of oil and it was fine. It also makes pretty big servings.
Finally, I tried a simple Ramen Noodle Soup recipe that was pretty gross for both of us. We ate it for supper but I couldn't stomach it the next day for lunch.
