Sometimes I indulge in dishes with loads of fresh vegetables and herbs. Vegetables are high in fiber and nutrients. What I like about veg dishes is that when prepared right, they can deliver a hearty punch of goodness that I'm sure meat lovers would enjoy. I try to use the freshest ingredients available and layer my veggie stews and soups with complex flavors derived from a variety of herbs and spices. Please enjoy my very easy to make recipes below!
