Jane’s Vegetarian Recipes

I really believe in eating no meat, just occasional fish and cage free chickens and eating whole grain, non processed foods and lots of fresh vegetables and fruits are the healthy way to go. Jim has heart disease in his family, high colestrial and high blood pressure. I think eating this way for many years has kept us both healthy. Here are some of my favorite recipes I use on a regular basis. I hope you will try some and enjoy them also.
