I am a hardcore foodie and I really only eat meat on occasion--but I do love cheese.

But, I also enjoy/crave flavorful vegetarian and vegan food, especially within cultural cuisine. I usually add fresh (or dried) parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and (a little extra curry) or paprika.

If you haven't tried these already, they are all meatless and pretty delicious:

• Vegan Tikka Masala (frozen)
• Paneer Tikka Masala (frozen) - it does have a little butter in it though
• Yellow Jackfruit Curry w/Rice (frozen) - the color is a little off putting, but it's tasty
• Vegetable Pad Thai (frozen) - add fresh cilantro, bean sprouts, & sriracha
• Kung Pau Tempura Cauliflower (frozen) - these can get mushy, so after about 75% of it's cooking time, I broil them and turn them a few times (while watching carefully). I serve them with ranch or blue cheese dressing & chilled celery sticks.
• "Buffalo Style Cauliflower" is quite easy to prepare at home though. I first tasted them at this hipster place in Echo Park and fell in love. I really like this recipe (although I personally omit the honey and coconut oil).

If you have anything to suggest/recommend/comment on/whatever--I'd love to read your feedback! I could talk about delicious food and recipes all day long. Um, ya think?
