eating for one with food issues....
So, what about some vegetarian ideas that do not include: onion, green bell peppers, mushrooms or meat - of course....
Well, it's just the onions I think... Garlic seems to be ok, chives no, don't know about leeks and shallots as I've never eaten them, knowingly that is...
I also don't know what parsnips are... I'm such a beginner here...
I also don't know what squash is called what... I have one that is long and ruberal that is yellow with green stripes, I have a mini pumpkin like one and on that is yellow and green striped by is oval/round in shape. I'm sure I can cook them like you mentioned, but wasn't sure what spices to use on it.
What is cumin good for? Isn't that an indian spice? I also have humous and want to know how to change the flavor of that. All I do know is add olive oil and some water and mix it up. Sometimes I add garlic, but I know there are lots of other ways to fix it, just not sure about using spices.
For some reason, the smell of some of the Mrs. Dash spices don't agree with me... don't know what's in them so don't know what exactly I don't care for. Sometimes they are ok to me and other times no way...
I hate being this picky, but it sure makes for some interesting tasting dinners. But being married to a meat and potatoes guy makes it difficult to find things that he would like as well.
Any good vegetarian gravies out there? I've heard about a zucchini one, but can't remember where I saw it.
Thanks for any help. I'm loving becoming a scientist in the kitchen!

Oh just what I was looking for... I got some funny looking squash at the market to decorate my table and now I know how to cook it!
Also, was looking for more to do with garlic and curry. Two things I love thanks! Keep the ideas coming. I have this picky pallette where I can't eat the same thing two days in a row... unless it's chocolate.

I've found that a steamer is my best friend when preparing vegetables.
Green beans mixed with toasted almond slices (lightly pan toast them in a little sweet butter)
Mix spinach, escarole and endive...dress with lemon juice and olive oil
Cut up a small butternut squash or rutabaga into walnut size chunks...a little butter for either, brown sugar and cinnamon on the squash, fresh chopped parsley for the rutabaga...
Carrots and parsnips, thinly sliced...orange juice, honey and ginger
As for onions, is it the entire family (onions, leeks, shallots, garlic, chives, and so forth) or just the onion?

Beans and rice can be good even without onions (I've included the recipe below - just remove the green onions). Lentils cooked with garlic, diced carrots and in a bit of curry powder is wonderful. I made a delicious warm legume salad for dinner tonight. It did contain sliced onions (but you could replace with thinly sliced fennel for a different taste) sauteed in olive oil, then add cut up tomatoes and garlic, once tender add a can of legumes (chick peas, lentils, any bean) drained, heat, and then add S & P and a handful of mixed herbs (whatever you have - cilantro, basil, dill, chives, etc.). Serve over raw spinach or arugula. You might want to look into some vegetarian cabbage rolls too!
Garlic and Cilantro infused beans on rice
RICE:
Basmati rice
Cumin powder
salt & pepper
a dollop of olive oil
Using a rice steamer yields the best results. Add all ingredients together in steamer bowl and follow steamer instructions. If using stove top double the volume of water to rice (i.e. 1 c. rice needs 2 c. water). Put all ingredients in pot, bring to boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently without stirring until liquid is absorbed. Take off heat and let rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
BEANS:
Quantities are up to you
Red kidney beans, canned
Fresh garlic minced
fresh tomatoes, diced (if using the large cans of kidney beans do approx. 4 or 5 large tomatoes)
green onions chopped
fresh cilantro chopped
ketchup
olive oil
salt & pepper
In warm fry pan add olive oil to cover bottom
add garlic, tomatoes and onions
saute on medium low until fragrant and slightly brown in colour
add can of beans with some of the liquid
bring to a summer, let reduce to a thicker consistency
add a little ketchup and cilantro (I like to add a bit of hot sauce too)
season to taste with salt & pepper
