I am very excited to be guest hosting #CookBlogShare this week! I’ve been sharing my recipes with CookBlogShare ever since I started my blog just over a year ago so it gives me particular pleasure to be guest hosting this week.
Regular hosts Kirsty from Hijacked by Twins and Eb from Easy Peasy Foodie do a brilliant job every week (as did Jacqui from Recipes Made Easy who guest hosted last week) – with all the fabulous recipes participating in the linky it’s really not easy to decide which ones to feature, as I’ve found out this week.
In the end I decided to feature 5 delicious Vegetarian Lunch Recipes and here they are:
Goat’s Cheese and Asparagus Salad by Mrs Portly’s Kitchen is fabulously simple and appealing, featuring asparagus, in season now, ingeniously paired with tangy goat’s cheese. This lovely salad comes with a simple honey mustard dressing and toasted hazelnuts for a bit of crunch. Can’t imagine a better way to celebrate asparagus season!
Tomato, Black Olive and Goat Cheese Galette by Claire from Foodie Quine is a delicious, easy to make light meal idea full of wonderful Mediterranean flavours. Claire has used sweet and delicious Scottish baby plum tomatoes in this recipe, which I’ll definitely be looking out for next time I am grocery shopping. I love the addition of the smoked paprika!
The classic lunch idea – soup! Jerusalem Artichoke Soup from Lost in Food is another delicious seasonal recipe! There is nothing more satisfying than cooking with ingredients you’ve grown yourself and Lesley has made this soup using her own Jerusalem artichokes. The recipe is everything great comfort food should be – hearty, filling and delicious!
Cauliflower Chilli Con Carne from Mummy Mishaps is one of the healthiest chilli recipes I’ve ever come across – it’s low in fat and full of delicious cauliflower (along with other fabulous vegetarian ingredients). This is a slow cooker recipe – super convenient and ideal for busy people. And it sounds absolutely delicious!
Last but certainly not least, is Easy Peasy Foodie‘s Spinach, Cauliflower, Quinoa and Chickpea Curry. This tasty and nutritious gluten free one-pot vegan curry dish comes together in under 30 minutes! So it’s quick, convenient and super healthy too. For me this is an ideal lunch or dinner recipe (both actually – I’d make it for dinner and enjoy the leftovers for lunch the next day!).

Hi Monica, Nice to meet you. Awesome vegetarian recipes. I am vegetarian and I share only vegetarian recipes on my blog.
Tanks for hosting the lovely party.

Lovely round up Monika and you make a great host! I am way behind on new posts after a few really hectic weeks but if I manage to post before next week I’ll be back to share something x
Thanks Corina! You’ve still got some time, hope you come back this week:)
Hello Monika, Really great roundup of veggie lunches! I’m really new to blogging and have only managed to participate in couple of link ups so far but they are such a great way of finding out what other bloggers are cooking and finding so many wonderful recipes. There isn’t one I wouldn’t like to try 🙂 Have a great week hosting! Jo
Thank you! I am glad you’ve chosen this linkup to participate in:) Have you checked the CookBlogShare Facebook Page yet? If not I recommend you join the group, everyone is really friendly and supportive of one another:)
Thank you so much for featuring my recipe Monika . That goats cheese looks so good as does the tart. x

Hi Monica, I have shared my tropical chutney that will go well with these easy vegetarian meals.
Thanks Balvinder! Will pop over to take a closer look:)
Delicious round up here, I’m so, so hungry now! I’d eat vegetarian all the time if it wasn’t for my Ugg-Caveman hubby!!! 🙂
Thanks! I know what you mean, it’s not easy when everyone in the family likes to eat different things.
I really should have eaten lunch before coming over here. A great selection of recipes!
The great thing about recipe link parties is that they are always such a feast for the eyes:)
Fab roundup, Monika – such delicious recipes!! Especially loving the look of Jenny’s cauliflower chilli. (Not surprising given how much I love chilli con carne and cauliflower!) Thanks for including my curry 🙂 Eb x
Thanks Eb! It was so hard to pick the recipes to feature, they are all so delicious looking. And you are welcome:)
The perfect round up for me – that’ll be lunches for next week sorted then! Thanks for hosting this week x
