In April, when I got home from spending a month in the hospital from having sepsis I received a cookbook. I love reading cookbooks. I know, strange, how do you read a cookbook. I read, because each cook, chef, writer offers ideas on how to food prep, why they do it the way they do, and even how to stock their pantry and what kitchen tools are their favorites and then you get to their fabulous recipes. In Mostly Veggies by Brittany Mullins you get that. I read this book, in April, sorry it took me so long to write a review. I was healing and I was doing the kind of healing that it takes months even a couple of years to do. I’m still not fully me, but I am getting their. I am able to write, read, and do my reviews and even eat food. Sepsis and all the anti-biotics through my stomach for a loop so eating and swallowing became a challenge. In Mullins book I got some awesome ideas of things I could eat and not have my stomach hurt or get stuck in my chest or throat. This made me realize that I can eat things besides soup or protein drinks. I can eat cucumber/tomato salads and pasta dishes. There are some great recipes. Like the Mushroom Stroganoff on page 211. Yum! Meat is hard for me to unless I boil it so this was a big joyous moment for me. There is one recipe that I am going to make soon and that is the Greek Green Beans and Potatoes. Yum! There was a Greek restaurant in Portland Oregon that I loved going to 30 years ago, probably not there anymore, but they made something like this and I am looking forward to doing this recipe and a few others. French style green beans are just the best in my opinion.
There are no meat in the recipe book, but that doesn’t mean it is not chalk full of great flavors and nutritious foods that taste wonderful for your family and friends and yourself to enjoy. This is a great book and I feel blessed that I won on Good Reads and thank you Brittany Mullins for blessing me with this fabulous cookbook.
