While I'm not a vegetarian, I think I
could become one. But it might take me some time to sort out all the pros and cons (I'd love to hear from you if you're a vegetarian or vegan).
In the meantime, here's a recipe that I'm going to try. Thought I'd share it with you:
Herb Roasted Vegetables

" This recipe works best when baked in a convection oven,
it allows the herbs to fully flavor the dish. "

1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
