Jessie, you are absolutely right. Firstly, it does include prosciutto, and was never really designed to be a vegetarian’s meal, but rather a ‘veggie-heavy-dish’, which I, as a vile meat-eater, do prefer. Secondly, I apologize if I gave the wrong impression about the sustainability of such meals for a vegetarian diet. Full-time veggies do need to be more stringent and careful to get the proper balance of nutrients; I just happen to really like Parmesan Roasted Asparagus and Roasted Carrots, and do sometimes eat them as the main part of the meal.

That being said, I’d love to have any input from vegetarians that have proper veggie meals.

Cheers!
Jessie

Hi,

I made these recipes for my mother, and she liked them, but, having been a veggie for way too many years, I do have a problem with them.

Just a few things – 1. This is not a vegetarian dinner, because of the prosciutto. 2. This is also not a good vegetarian dinner, because it’s not balanced. 3. If you’d like to eat vegetarian, please just email me. This page is giving new vegetarians, and perhaps some seasoned ones, the wrong idea about what they ought to eat to remain healthy!

Blessings… luv, Jessie

Oohh… that sounds great – any root vegetable would take to roasting very well.

I was expecting a vegetarian recipe based on the subject of the email, so I got a good laugh when I saw the prosciutto cuddled up next to the asparagus in the photo. Leave it to you to have a “veggie” dish with ham! Love it!
