delicious recipes with easy to find ingredients

Every recipe I've tried so far has been excellent - Lentil Vegetable Soup, Mixed Bean and Cheese Salad with Ginger Dressing, Tacos with "Chorizo" and Potatoes! Some of the soups include sides that use low carb bread, for example open-face cucumber cream cheese sandwiches with dill, which also make great snacks. I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, and loved that this book included cheese and egg dishes. I love beans and lentils and this cookbook showed me some awesome new ways to use them. I also like that it occasionally uses some vegetarian convenience foods, like veggie sausage. All of the ingredients are easy to find in any grocery store. The recipes are easy to follow.
