Vegetarian Quick and Easy Under 15 Minutes by Jonathan Vine Book Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.




I read Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes: (100 Simple Natural Foods Recipes) (Weight Maintenance & Low Fat Lifestyle) (Special Diet Cookbooks & Vegetarian Recipes Collection Book 2), in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The book was written by Jonathan Vine and Tali Carmi.

I wanted to review the book because my nephew is a picky vegetarian, with an allergy to gluten. He also does not consume foods with certain dyes and chemicals. He doesn't eat meat or wheat. He also loves dairy such as eggs and ice cream.  Cooking for him is hard but the family still tries to cook him healthy food. I prefer quick food, so I can get out the kitchen. Oatmeals, cheese roll-ups, beans and rice.

First, the book discusses the different type of vegetarians. For example, total vegetarians are vegans (such as my sister). My nephew is an example of an Lacto-ovo-vegetarian. He doesn't eat meat, but will consume some animal by products, such as cheese and eggs.

The book also discusses the benefits of being a vegetarian. Then we head to my favorite section, which discusses quick meals for busy moms. Some of the recipes, I loved included the:

1. Avocado Scramble. Avocado and Eggs. 
2. Vanilla French Toast
3. Cheesy Mushrooms
4. Ricotta Cheese Fritters
5. Greek Salad
6. Potato Pancakes

The book also has quick, romantic meals, such as nutella french toast, caprese salad, nutella trifle,  or the spinach and strawberry balsamic salad. mmm mmm good. 

I also loved the cheese-filled croissants, the caramel pears, and the warm peanut butter banana sandwich. Think grilled cheese, but without the cheese. 

The book also has pictures scattered throughout.  

The book is available on Kindle and paperback. The paperback is Prime Eligible. The kindle book is free for today. Go download it. Add it to your devices.

Feel Good Gluten Free Treats (Tomoson)

I received two, six pack gluten-free muffins, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The company, who developed the muffins was The Butterfly Bakery. The box arrived shortly after getting approved for the promotion. The company sent banana nut and blueberry muffins. The muffins did not make it past a few hours. I chose to review the muffins because my nephew is allergic to wheat. He is on a gluten-free diet. Eugene is also a vegetarian. A picky vegetarian, with an allergy to wheat. He also does not eat  certain dyes. Trader Joes is his favorite store.


Butterfly Bakery makes gluten-free and sugar-free desserts. The owner wanted to create a line of desserts for her mother, who is diabetic. Her mother loved the muffins. Butterfly Bakery also makes cookies, cakes, cupcakes, streusel, and brownies in a variety of flavors: Chocolate Chip, Lemon, Apple, Cranberry Orange, Pumpkin, and Corn.

The products had mixed reviews. The whole family partook of the muffins. Some of us liked them and some of us did not. My nephew loved them. The muffins are smaller than normal-sized muffins, which is a good thing, perfect for a quick snack or dessert. You can taste the banana and the blueberry in the muffins. The muffins also do not have the sweetness of a regular dessert. The sweetness is not overpowering. I been reducing my sugar intake over the past few months, using more splenda and other sugar substitutes when possible. I also reduced my butter intake by using I cant believe it's not butter spray. The muffins are a great way to have a healthier snack.
