For the Love of Cooking {Finding Protein}

Since becoming pregnant one of the most popular

questions this 90% vegetarian is repeatedly asked,

ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH PROTEIN?

Ugh!  Well I don't know, but I feel like I am?

I eat eggs on most weekends, I  eat hummus pretty often, I try to incorporate 

beans into our meals, and I've even had my burnt to a crisp bacon! 

This is where my 90% vegetarian part comes in!   

But, with all the questioning I obviously start to doubt 

myself.  So, just to be on the safe side I have been searching for

more recipes to help me up my protein so that Baby G is well

taken care of. I came across this recipe and I totally think I can get

on board with it. It's simple, has ingredients I love (minus the onions), and

provides 20 grams of protein!
