So it begins...

Welcome to the first of many posts. Although this blog was created some time ago, I wanted to give myself a bit of time to get a few recipes prepared so that I would be able to post a slew of content for everyone's taste bud delights. Shortly you will find my first recipe, a great breakfast and lunch dish.

As the title suggests, Veggie Ventures in the chronicle of the culinary growth of vegetarian food that I encounter. I have been a vegetarian(read that as eats milk and eggs, simply no meat or seafood) since January of 2009. Keeping this in mind, I hope everyone, carnivores and omnivores included find my blog to be insightful into wonderful dishes everyone can enjoy. Perhaps this can be just one more example that vegetarians eat far more than just "veggie burgers" and the food can be quite enjoyable. From time to time I also intend to post vegan dishes as well, although this is more a matter of if they happen to be so.

I also hope to have a weekly featuring of wine or craft-beer, ideally for a particular meal if I can find the time to properly pair them with one another. So there's sure to be something for everyone. I hope you enjoy the blog as well as the food and please don't hesitate to send in suggestions for dishes. I'll be sure to give credit where it's due.
