Happy Monday, everyone! I'm beginning to think that no matter how many days of vacation I take, there will always be that feeling that it was just one day too short. After looking at my piles of laundry, some clean and some not, I feel like I could use one additional day to sort, clean and lay around in my pajamas. Anyone with me?
But back to work I go, and to start off the new year and work week right, I made myself a Vegetarian Sausage and Egg Strata. Because if one thing was made apparent to me over the past week, it was the fact that cooking for a vegetarian seems to cause many people a whole lot of stress.
In my neck of the woods, the concept of vegetarianism is a little bit uncommon, meaning that putting together a meal for someone like me makes them cringe just a bit. Of course, I would gladly just have everyone make what they normally would and eat whatever I could, because having people make special arrangements for me isn't my style. But people often cook to please and delight those they love, so making something vegetarian-friendly becomes a priority.
I hardly expect anyone I visit to start making veggie-centric meals any time soon, but if you're hosting a vegetarian for breakfast anytime soon, this would most certainly be a pleasing option for all. And if you don't have access to vegetarian sausage links, go ahead and substitute a cup of chopped raw broccoli or some diced red and green peppers.

This looks very delicious! I really like vegetarian sausages, but I usually only have regular tofu on hand. I hope that'll do too :)
yum, this looks delicious! i don't eat a lot of meat and always appreciate when people have tasty vegetarian options.
ALWAYS one more day would be the best. I always feel like I need 2 days of fun, and 1 day to recover. This looks so good.
