Spring and Summer are wonderful times to experiment eating vegetarian because of the bounty of ripe, tasty and inexpensive produce on hand.  While we're hedging  on going veggie whole hog, swapping in 2-4 meat-free dinners a week is not only a super savvy bet for your best health, it's a great way to save money.

If you're a true veggie-virgin, check out Mollie Katzen—the Original Vegetarian Savvy Girl's—website—which is chockablock with recipes from her best-selling books, Get Cooking, 150 Simple Recipes to Get You Started in the Kitchen, aimed at beginners, and for the more intrepid among you, The Moosewood Cookbook with recipes from her famed all-veggie restaurant.  Mollie taught us everything we know about cooking au naturale, so if you're looking to get your hands dirty with some delicious meatless dishes, let her be your guide.  Here's a Savvy Seven List of our favorite recipes:
