We take the humble breadcrumb-and-cheese topped baked gratin and give it an earthy autumnal twist. Turnips are really cheap and they are surprisingly delicious and add the best texture ever once cooked. We also love them in soups and stews, but this pear and turnip gratin is must for meat-free Monday this week.

You don’t even have to make these French toast waffles from the frozen ones, we included a basic waffle recipe below if you’d rather make your own.

Meatless Monday: Otherwise known as best day to save on grocery shopping
All animal-lovers and veggie fanatics rejoiced when #meatlessMonday became a trendy way to eat – and it’s a trend that stayed, nonetheless! The arguments in favour of veggieful dinners have arisen from a combination of factors, including the environmental sustainability of growing plants versus cultivating livestock for meat and the medical concerns linked to animal meat and its by-products on our health. Going full-on vegetarian or vegan may be bit of a stretch for some of us, so it’s been simplified to dedicating one day a week to eating your way to wellness with a environmental conscience. Another perk thereof? Sidestepping the sometimes costly price of meat. Let us show you how.
