Any vegetarians out there?

[Bianca]

I have been inspired to try to reduce the amount of meat I eat and maybe call myself a vegetarian one day. Does anyone have any good meatless recipes they want to share. I have been searching the internet for a couple days and its overwhelming!

Does vegan count?

 

I got a book called "How it all vegan" its amazing.

 

Also a friend of mine runs a blog: Oh Gourmet!

I've been vegetarian since I was 11. There's lots of yummy vegetarian dishes out there! If you like "international" foods, ost other cultures have a great selection of vegetarian dishes. I guess maybe I'll post some recipies I have saved in the other thread.

 

Since you have a child, here are some links to book recs/sites with great vegetarian ideas for children:

Thanks for all those links. I checked out Morgans thread. I had a feeling I should search first. I just cooked my first vegan meal, Lasagna with silken tofu instead of ricotta and other cheeses and eggplant. There's room for improvement, but it was pretty good.

I was just wondering if there were any other vegetarian BDWers out there?

I am not a vegetarian, but the only meat I eat is Chicken. So I'm almost there but I just can't do it because I don't eat fish either.

Me! Wellll... k, actually I'm "mostly Vegan" ~ basically VERY little to no dairy/eggs/etc. and same with meat. I do allow myself fish though (couldn't give that up), and I feel my body needs a small chunk of meat every now and then. But overall, Martin and I have been living the "mostly Vegan" lifestyle for about 5 months now! It's amazing the changes in our bodies... we went off of it over our wedding/HM trips and gained back the 10 lbs we had lost!!

 

We live off of beans, or at least Martin does - I swear, he could literally live off of beans alone - crazy guy! LOL

 

Have you tried quinua (sp??) ~ soooo delish, lots of protein. Similar to rice. Love that with beans

[Jessica]

Yes!!! I've been vegetarian since I was 11 thanks to my biology teacher and her obsession with telling us where meat comes from... now that I think of it, maybe she was a vegetarian/vegan too and that's why she kept telling us those horror stories.

 

I do love my cheese, so I'm not vegan, but I do use only cruelty free products, am against the use of (real) leather and fur, etc.

 

I love, love, LOVE vegetarian Mexican food especially. Yum!
