A. To me Loving animals is a Great Reason to be a vegetarian. It is not hard to be one and keep being one. First you must make a commitment to yourself that you not going to eat their bodies anymore even if you like how they taste. You are going to put their lives before your taste buds. I think loving animals and remembering that will keep you going. The first month is the hardest and only because you are used to eating animals. It is habit like anything else. Every day decide what you are having for breakfast . That is easy, Breakfast:cereal, oatmeal, toast,waffles, pancakes, english muffins, donuts, also mock breakfast meats as veggie bacon , veggie patties etc.
Lunch: make a sandwich ( no meat), a bean burrito, bean taco, veggie wrap, humus, falafel on pita, salads, soups, use mock meats as veggie burgers, veggie dogs with beans, veggie sausage etc
Dinner: Pasta a zillion ways, marinara, with pesto, alfredo,prima vera, with beans, veggie lasagna, or have sauteed or roasted veggies over rice, a curry dish, use mock meats to make almost any "meat dish", stews, soups,casseroles, potatoes( fried, roasted, mashed, boiled), tamales, veggie meatballs, veggie meatloaf with mashed potatoes, Tofurkey with pecan cranberry,salads, and even veggie sloppy joes.
These are just a few ideas... eat fresh fruits as apples , bananas, berries and drink fruit juice as OJ fortified with calcium
snack on nuts as almonds, peanuts, cashews, ect
snack on raw veggies as baby carrots or celery ( and use salad dressing as a dip) , I eat lots of raw veggies as well as cooked ones
If you can begin to change to soy or almond milks(they all taste different so it will be trial and error) I like Regular unflavored Silk ( refrigerator section) and Almond breeze chocolate (not refrigerated)
Things to avoid anything with Gelatin, anything with L-Cysteine, Carmine, and Confectioners glaze( the last 2 are bug guts found in lots of candies), avoid any beef, chicken or animal broths in soups and many times in rice dishes, and in cheese make sure it says non animal rennet ( otherwise the cow is killed as animal rennet comes from their 4th stomach).
I would say start here and everyday think to yourself I will not eat an animal today. Soon you will not even think of ever eating one again because your heart is in it and the more you know, the more commited you will be. Do not panic if you make a mistake , just fix it for the next time and keep going.
Good luck and stick with it ( I read some of your other questions and I would say do not try to be a vegan yet, yes you can begin to buy non leather shoes and bags as what you have wears out, and use products not tested on animals, but do not put that much pressure on yourself all at once)
Please email me if I can help or answer questions about any products.
I also suggest you look over PETA's website and read all as well as
check out vegweb.com for recipes
One last thing Vegetarians do not eat any type of Fish ever including shellfish. Fish are living animals until they are killed and gutted for someone to eat them and absolutely not vegetarian. You probably know that, but some people are confused.

Really good vegetarian cookbooks/recipe websites?
Q. It seems that all of the recipes I've found so far online are disgusting and try to make meat-like dishes with meat substitutes (tofu meatloaf, etc.) Any recipes like that 1.) sound repulsive, and 2.) don't taste too great either.
Can anyone suggest any vegetarian cookbooks and/or websites with recipes? Preferably not vegan, just vegetarian. Thank you!
By vegan, I mean [preferably] not recipes that exclude dairy. And no meat-substitute dishes, like meatloaf made out of tofu or something, for example.

A. The best one I have ever owned is called "The vegan family cookbook." The recipes are delicious, and easy to make.
Vegans: Were you surprised that vegan food taste better than animal based foods?
Q. Since the world/media (meat/dairy companies) we live in leads us to believe a meal does/can not taste good unless it contains some form of animal product, vegans were you surprised that vegan food taste better than animal based foods, and that there is way more variety?
Some of you did not read my question statements, vegan food: food free of animal products. You do not have to be a vegan to eat them, but you are definitely more aware of the foods and variety of vegan foods being vegan.
Fez: Those are the basics, vegan foods consists way much more than that.
tahunajcw: Look up the word arrogant. And techinally vegan food is *normal food*, it is just a description. Yes please look at our dental structure, if you think that is proof we need meat, then you need help or have some weird ass teeth, considering it is further proof we are more of herbivores! Wow you are ignorant, pick up a book, go to school, search the net, learn!

A. YES!
Talk about being pleasantly surprised!! :-D
I made some vegan blueberry-banana muffins last weekend and they were SO good!
Blueberry muffins have always been a fave of mine, but ever since I stopped eating eggs, I didn't eat them anymore. I found the recipe and they were actually tastier than their egg-laden counterparts.
When I actually ate meat, I hated meatloaf. But I recently made a homemade mock meatloaf that tasted delicious!!
Surprised. Impressed. Excited.
YEAH!! Vegan food kicks butt on SO many levels. And it's so much better for us!
