My doc said this would be good for me. I just wanna know the food that i should eat. Thanks.


Answer
Well, it can be very simple, especially if you are just vegetarian and not vegan. In your frozen foods section you will find morningstar farms products, which are especially good, and also boca....

You can get the morningstar farms "grillers recipe crumbles" which is a vegan substitute for ground beef. I use this to make tacos, and spaghetti with "no-meat" sauce.

Since it's spring time and grilling season is here (where I live anyway), you can do grilled veggie- kabobs....You can eat rennet-free cheeses (sargento is animal rennet free, except their harder cheeses (parmesan, asiago, and provolone, etc))

Make some fab salads, or blackbean burgers (can of beans, some crackers and an egg or so, you make it sorta like a typical meatloaf and then form patties for the grill).

Good Luck, and when in doubt, check out some v&v recipe boards or vegetariantimes.com

How should I convince my dad that I want to be a vegetarian?







My dad LOVES meat and I told him once already that I don't want to eat meat and he just say's U HAVE 2 but I don't want to at all. Let me tell you he gets mad easily.
