Does Walmart sell Imitation Meat?
Q. I am trying out the Vegiterian life, and so far I like it, so I was wondering if Walmart has imitation meat?
A. Walmart has a small vegetarian section, normally by the breakfast foods for some reason, which includes Boca burgers. I personally don't care for them, the homemade version is much tastier and cheaper as well.
Homemade boca burgers:
1 cup lentils
2 cups water
1/2 cup onion
1 egg
2 - 3 tsp steak seasoning
1 cup oatmeal
Cook the lentils in the water until soft, 30 min to one hour. Smash with a potato masher, fork or a stick blender. (I like the potato masher best.) Beat the egg and add it and all other ingredients, mix well with your hands, like a meatloaf. Shape into patties and fry like a burger.
Note: If mixture seems too wet, add a little flour. Brown lentils are best but you can only buy the green ones at walmart. They will work also but don't get quite as soft when cooked so they don't mash as well. I've used them plenty of times however. You can get the brown ones at any Whole Foods. Both kinds are super cheap, yes, even the ones from Whole Paycheck.
Here's another recipe for tacos made with lentils, it's not completly veggie but I just use water instead of the chicken stock. You can also use it in burritos.

You can also use TVP as a substitute for meat but Walmart does not sell it normally. It comes in a dry form and is made by Bob's Red Mill. Amazon sells it for a good price. You soak it then use it like meat in soups, chili and spaghetti sauce.

Help with a healthy vegetarian diet (life diet not lose weight diet)?
Q. On new years I officially became a vegetarian. Everything was fine and I didn't face any cravings (I'm not much of a meat eater). But I saw that my diet has been reduced to a lot of carbs and cheese's.
I can't eat lettuce, raw tomatoes, or anything that could be found in a salad. I cant eat cauliflower, melons, or apples. It's a stomach condition...
That makes having a vegetarian lifestyle hard!!! I've been enjoying my food but I've been eating rice, pizza, spinach, a lot of home cooked Mexican food, and most of my meals contain a lot of cheese in them.
Help. I've been feeling a weaker lately and I think it's because of my poor diet. I'm going grocery shopping tonight. Any suggestions.

A. Hi , Even with your stomach condition it sounds like you can still eat lots of vegetarian food and eat healthier . You just need some ideas .
You can cut down the cheese when cooking Mexican food by adding Avocado (a very healthy fat) , how about cooked tomato " stewed " or diced and cooked ? ,
You can also make a Fajita out of sauteed veggies ..some choices to add are peppers, onions, and squash .
You can make veggie slopppy Joe's by simply substituting veggie meat .
How about veggie sausage and peppers on or with Italian bread ?
My mom makes awesome Vegan meatballs using TVP (texturized vegetable protein) instead of meat ..She also makes Vegan meatloaf this same way ..served with mashed potatoes .
Stuff peppers with a rice and veggie meat
Stuff Mushrooms with breadcrumbs and a bit veggie cheese.
There are lots of veggie meats today .. you can make sandwiches with veggie bacon , veggie chicken patties , veggie burgers, veggie hotdogs ,plus all the Veggie deli meats as pepperoni , ham , bologna ..etc all NON meat
Pasta dishes with cooked Veggies , Pesto , or Beans are great
Look in the frozen section for Amy's foods ( many are vegetarian) already prepared
I also adore curry foods ..look for Indian recipes
Add more fruit to your diet , Pineapple and strawberries are low calorie as well as oranges, tangerines , peaches, plums
The easiest way is to think of what you like eating and then just substitute .. begin to experiment more..it gets easier as time goes by ..
