Frozen dinners already cooked - follow directions on the boxes, warm in microwave. Stick with the big name brands for good taste. Add a can of veggies or frozen veggies as a side dish. Ask a clerk to show you where to find them.

Pre-cooked meats in sealed packages found in the cold section, not in the freezer, (just pop into the microwave for a few minutes) such as baked ham, pot roast with gravy, chops, chicken, meatloaf, and so much more. Ask a clerk to show you where to find them.


Tips for new vegetarian?
Q. Any tips? AND I dont want the simple "stop eating all meat in your diet" because I have been a vegetarian for 2 days and want to keep going.
I might get personal trainer cooking today for the recipes and stuff
but recipes help! THX :D

A. Eat a lot of legumes to replace meat in your diet. In case you don't know legumes are beans, nut, and barley. If you crave meat here are easy substitutes:

Beef Stock>>>Mushroom Stock

Chicken stock>>>Veggie stock

Beef Tacos>>>Bean Burritos

Steak>>>Suted Mushrooms

1 cup chopped walnuts (optional—see other options listed below)
• Mash bananas (overripe ones make the best bread). Add oil/margarine and sugar. Mix well.
• Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda together and add to the banana mixture. Mix until the flour is blended (do not beat).

1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
2 Tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar

• Press the mixture into an oiled loaf pan. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.

1 tsp. garlic salt
