Tips on a vegetarian diet for a week?

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

A. 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


Looking for some hearty, filling vegetarian recipes?
Q. I am looking for some good, hearty vegetarian recipies. I am mainly looking for lunch items. I try to stay away from soy, I have reactions to it. I am breastfeeding and I have trouble finding food that fills me up.
Thanks!

A. I can absolutely help you out here. Here are some of my favorite recipes:

I use Morningstar Farms crumbles in 2 of the recipes, but you can easily sub them out for another soy-free brand (like Quorn), use beans instead, or just omit them.

There are so many other recipes on Recipezaar, that is definitely my favorite recipe site. You can use the recipe filter to only include vegetarian meals. If you're a fan of meat substitutes, Quorn is my absolutely favorite and it's soy free. I use the tenders and naked cutlets in place of chicken in all of my favorite classic recipes.
