My girlfriend is trying to eat less meat and I found a recipie for vegetarian lasagna, but it calls for meat substitute. Does this actually taste like meat?
Answer
Umm no, she does mean girlfriend. I don't know if you've heard, but some girls like girls. =P
I've never found a meat substitute that tasted exactly like meat, but I have had some that are so good that you don't miss the meat. I crumble tempeh into my vegan chili and it provides the meaty texture and comes out delicious. I fill lasagna with mushrooms and eggplant. I maake meatloaf with a blend of blak beans, lentils, and rye. I've heard that seitan also works very well in meat-centered recipes, such as vegan cheese steaks. I've never tried it because I am sensitive to gluten, but I've heard it's very good and meaty.

Does Anyone Know of Any Delicious Egg Dinner Dishes?
Puddy
I want some delicious meal ideas and/or recipes for egg dishes (omelets, souffles, huevo rancheros, etc.).
Any info. 2 share, folks?
Answer
My very favorite egg dish is an Italian Frittata. It is a type of omlette and it is my way of using up leftovers. I can't give you exact measurements for all the ingredients, because as I said I add leftovers.
Frittata
Serves 2 with leftovers, maybe
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green or red bell pepper, chopped if you have one.
2-3 clove minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil or a little more if needed
6 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon each dried oregano and basil or 1 teaspoon of your favorite herbs.
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/4-1/2 cup grated cheese (you can choose any cheese from grated parmigiana to grated cheddar)
Leftovers you can add to the beaten eggs. Cooked potatoes, cooked vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, broccoli raab, raw spinach chopped, cherry or regular tomatoes including those that are getting soft and wrinkled, leftover chopped canned tomatoes, deli meats, cooked sausage, meatloaf, cooked chicken, beef, pork etc., pasta and beans.
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees
Heat the oil in a 10-12 inch non-stick ovenproof skillet or frying pan. Saute the onions and peppers (if using) until soft, add the minced garlic and saute about 30 seconds.
Add approximately 1 - 1 1/2 cups of leftovers to the beaten eggs along with 1/2 the grated cheese, the herbs, salt and pepper. Add more oil to the skillet if necessary. Pour the egg mixture over the onions etc. in the pan. Allow to set for a bit then pull the eggs in from the sides, allowing the raw egg to fill in where the cooked egg was pulled in. Do this a few time, then garnish the Frittata with the rest of the grated cheese and put it in the oven for about 20-30 minute or until cooked through and slightly golden on top. Slide out onto a large round plate, cut in wedges and serve with a garlic or any good bread.
Frittatas are good eaten hot, room temperature or cold.
The best frittatas do contain cheese, and should have at least one leftover vegetable, some type of meat and leftover potatoes or pasta or beans. If your vegetarian, leave out the meat, you will still have great inexpensive meal.
