Really good Vegetarian recipes?

FallenANGE

I've been a Veggiebite ever since May of 2008. And since then, I've always eaten the side veggies that my parents cooked. They're EXTREMELY huge meat eaters. Every day, their supper consists of either, Hamburgers, Meatloaf, Porkchops, Steak, etc etc. And They would always fix something on the side like Corn, or other times, French fries. Anddd.. I'd really like to try something different.

Soo... Is there any really delicious Vegetarian recipes that are filling, healthy, and doesn't cost a lot of money?

I still eat sea food, btw.

Thanks in advance! :D

Answer

Quick and Easy Dinners?

Taylor

Hi! I need a quick and easy dinner for tonight. It it 8:00 pm Eastern Time. I don't want to run to the market.. literally. I can't drive and I run to the market. Its like 2 miles away.. so not far at all! But, like I don't feel like it cause I had a workout practice today for track. Any ways.. Im 13 years old, and what can I eat? We have pasta at home, pita rolls, tortilla rolls, bread, eggs, soup, ravioli, bagel bites, the basics. Haha, what can I make? Thats kid friendly. Im starved so it can't be like Meatloaf or something! HELP?

Answer
Here are a few E-Z recipes you might want to try. Good Luck & enjoy.

COLA CHICKEN (And more variations of recipe)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)

Put chicken in a non-stick pan.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!

You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot sauce....presto "Hot Wings"!

I have used Ribs, just as good.

I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally
as good...served over rice.

I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small jar of Salsa (any variety).
I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).
You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be messed up....wouldn't you??
Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe
using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my
husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed Salsa & Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out the catsup) & Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might be a little sweeter than some of you like.

I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for "HOT") Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).

Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.

Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that
great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.

Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see
myself making this again.
Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles.

Try little cocktail weiners/sausagesâ¦for appetizers.





CRUNCHY ONION CHICKEN

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Onions in a plastic bag.

CHILLI DOG CASSEROLE

mustard


DIRECTIONS: Pre-heat oven 350 degrees
In a 9" x 13" baking pan, break up hot dog buns (bite size) and spread in pan.
Cut up hot dogs (about 1/2" size) spread over buns.
Spoon/spred chilli over hot dog/buns.
Sprinkle onions over all.
Squirt mustard over entire mixture (don't spread...just make a few lines both ways across mixture)
Cover with shredded cheese.
Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly.
(Hint: If using extra hot dogs & chilli, don't add extra buns.)

"Canned Soup".
(My Way!)
Whatever cans of veggies I have, that I like, in cabinet it goes in the pot.....along with all the juices in the cans.
Cook on stove top or Crock pot.
Enjoy!

Canned:
corn
peas
carrots
gr.beans (any variety)
lima beans
wax beans
tomato (any variety)
potatoes (whole or sliced...or both whatever you like)

You get the idea....lol.

Also add a package of shredded cabbage (cole slaw mix).

You can even add a package of onion soup mix.

If it gets to dry and needs more liquids....add tomato juice...V-8...etc.

EASY BEEF STROGANOFF

1 jar Heinz HomeStyle Savory Beef Gravy (12 oz Jar)
1 can mushrooms, drained (7 oz can)
1/2 cup sour cream
4-6 cups hot cooked noodles
salt & pepper, to taste

In a medium skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned and thoroughly cooked. Carefully drain liquids and return to stovetop.

"Corny Beanie Weenies."
(from a country preacher in Mississippiâ¦wife & 2 teenage sons)

Mix one can of good baked beans
We use a good sized can of beans (14-16 ounces, I think) and
get a kind that we like (maybe with brown sugar, onion, and bacon).
There are several kinds of good baked beans.

and a package of Oscar Meier Weiners (all sliced up).

with a can of whole kernel corn (drained)

Any way, heat up these three ingredients, and serve with brown bread
(maybe toasted ?) and a glass of milk.

Until meat is tender.
The first time I mad it I didnât have the Italian Dressing mixâ¦.so I added a pkg. of Onion Soup Mixâ¦.I have to say I liked that better.
If you use more water you might want to add more Brown Gravy mixâ¦.to make a thicker sauce. Was gonna add
potatoes and carrotsâ¦but never got around to it.

If you do not, please do NOT reply. I can do my own research on the internet but am hoping
someone out there has great ideas to share. The internet is filled with cookbooks none of which I am interested in buying unless there is an opinion/ recommendation/ experience attached.

Specifically I would like rice or beef or chicken and veggies casseroles recipes for 1.

Thank you.

PS - I do not know how to enable yahoo communications, hence I cannot email anyone back. Tried and tried, does not work. Please just attach your recipes to your answers if you can. Thank you.

Answer
I find that a lot of the recipe cookbooks called, cooking for one, actually tell you how to make dishes which you can freeze and reheat later. I am currently working on putting my own cookbook together of practical meals to prepare for one...with no leftovers involved. Here are a couple of my recipes which have worked really well for me.
TUNA CASSEROLE (1)
1/2 cup elbow macaroni...cook
1 T. butter
1 T. flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp. instant chicken boullion, dissolved (optional)
1 slice cheddar cheese cut up in small pieces.
1 small pkt. tuna (3 oz.)
Heat above until cheese is melted. Add to the cooked macaroni. Pour in casserole dish
and crush 1 saltine cracker, crumbled, over the top. Dot with butter and put in 400 degree
oven for about 20 min.
________________________________________________________________________
MEATLOAF (1)
1/4 lb. ground chuck
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp mayonnaise
1 Tbs. bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. A-1 steak sauce
2 T. ketchup
Mix gently with hands so as not to mush the ground beef.
Put in baking pan and bake for 20 min. then add the glaze and bake another 5 -10 min.
Glaze
1 tsp. dark Karo syrup
1 tsp. ketchup
1 tsp. brown sugar
Mix glaze ingredients in equal parts or to taste and cover meatloaf with it.
Bake uncovered until coating is cooked. Slice and serve.


SCALLOPED CORN
1 small can creamed corn (8.s5 oz.)
1 Tbs. mayo
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. sugar
salt, pepper to taste.
Top with:
1 Tbs. cracker crumbs
dotted with butter (1 tsp.)
Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 min.

SCALLOPED POTATOES
1 med. potato (partially cooked)
Cook in microwave for 1 min. Cool, to handle.
Peel and slice.
Mix:
1 T. butter
1 T. flour
1/2 cup milk
add to potato slices, stir being careful not to mash the potato slices. add salt & pepper to taste.
Pour in casserole dish. Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 min.
___________________________________________________________________
OVEN GREEN BEANS
1 small can green beans (8oz.)
garlic salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1/2 Tbs. butter
1/2 Tbs. brown sugar
1 strip bacon
Lightly spray/grease a flat baking pan. Lay green beans to cover the bottom of your pan. Sprinkle your beans with a little garlic salt and pepper (however much you like). If you really love garlic, you might consider mixing some fresh mashed garlic or minced canned garlic into the sauce... but you don't have to because this has such a lovely flavor - even without added garlic! Melt your butter in a glass measuring cup and stir your brown sugar into it until well-blended. Pour mixture over your beans evenly. Layer bacon strip over the top of the beans. Cook in the oven on about 350 for about 30 minutes (or until bacon is to desired crispness).
_________________________________________________________________________
CHICKEN AND DRESSING
1/8 tsp. each: ground sage, dried savory and poultry seasoning.
1/4 tsp. instant chicken bouillon granules
2 tsp. dried chopped celery
1/2 tsp. dried minced onion
1/2 tsp. dried parsley leaves, crushed
dash pepper
in a saucepan, add:
1/3 cup water
1 Tbs. butter or margarine
the seasonings from above
Bring to a boil over mediium high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium, simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in:
1/2 cup partially dried 1/2 inch bread cubes. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the liquid is absorbed, stirring constantly.
Add 1/3 cup cubed chicken and 1/2 cup steamed peas. Mix. Put in casserole dish and top with bread crumbs, dotted with butter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Stuffing doesn't have to be cooked inside a turkey - this vegetarian bread stuffing with apples and walnuts is delicious baked as a casserole.
Yield 10 servings
Time an hour
Tools

* large frying pan
* wooden spoon
* large mixing bowl
* two medium or one very large casserole(s), with lids

Ingredients

* ¾ c butter
* 2 c onion, chopped
* 2 c celery, chopped
* 1-2 t salt
* pepper
* 3 t sage
* 3 t thyme
* 1 t marjoram
* 1 t rosemary
* ½ c fresh parsley, chopped
* 2-3 T apple cider vinegar
* 16 c bread cubes*
* 4 c green apples, chopped
* 1½ c raisins (optional)
* 1½ c lightly toasted walnuts, minced
* 2 c vegetable stock

Directions Melt butter or olive oil over medium high heat and sauté onion and celery until soft and starting to turn golden. Add salt, pepper, herb, and vinegar. Mix well and remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 350.

In the bowl, combine bread, apples, raisins, and walnuts. Stir in onion mixture until well combined.

Toss with half of the stock and check consistency - you want the stuffing to be moist but not soggy. Add more stock as needed, then taste and adjust seasonings.

Butter the casseroles, add stuffing, cover, and bake for 45 minutes.







Vegetarian Stuffing
3/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup apple, peeled and diced
2 tsp dried or 3 tbsp. minced fresh parsley

In a small frying pan, sautee the onion, celery and apple until tender with the parsley, sage, salt, cayenne (or regular pepper, if you prefer). This should take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes with onion mixture, cranberries, pecans, vegetable broth, adding slightly more if the bread is very absorbant (some need more liquids), and mix well. Taste one of the cubes and, if necessary, add additional salt or pepper.
Pour into prepared casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until top is crisp and golden.

Going vegetarian, school lunch ideas?

Angela

My veggie-friendly friends have finally talked me, a meat-loving carnivore into going "green". Unfortunately I'm still in eighth grade, and restricted to a school menu. Any help with food ideas?

BTW, about the whole "Your still growing" thing, I haven't grown at all since the sixth grade..;(

Answer
I have been there! I went vegan when I was 12 and it was tough for me, but I managed to eat well at school.

Some ideas:
-bean salads (good beans to use are garbanzos/chickpeas, black beans, and black-eyed beans)
-mock "sloppy joe" sandwiches (use Morningstar brand crumbles in place of beef in any recipe or use on of these recipes: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=9635.0 and http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=15762.0)
-pasta salad
-sandwiches with marinated roasted tofu (available pre-made from Whole Foods and Trader Joes, or look for recipes online)
-vegetarian "meatloaf" (lots of recipes are available online
-baked potato with fixin's or "potato angels" (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=32280.0)
-fruit, yogurt, and granola combo with a hearty muffin (e.g. banana or carrot or bran muffin...there are loads of recipes online)
-hummus with tortilla chips, veggies, or pita chips
-sandwiches with vegetarian "lunchmeat"
-vegetarian chili (with cornbread if you want)
-calzones
-waldorf salad

There are lots of websites with more ideas, too...see sources below

Ousting eggs from baked goods
Eggs are used in baked goods for leavening, or lightness. They also may serve as a binder. The purpose the egg serves in the original recipe â as well as the amount of egg the recipe calls for â determines whether you need a substitute and, if so, which alternate ingredient will best serve the function of the egg in the recipe.

Flat foods such as pancakes and cookies don't rely on eggs for lift. In fact, in many cases, you can eliminate the egg without noticeably affecting the final product. That's especially true if the recipe calls for only one egg. If you do omit the egg, however, it's a good idea to add a tablespoon or two of additional liquid â soymilk, fruit juice, or water, for example â for each egg omitted to restore the recipe to its original moisture content.

When a recipe calls for three or more eggs â as many cakes do â the eggs perform a vital function and need to be replaced with an ingredient that can deliver a similar effect.


In recipes for baked goods that have a light, airy texture, replace eggs with an ingredient that provides lift. Any of the following ingredients can replace one whole egg in a recipe:

Half a small, ripe, mashed banana. This substitution gives the food a mild banana flavor, which can be nice in recipes for muffins, cookies, pancakes, and quick breads.
1/4 cup of any kind of tofu blended with the liquid ingredients in the recipe. Light or reduced-fat tofu cuts down on the fat and calories in the finished product.
1-1/2 teaspoons of a commercial vegetarian egg substitute, such as Ener-G Egg Replacer, mixed with 2 tablespoons of water. This product is a combination of vegetable starches and works wonderfully in virtually any recipe that calls for eggs. Natural foods stores sell it in 1-pound boxes.
1/4 cup of applesauce, canned pumpkin or squash, or pureed prunes. If you use these foods, know that, depending on the recipe, they may add a hint of flavor. If you want to give the food a lighter texture, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, because using fruit purees to replace eggs can make the finished product somewhat denser than the original recipe.
A heaping tablespoon of soy flour or bean flour mixed with a tablespoon of water. This mixture works similarly to vegetarian egg replacer.
2 tablespoons of cornstarch beaten with 2 tablespoons of water. This, too, works much like vegetarian egg replacer.
1 tablespoon of finely ground flaxseeds whipped with 1/4 cup of water. The flaxseeds gel and bind with the other ingredients.
Replacing eggs in casseroles, loaves, burger patties, and main dishes
Some recipes need an ingredient that binds all the other ingredients together. Eggs are famous for acting as the glue that holds meatballs, meatloaf, and casseroles together. Lacto vegetarian and vegan versions of these traditional foods need something to serve the same purpose. Fortunately, you have many options.

As you might suspect, your choice of ingredients to replace eggs in these types of foods depends on the degree of "stick" you need, as well as how the ingredient will blend with the other flavors in the recipe. Cooked oatmeal may work fine as a binder in a veggie burger patty, for example, but may not be a welcome addition to a vegetable casserole if you don't care for the flavor or texture that it brings to the dish.

If you're altering a traditional recipe, you have to experiment a bit to determine just the right amount of an ingredient to serve the purpose. A good starting point with most recipes in which egg acts as a binder is to use 2 to 3 tablespoons of any of the following ingredients (or a combination of them) to replace one whole egg. If the original recipe calls for two eggs, start with 4 to 6 tablespoons of egg substitute.


Tomato paste
Arrowroot starch
Potato starch
Cornstarch
Whole-wheat, unbleached, oat, or bean flour
Finely crushed breadcrumbs, cracker meal, or matzo meal
Quick-cooking rolled oats or cooked oatmeal
Mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, or instant potato flakes
You can also try 1/4 cup of any kind of tofu blended with 1 tablespoon of flour or 1-1/2 teaspoons vegetarian egg replacer mixed with 2 tablespoons of water.

Replacing eggs in sandwich fillings, salads, and scrambled eggs
Finding substitutes for eggs that are hidden in recipes is one thing; finding suitable substitutes for eggs that are more visible in foods is quite another. Fortunately, tofu looks remarkably like cooked egg whites and functions in much the same way in several popular recipes.

You can use chopped firm or extra-firm tofu in place of egg whites in egg salad. Use your favorite egg salad recipe, but substitute tofu for the hard-boiled eggs. You can even replace regular mayonnaise with soy mayonnaise for a vegan version.
Cubes of chopped firm tofu are a nice addition to a mixed green salad or spinach salad, standing in for the customary chopped hard-boiled eggs. You can also add chopped or minced tofu to a bowl of Chinese hot and sour soup.
Try scrambled tofu instead of scrambled eggs at breakfast. Natural foods stores stock "tofu scrambler" seasoning packets, which you may also find in the produce section of your regular supermarket, near the tofu. Many vegetarian cookbooks give recipes for scrambled tofu. The recipes usually include turmeric to give the tofu a yellow color similar to that of scrambled eggs. You can also use scrambled tofu to fill pita pockets or as a sandwich filling on hoagie rolls.

Anybody have a good recipe for meatless "meatloaf"?

beckini

Answer
Someone posted this recipe recently and I made it last week. It was DELICIOUS! My husband also loved it and he is not vegetarian. I have sent the recipe out to everyone in my family because we loved it so much. It was easy to make. Just be sure to give it plenty of time to cook in the oven. We cooked it a little longer than the recipe called for.

Really Good Vegetarian Meatloaf (really!)

High in fiber and protein, low in fat, easy and really yummy! I've always think meatloaf looks and smells so delicious and savory so, as a vegetarian, I decided to make a no-meat version! This is basically our favorite meatloaf recipe but with cooked mashed lentils instead of ground meat. The result is a very tasty dinner!
SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup lentils
1 small onion, diced
1 cup quick-cooking oat
3/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar, swiss, jack or american)
1 egg, beaten
4 1/2 ounces spaghetti sauce or tomato sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1Add salt to water and boil in a saucepan.
2Add lentils and simmer covered 25-30 minutes, until lentils are soft and most of water is evaporated.
3Remove from fire.
4Drain and partially mash lentils.
5Scrape into mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
6Stir in onion, oats and cheese until mixed.
7Add egg, tomato sauce, garlic, basil, parsley, seasoning salt and pepper.
8Mix well.
9Spoon into loaf pan that has been generously sprayed with Pam (non-stick cooking spray) or well-greased.
10Smooth top with back of spoon.
11Bake at 350 degrees for 30- 45 minutes until top of loaf is dry, firm and golden brown.
12Cool in pan on rack for about 10 minutes.
13Run a sharp knife around edges of pan then turn out loaf onto serving platter.

Former meatloaf consumers, need your help?

Neccosan

http://www.food.com/recipe/really-good-vegetarian-meatloaf-really-33921

I made a vegetarian meatloaf, but before I became vegetarian, I never really had meatloaf. Much less I don't know what it supposed to taste like. I followed the recipe and the top was done but the inside was somewhat mushy. It's good though, but I'm not sure if this is what supposed to happen? Do I need to put it in the oven longer? I'm not sure. Thanks!

Answer
Yeah, meatloaf is quite mushy by nature. That's part of what makes it so delicious, actually.

Whether I use meat (for husband) or lentils (for both of us), I try to let the loaf 'stand' for about 5 minutes or so once I take it out of the oven. This helps the juices redistribute and that helps firm it up.

Here's my recipe:

1 19oz can red lentils, drained and rinsed, then shaken dry in the colander (eliminating a lot of extra moisture)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup finely diced pepper (green pepper looks pretty, but use what's on hand)
1 egg, lightly beaten (or egg replacer if going for something vegan)
8 oz canned tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup quick oats.

Combine it all and press into a loaf pan.

Glaze:

1/3 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon mustard (use your favourite... grainy dijon is awesome, but use yellow or regular dijon if that's what you have).

Bake at 375 for an hour, and let stand for 5-10 mins afterwards.

This loaf will firm as it cools to the point where you can make 'meat'loaf sandwiches out of it for lunch the next day (awesome on soft bread with mayo....)!

Anyone have any great vegetarian/vegan recipes?

Just right

I am going vegetarian. I am not yet sure what kind of vegetarian. I attempted this before and I lasted two weeks. I am trying again. I am starting out by cutting out red meat, which I rarely eat anyway. Then I will continue by cutting out white meat, and whatever else I decide to live without. Any great recipes for me anyone? :)
Please and thank you

Answer
It's important not to just cut out meat. You have to be thinking about beans, nuts, seeds, soy, eggs/dairy (if not going vegan) and ways to make those.

Try substituting beans for meat in your favourite recipes, eg black beans, partly mashed into a packet of the taco seasoning and water you'd add to ground beef for taco night. Try grating a portobello mushroom into tomato sauce instead of ground beef. I like tofu in stirfries instead of chicken (takes practice to have tofu taste other than bland - experiment!). I like making meatloaf with a can of white beans instead of meat - mash them and use your favourite meatloaf recipe from there...

Many meals can naturally be made vegetarian... load a pizza crust with tomato sauce and tons of veggies before baking, make a frittata for dinner, pasta with tomato sauce and vegetarian parmesan cheese (look for one with bacterial culture, not rennet)...

Lunch and breakfast are easy... most of my friends don't know I'm veg when they see me eating pj or cheese sandwiches for lunch! Many breakfast cereals are higher in protein, eg. kashi/Vector.

Tastespotting.com is a round-up of many food blogs from around the world. They have a search term, eg veggie burger, and frequently feature vegetarian/vegan menu items for when you're looking for something new.

Seitan vs tofu "turkeys"?

Brook

So last year for Thanksgiving I made a stuffed tofu loaf ("tofurkey" if you will.) I really enjoyed it, but I've been eating a lot of soy lately, so I'm thinking tofu may not be the greatest thing to have for Thanksgiving dinner (and lunch the next few days.) My little sister, though, insists on having a fake turkey that night. So I was wondering if anyone has ever tried making a stuffed seitan loaf/turkey? I've never had seitan, but I've heard great things about it. Anyone have any reviews or tried and true recipes? I'm not really interested in premade products if there are any, but tips on making just plain seitan would be welcomed as well. Thanks in advance! :)
2b2gbi and marsh: I am not a fruitarian, nor does my religion prohibit me from causing harm to plants. If you believe that people should refrain from eating or using plant products, that is your business, but I would prefer that you do not preach to me as I have not and will not preach to you. Also, your responses in no way answer my question.
Oops, I guess those two deleted their answers. Please ignore the above added details. :)

Answer
Seitan roasts are quite easy to make and a delicious alternative to soy turkey roasts. This recipe I have made and is quite delicious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npw2LKpag5o&feature=channel. The exact recipe with measurements can be found at everydaydish.tv. I halved the recipe since there are only a couple vegetarians in my family. You can make this seitan roast fancy by adding a glaze to it and by using the puff pastry (most puff pastry is vegan, just check the ingredients) crust.

Another suggestion I have is this vegetarian meatloaf. http://www.vegnews.com/web/articles/page.do?pageId=1489&catId=11 I've made this too and it's really tasty. I usually like to add extra sauteed onions, garlic and mushroom for more flavor. I like that this recipe contains less processed foods. However, it doesn't taste anything like turkey, but it is another option that goes great with traditional Thanksgiving side dishes.

What are the benifits of becoming a vegetarian???

theraptor

I am interested in becoming a vegetarian. It is health driven as well as cruelty toward animals driven. Are the health benifits worth giving up meat? Also any advice to giving up meat would be appreciated and how to handle family situations when the rest of family and friends eat meat would be appreciated!!!!

Answer
Oh my gosh, some people are so silly. You can have a healthy diet as a vegetarian just like you can have one as a meat eater. I'm not a vegetarian but I do have a few vegetarian recipes that I use and my meat eating family loves them.

Stay away from the processed "fake meats" though, those aren't healthy by any stretch of the imagination. You can do wonders with tofu, and I even make a meatloaf with cottage cheese that is suprisingly good. Here's a few I use if you'd like to try them.

As for your family and friends, they'll get used to it eventually. My family freaked a bit when my sister went vegetarian but now everyone's used to it. Good luck to you!

Fun & Unique Ground Beef Recipes?

Shamaii

Okay, let me start off by saying I love to cook.
But things like Spaghetti and Meatballs, Meatloaf, Chili, we have that all the time.
That bores me.
I have 1 basic package of ground beef. (I'm not exactly sure how many pounds that is)
I'm basically open to anything, but since it's about 3:30 where I am now, it has to be done by 7:30 at the latest.
I'd appreciate recipes with basic ingredients, but if I have to run out to the grocery store, I will.
It has to be able to feed 3 adults and 2 teenagers.
So if you could find something like that, it would be very helpful.
No one is allergic to anything, or has any vegetarian/vegan rules.
Myself, I'm 13.
So I need something that's not too hard, but not too easy either.
I've been cooking for a long while, so I know the basics.
Plus I like a challenge.
You can post the recipe down below, just be sure to post the ingredients and process too, or else I can't really use it.
Or you could give me a website(s) with recipes.
Just make sure it's something unique and fun, not something basic.
When I cook, I like to make it special and different.
Well, thanks for all your help. xx

Answer
MANICOTTI :
(This is incredibly easy....)

-- Saute' onions and garlic in oil until translucent. Add about a pound of ground beef and ground pepper. Cook till meat is done. Drain. Allow to cool.
-- Mix with ricotta cheese (or half ricotta and half cottage cheese). Stuff into the shells. Place the shells in a greased baking dish.
-- Cover with Spaghetti Sauce (home-made or canned). Cover with Parmesan and/or Mozzerella. Can use romano cheese as well.
-- Bake at 350 F until the cheese is browned and the sauce is bubbling --- probably 30-45 minutes.

ALSO, the recipes on this page all look interesting and i suppose taste equally good!!.... (tried a couple myself... ;)))

How do I convert my child into a vegetarian?

valerie

I am a mother of one, and for about 2 years now, my husband and I have been eating a vegetarian lifestyle. My son is 7 years old and before we stopped eating meat, I would make meals like Pasta with sausage, meatloaf, baozi (Chinese dumpling with meat). Since we stopped eating meat, I have still been incorporating meat into my son's meals because I thought it was necessary for him to have the protein.

Recently I learned that meat protein is NOT required in our diets, in fact it's harder for our bodies to digest hard proteins that are found in meats and animal products.

Now, I tried to stop giving meat to my son altogether, but he's having a hard time adjusting to not eating meat. Have any of you experienced this with your child and have any words of advice to give me that would help? Child friendly vegetarian recipes? Please Help! Thanks.
I am a vegetarian, and if you dont like it move along. This question is for the likeminded. :) Note category or gtfo.
Human beings are not carnivores, they are classified as omnivores, therefor, meat is not a required part of the human diet. Beef collects and backs up your digestive system, No thanks! And if yo saw where your food came from, I highly doubt you'd still want to eat it. Most of the pigs, cows, chickens that you people are stuffing into your mouths are living their entire lives basting in their own fecal matter. Yummmmmy.
And do your research... The Human being DOES NOT thrive on meat. We are living creatures and thrive off of other living things. I mean, if you're a vulture or a hyena, then I could understand why you'd wanna eat something dead.
EDIT: @Jimanddottaylor: Parents who feed their kids processed meat, sugars, and fast food should be arrested for child abuse if you ask me.

Answer
My mom raised me vegetarian for the first five years of my life. She gave me meat substitutes, and I couldn't even tell that it wasn't real meat. They have meat substitutes for everything. I suggest a brand called "Gardein." They have vegan chicken nuggets, wings, ribs, burgers, turkey, etc. The food is delicious, and it taste just like meat. Plus It doesn't have all of the cholesterol, fat, hormones, etc, that are in meat. For good deli meat substitutes, use the brand Tofurkey. They have tons of vegan deli meats, sausage, cheese steak, etc. My favorite vegan hot dog is from a brand called Soy Boy. The product itself is called "Not Dogs." I grew up on them. They taste much better than hot dogs IMO, and don't have all the crap in them that normal hot dogs have. You can substitute fake meats for any recipe. If a recipe calls for chicken broth, use vegetable broth instead.

While the fake meats are good for taste issues, they can be highly processed, so use them sparingly. Make sure he gets lots of fruits, veggies, sea veggies, seeds, nuts, beans, grains, lentils, herbs, sprouts, etc. Limit processed oils and sugars.

Vegetarian diet, what do i eat?

rainbow ca

I have recently turned vegetarian. I'm not sure what to eat and my parents are annoyed with me because i don't get enough protein.

What are simple meals that are healthy and that i can do everyday and still get full nutrition?

Answer
Food, silly.

Fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and beans--that covers quite a bit of ground, wouldn't you say?

As for protein, even vegans get more protein than they really need. You don't want too much protein because it strips calcium from your bones (animal protein is especially acidic, causing calcium loss) and taxes your kidneys.

If you're parents think you aren't getting enough protein there are three possible reasons: 1) they've fallen for the protein myth like most people; 2) you don't get enough calories; or 3) you eat mostly junk food.

Some simple meals: A bean and rice burrito with salsa or grilled veggies.

Pasta witih marinara sauce. If you saute some kale/collards/greens and pour the marinara over it, it's really healthy.

A stir fry with cubed tofu or tempeh instead of meat. Many grocery stores also carry vegetarian meal-starter strips that are designed for stir-fries or fajitas. Lightlife makes "beef" and "chicken" varieties.

A veggie burger with oven-baked fries.

If you like meatloaf, you can make veggie versions. Google Vegetarian Loaf Studio, and there's a website where you can customize your own veggie loaf.

www.vegweb.com has tons of recipes.

Is there such thing as "vegetarian" meatloaf? Can you help provide a recipe?

Terry 81

By meatloaf, I mean something that sort of resembles a meatloaf made from ground beef (except using soy flour or some other vegetarian ingredient). It can contain eggs and/or milk-- no need to be vegan. Thanks.

Answer
Here's the meatloaf recipe I use...I found it on vegcooking.com. The ironic thing about this is that I HATED meatloaf when I was a meat-eater, but I like this version (go figure!). Enjoy!

~Mama's Mock Meatloaf~
Better than what mom used to make. Serve it with ketchup, mashed potatoes, and gravy.

1 medium onion, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced (optional)
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 packages beefâflavor Gimme Lean Beef
1/4 cup oatmeal, dry
2 slices white bread, crumbled
3 Tbsp. ketchup
2 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. pepper

Coating ingredients:
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

⢠Sauté the onion and green pepper in the oil over medium heat until soft. Combine in a bowl with the ground beef alternative, oatmeal, bread, ketchup, garlic salt, and pepper. Thoroughly mix with a spoon or your hands.
⢠Press the mixture into an oiled loaf pan. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.
⢠Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the coating and set aside.
⢠Remove the loaf from the oven and turn it out onto a baking sheet. Spread the coating over the entire loaf. Cook, uncovered, for another 15 minutes.

Answer
Sauces for Meatballs

See Meatballs recipe for using with these sauces. Vegetarians see Vegetarian Meatloaf to accompany these sauces, substituting vegetable broth for chicken or beef broth.

1. Sauce for Spaghetti

Note: The source of this recipe is unknown. It is an evolution of recipes tried over the past 3 decades. If pork neck bones are available, they impart a nice sweet taste to the sauce, but must be kept separate, because the bones are extremely small and can remain undetected in the sauce. (Steamers are effective, if not clumsy, in that they allow the bones to cook in sauce while keeping them separated.)

1/2-1 lb hamburger or meatballs
2-3 Italian sausages, sweet or hot, cut in thirds

1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
3-4 mushrooms, chopped
1-2 carrots, peeled, cut lengthwise in half, then in thirds (opt)

2 28-oz cans whole tomatoes, chopped, liquid reserved
2 8-oz cans tomato sauce
2 small cans tomato paste
1/2 cp red wine

1 t crushed dried basil
1 t crushed dried oregano
2 bay leaves, crumbled
dash salt and pepper

1. Saute onion and garlic. Add mushrooms and saute another minute or two.
2. Add hamburger and chop up well.
3. Add tomato ingredients and spices and mix well, then add sausages.
4. Cook over low heat about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally
