Good Vegetarian Recipes?

Question

I'm 16 years old and i'm starting this New Year's Resolution: I can't eat meat. Well, almost. I can't eat any land animals. I allow myself to eat white meat chicken sometimes, because i have a muscle disease and i must eat protein. So, with all that being said, does anyone have any good vegetarian recipes that meat eaters might enjoy? I need some desperately! Also, i need tips on food i can bring for lunch at school. Thanks so much!

Answer 1

There are some damn good vegetarian recipes out there. Any food with meat in it can be altered to a vegetarian version.



For example, next time you go to the market, look for the companies Morningstar and Boca. They are companies that make vegetarian food. Morningstar products have green colored bags and boxes, Boca has red colored bags and boxes.



Morningstar makes chicken nuggets/tenders, sausage patties, chicken strips, chicken patties, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, sausage egg and cheese biscuits, bacon egg and cheese biscuits, bacon, crumblies (this is the vegetarian version of ground beef. Tastes amazing.)



Boca makes chicken patties, hamburgers, and crumblies.



You can use a bag of crumblies instead of a pound of ground beef and make yourself tacos with cheese! (I absolutely love vegetarian tacos)



Also, pasta is fine, rice is good, if you want flavored rice, dirty/spanish/wild rice is really good.



You can still have fish sticks/fish fillets



You can think of anything and just substitute the meat for crumblies. For sausage crumblies, just break up a sausage patty. So if you want to make a sausage and cheese Stromboli, you'd get a box of sausage patties by morningstar and cook them, then break them up until crumbles and use them in place of real sausage.

Whether you’re a vegetarian or looking to eat more meat-free meals for better health, these easy vegetarian recipes are a delicious way to incorporate more vegetables, beans and whole grains into your diet. More and more, people are realizing that going meatless even once or twice a week can have real health benefits, including weight loss and reduced risk for heart disease. Why? Plant-based foods, such as vegetables, beans and lentils, are low in saturated fat and full of fiber, which helps you feel satisfied on fewer calories. (Most Americans eat only about half the 25 to 38 grams of fiber that’s recommended each day.) Plus, when you plan more vegetarian dinners you’ll save on grocery bills and reduce your carbon footprint: the worldwide meat industry generates nearly one-fifth of manmade greenhouse-gas emissions, according to the United Nations. Eating more simple vegetarian meals will help you save money too. These delicious vegetarian recipes showcase some of the staples of vegetarian cuisine and provide tasty culinary inspiration and cooking tips for every vegetable lover.
