Vegetarian Log, Recipes, and much more!

**cinn&sprinslave** · #1 10-23-04, 07:48 pm

Ok so this a vegetarian log where we can post what we eat once in a while, recipes that are for vegetarians, and restraunts that have a vegetarian section etc.
Hopefully this will help people going veggy (or thinking about it) to stay veggy.

This is what I ate today-
Breakfast- Cererial (sp), soy milk, 1/2 a bagel with jam
Lunch/Dinner- Vegetable Soup (no chicken broth), and tiny slice of cheese pizza, Dr. Pepper

Thanks Mncavylover the first link was very helpful! (Haven't looked at the rest)

B: granola cereal w/milk (granola is great--adds protein, iron, vitamins, etc.)
L: veggie wrap (red pepper, romaine, cheddar cheese), milk, two peanut butter cookies (protein!)
D: spaghetti, home-made sauce, milk, a slice of cake

By the way, going veggie isn't all about giving up--you can find all sorts of wonderful fakes out there! TVP (textured veggie protein) is one, as are soy products. This is not yet a part of my diet because I haven't found a supplier as of yet.

Ok, I hope they're good. I have only looked at the top one as well, aside from a few glances at the rest to make sure they were appropriate. Any comments/suggestions on the sites would be great!

Have any of you tried quorn? Mmmm.... I love it.

TinaFabulous · #8 10-24-04, 10:26 am

I'm going shopping with my mom today, so then Ill have something to eat when I take a second chance at veggie, I really had nothing to eat around here...

TinaFabulous · #9 10-24-04, 10:27 am

whats quorn?

**Piglet** · #10 10-24-04, 10:42 am

Its a meat substitute and its quite healthy http://www.quorn.co.uk/

**mncavylover** · #11 10-24-04, 03:34 pm

Cool! I wish that we had that "V" label here, then I wouldn't have to read every package.

**Piglet** · #12 10-24-04, 03:44 pm

The V label is so useful!

I like some quorn products like the chicken (rather than beef) style burgers, but don't like things like the pieces of it or the mince (but I never really liked mince anyway!). I'm not generally a fan of products that are designed to taste/ feel like meat as the reaosn I don't have meat is because I don't like it!

If you're looking for a good veggie sausage in the UK, Cauldron Foods make the best ones in my opinion - they put Quorn and Linda McCartney to shame! The Lincolnshire and Cumberland style ones are my favourites.

In the food diary vein of things, yesterday I had....

Breakfast: Boiled eggs and toast
Lunch: Jacket potato with butter, cheese, salad and mixed pulses (Sainsbury's tinned mixed bean salad - love the stuff!)
Tea: Lentil and spinach curry with rice, and a yoghurt, cucumber and mint sauce for the side.
Snacks: Several pieces of fruit, some mixed nuts and some Thorntons chocolates

I just has some Linda McCartney food for lunch. Its ok... I love those quorn pieces, they're my favorite! I had them yesterday and they didn't taste like meat, but they were nice.

Yesterday
Cereal
Pasta with peppers, quorn and sweetcorn
Pepper curry, plain yoghurt and rice
Biscuits and some fruit

The only thing I've had that resembles meat (well... besides the fish, yuck!) was two veggie burgers. I can't even find those anywhere now; I searched in three stores with no luck. This stinks.

I myself am not a Vegetarian but my daughter is.....she has a hard time w/school lunches and is tired of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...You mentioned Fakes out there....I was wondering where we could find fake bologna and such for sandwiches. Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance!
