Vegan for meat lovers?

Question

My husband & I have been slowly making switches in our diet to all organics......There are some things we plan on keeping non-vegan, such as eggs, cheese...and only on special occassions steak.Our resoning for the switch is mostly for the change in the way most meats and other food products are handled before delivered to a supermarket.... Way made the switch to soy milk sincemilk cows were still being pumped w/ sterroids and other things i wish not to discuss and alsoslowly making SOME (not all meat changes) due to the handling and unknown freshness factor....Our Diet has always been perfectly balanced and extremely healthy for omnivoires (eat everything)......but we need more ideas for High Protein Vegan recipies as we are making some changes.......Any ideas?

We're not looking to switch to completely vegan lifestyles....I enjoy vegan cuisine....However if you notice the title "VEGAN FOR MEATLOVERS" we just want to add healthy variety to our diet and prove to ourselves we don't always need meat......(ex- we eat portabella mushroom steaks in rotation w/ beef, ON SPECIAL OCCASSIONS)

There are more than only health reasons to switch to a vegan diet.

There are environmental reasons that have to do with the way factory farms are polluting the earth and water .

Your beliefs are founded on misinformation
most governments are testing and the ranchers have the same concerns (The Health and Quality of their stock and products)
but that is your choice
The fines for steroids use in livestock is too high
remember milk is tested daily.

FOR sure I don't care
