Answer 1

It takes awhile to build up recipes. I began with a handful of recipes, but over time they built up. Go on the internet and find some recipes that are easy to make, you can also modify recipes to make them vegetarian friendly.

Here are three of my easiest recipes:

"Vegetable Rice Soup"

1 Cup White Rice (Quick Cook)
6 Cups Water*
½ Cup Parsley (Chopped)
10 oz Box, Mixed Vegetables (can also use fresh vegetables of your choice-I like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, etc)
1 Medium Onion
Pepper/Salt to taste

*alternative - 4 Cups vegetable Broth and 1 Cup water

-Cook rice according to package.
-Bring water/vegetable broth to a boil.
-Add in vegetables, rice, parsley, and onion.
-Reduce heat
-Cook until vegetables are tender.

"Garlic Broccoli Pasta"

1 box of angel hair pasta
1 head of broccoli broken into pieces
A few cloves of fresh garlic

-Fill a pot with water.
-Then put some salt and the garlic cloves in. Bring to a rapid boil.
-While boiling add the angel hair pasta. Cook for 1 minute.
-Add the broccoli to the cooking angel hair pasta. Cook for 2 minutes.
-Empty into a strainer. Flavor with a little olive oil, garlic salt, and pasta seasoning before serving.

"Cup-A-Lasagna"

Whole grain flour tortillas
Tomato sauce
Grated cheese (mozzarella, cheddar or soy cheese)
Grated Parmesan
Ricotta cheese
Chopped raw spinach

-Break the flour tortilla into pieces the size of the cup bottom.
-Heat the sauce very hot. Layer tortillas, cheeses, sauce and spinach, which will melt together nicely.

Answer 2

I don't consume much ready to eat food besides fruits and vegetables. But that is more so because I am a vegan and they often contain animal derivatives. They also cost more and aren't as healthy for you as freshly prepared food. Though there are many things to choose from if you go that route. There are even microwavable TV dinners that I can eat. Smart dogs, Bocaburgers, seitan and that's just naming a few. Check your local markets.

My best advice to you would be to buy a vegetarian cookbook. Aside from that there are numerous options. I tend to eat a lot of rice and beans. Both are easy to prepare and you can add any combination of vegetables you like. And it can be seasoned differently to add variation. I also do the same with pasta. I am also very fond of tempeh. You can find it in most health/organic food stores. I crumble it up and marinate it in BBQ sauce and worcestershire sauce. Saute some onions and peppers until the onion become translucent. Add in the marinated tempeh and saute for a few minutes (until hot). Put it on some bread and enjoy. I also eat it with a spoon.

Again, there are many options available to you. Don't forget about fresh fruits. I am often busy so I sometimes use a protein shake meal replacer if I don't have time to cook. And when I do cook, I cook in larger amounts so I can save time later. Go to the store and see what is available. I think you should be very surprised!

Well, you can eat fruits, veggies, grains, beans, nuts--the possibilities are endless.

I swear I should put my tofu tips in my profile, as I see a lot of questions from newbie veg*ans.

You can throw tofu, tempeh, or seitan into a stir-fry. You can use TVP, veggie crumbles, or tempeh to make a chili. You can make all sorts of veggie stews (when the weather starts cooling down).

www.vegweb.com should have some fairly easy recipes, and if you like veggie loafs, there is a site called the Adventist Loaf Studio where you indicate what ingredients you have or want, and it tells you how to make a lovely veggie loaf.

Really, the possibilities are endless.

I'm not a vegetarian but one of my favorite dishes is meat-less. Hungarian halushki. ( hal-lush-key )
Take a large head of cabbage. Cut it up into small pieces, about the size of the end joint of your little finger.
Melt one stick ( quarter pound ) of butter or margarine in a large pot. Pour in the cabbage and cook down until the cabbage begins to turn brown. Keep stiring once in a while.
In the mean time, in another pot , cook wide noodles. When both are done, mix together. It will need some salt. The more cabbage to noodles, he better it tasts.
It's very filling, delicious, and easy to make - - - but takes a little time to cook down. Just make sure the water is cooked out of the cabbage and the cabbage begins to turn brown. Don't make mush of the cbbage, though. If you think it needs a little more butter, toss it in.

Answer 5

Boca obviously makes Boca burgers, but if you're used to eating real hamburgers, make sure you have lettuce, tomato, and other condiments. That way they test better, and of course get the extra veggies. Boca also makes chicken nuggets which are really good.

Morningstar makes what I think are called Meal Starters. They have "ground beef," "steak strips," and "chicken strips." I use the "ground beef" in tons of recipes.

Gardenburger also makes vegetarian and vegan burgers (make sure to look at the box) , veggie crumbles (ground beef), and my favorite - bbq riblets. Oh they're so yummy!

Tofu is also a great addition to a vegan diet, if you haven't started eating that. It's cheap (about $2 a block), high in protein, and low in fat (as are all veggie protein substitutes). It tastes bland by itself, but will take on the flavor of whatever marinade or sauce you use. I definitely suggest the firm or extra firm varieties.

Answer 6

Ok a vegetarian eats anything except meat products. You can eat whatever you want as long as it has nothing to do with meat...i'm a vegetarian myself and i eat anything i want, that isn't meat A vegan doesn't eat anything that comes from animals like eggs and milk,and cheese cause it has milk in it, if it has any product that came from an animal vegans don't eat it hope that helped :D
