Mmmmmm! Food!

There are tons of easy and fun food options for beginning vegetarians that make the transition a lot easier to handle. Think simple. We don't JUST eat SALADS (although there are a lot of fun salads to make!)

Today, I am going to give you some tips for easy, on the go, out to eat, or day to day foods for the veggie-lover inside of you.

On-the-go (Quick meals/snacks)

-Grilled Cheese Sandwich: That's right, just grill a few pieces of bread with some cheese on a skillet and stick 'em together. Heat up a bowl of Tomato Soup on the side, and you're set!

*Wanna spruce up that grilled cheese? Slice a few tomato slices and add some baby spinach, a sprinkle of garlic powder and basil, and you have yourself an italian, melt-in-your-mouth grilled cheese!

-Mac n' cheese: Whether its from the box, or home made with fresh pasta and melted cheeses, its one of my favorites!

*Wanna spice it up? Add some bac'n bits (YES! They are vegetarian!) and black pepper, or get some Smartdogs, or Tofu Pups (vegetarian hot-dogs) slice them up and add them in for some extra protein!

Also think about:

Breakfast: Oatmeal, Cereal, Protein Bars/drinks, French Toast, Eggs, Toast, Pancakes, Morningstar veggie sausage links or patties, Tofu-scramble or Tofu-quiche, and Smoothies.

Lunch: Veggie Burgers and Veggie-dogs, Pizza, BLT sandwich with Morningstar 'Facon", and Salads ( spruce them up with your favorite cheeses, crutons, dressings and veggies or fruit!

Dinner: Veggie Stir-fry with tofu, snap peas, baby corn, carrots, broccoli, and rice or noodles, Tofu-loaf ( like meat loaf, but better!), Tacos, burritos, enchiladas or fajitas with rice and beans, and guacamole, Quorn chik'n patties or grilled chicken in any dish you please, and Pasta dishes galore!

Soon, I will be posting fun recipes that I enjoy making and, of course, eating! But for now, have fun and start experimenting with food!
