    Good for you for making the big leap! I can honestly say going vegetarian was the best thing I have ever done for my health.

    Your comment about your friends asking you what you're going to eat as a vegetarian brings up a rather sore spot with me... I hate it when nosy, albeit well-meaning, coworkers or friends say things like: "That can't be good for you - how are you going to get protein?".

    I track my nutrition on this very website, and I can see that through my well-rounded, whole foods (most of the time) diet, I get more than enough protein, even without meat or dairy!

    When they push enough, I have to hold my sarcastic tongue: What I WANT to say is: "All the protein from your cheeseburgers, fried chicken, pepperoni and bologna is doing wonders for your complexion."

    But I don't say it. Because I have manners.

    I am a "sort of" vegetarian. If you love the barbecue - veggie patch veggie burgers are the best in my humble opinion. I really miss the real beef burger but my stomach can't tolerate them. These are the best of all the veggie burgers I have tried. Also, throw some veggies on the grill with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. YUM!

    I will have to try those! I have purchased the Veggie Patch falafels in the past, which were really good.

    Hands down - my favorite veggie burger is Amy's Quarter Pound Burgers. OMG! They are delicious. They are 210 calories, though, which, while still way less than meat, is twice the amount of calories in most other frozen commercial veggie burgers.

    Maybe I'll have to try the Amy's :) Thanks Jen!

    Where I'm from, there's these great chickpea and lentil soups that come in jars, but i haven't seen them anywhere else so they must be local...
    But try finding recipes with beans like that. Delicious and a great source of protein!
