    I have been vegetarian for 15 years. Would love to connect with more on here and get meal ideas. I find myself always hungry and constantly snacking since joining MFP. I think I need to up my protein.

    You - and everyone else - can add me!

    I was a vegetarian for about a year and a half. Last March I moved away for work on an indian reservations. The youth center I worked at had long hours and we fed the kids dinner, mostly simple and filling meat-and-potato type meals like chili and tacos. Some short terms staff and volunteers stood by their morals and remained vegetarian, but for me as a full time employee the choice to eat seemed clear. In a place where healthy and nutritious food is sometimes hard to come by, I never felt right refusing to eat in front of the kids. And honestly, I couldnt manage the long hours without dinner and fiber one bars in my office didn't cut it.

    Now I am back in my home state of Kansas and ready to adapt back to a vegetarian lifestyle. I enjoy meat and support local farmers who raise livestock in a healthy and natural way, and are respectful of their animals. But I no longer feel validated in eating meat now that I am back home with other options.

    Having veggie friends on here sure would help. Re-starting MFP for the first time since last March. Add me if you want!

    I've been vegan 1 year, octo-lavo for 14 years before that. I added you, anyone can feel free to add me!


    My meal diary is public for friends. A lot of the recipes I use are from http://www.theppk.com/ It's actually possible to eat alfredo sauces, curries and more when the sauce base is butternut squash, zucchini, cashews, etc :) It's weird, since starting my food diary a few weeks ago, my cravings have already shifted - I look forward to my steamed veggies now!

    You can easily make a tasty, aromatic curry dressing for veggies using curry paste from the local Asian market, blended with toasted fennel and cumin seeds, a bit of mild vinegar like mirin, and some water.

    I also like the book, 30 minute vegan. Short, easy recipes, most of them very healthy.

    Finally, I'm experimenting with getting lots of protein by adding protein powder to my green smoothies. It's a vegan rice/pea blend from http://www.truenutrition.com. Mine has light vanilla flavoring so it satisfies my sugar tooth :)

    Trying to be vegetarian, so far it's only been a week. I hope I continue I feel great with more energy. I found lots of great recipes with spaghetti squash. My dad is a mushroom farmers, so I have been eating mushroom burgersI'm eating flaxmeal pancakes with fruit in them. kale chips for snack along with fresh fruits and vegies. Lite green bites is a good website for recipes with fresh vegetables also.

    I am newly vegetarian! (about the past 4 months or so.) I don't eat much dairy, but I love cheese.

    It's been pretty easy so far, as I wasn't as big meat-eater in the first place, but I'm always looking for new recipes and inspiration!
