    I'm not solely vegetarian (yet...lol?), but I have severely limited my intake of meat & animal byproducts. I am eating lots of beans now, in addition to lots of veggies & fruit. I'm happy to trade recipes! :flowerforyou:

    I just joined this site. I haven't gone fully veggie but I love the way I feel when I do. I have been reading books by Victoria Boutenko and she is really inspirational. Also if anyone is in Austin Daily Juice is an amazing place for vegetarians. Take a look at their website for inspiration if you make your own smoothies. Also checkout the Moosewood cookbook for great recipes; It is an oldie but a goodie.

    Looking forward to learning new things from all of you out there.

    I've been a vegetarian for 24 years, since I was a teenager. I love to cook & experiment in the kitchen (unusual cookbooks are a weakness of mine). Feel free to add me. I'm always happy to share recipes.

    I've been a vegetarian for only about four months now, and I always eat the same stuff so I'd love it if someone had some good ideas or anything.

    Hi SparkleKitty! Already friends with you, but I wanted to share this recipe!

    It is a healthy version of eggplant parmesan, only 300 calories per serving and very delicious!

    I got it off of another forum on here and made it last night. Yum yum!

    I've been a vegetarian for 7 years and always like to try new things.

    I'm a vegetarian and I try to eat mostly vegan at home but I don't limit myself to a vegan diet when eating out. Would love some new low cal recipes that ward off hunger!

    hey! here is my newest recipe since I really missed the taco dip my friend make

    1st layer guacamole (1 large or 2 small avocados, juice from 1 lemon, 1-2 garlic cloves)
    2nd layer - salsa (can make your own or buy it)
    3rd layer - black beans
    top with fresh chopped veggies like red and green peppers, onion, tomato, and if you like some black olives

    I would love to hear more ideas! someone also recently posted a recipe for lentil/oat meatloaf

    I am new to being a vegetarian so I would LOVE some recipes! I have been having bad stomach pains after eating and lots of bloating so they tested me for celiacs and it was neg. One day I only ate some chicken and got sick and since then I stopped eating meat and no more stomach pain and bloating!!!!

    Are any of you into clean eating? I have been reading about it for awhile. I am going to try it for a month. It seems a little challenging to do this as a vegetarian. If anyone has experience with clean eating and vegetarian I would love to become friends and offer support

    I used to be and then I got into some bad habits with kids and significant others. However, I'm back as I was never in the least bit overweight when I ate veg. I'm going vegan until I hit my running weight. I use sprouted rice protein powder in all my fresh juiced veg and fruit drinks to keep my calories and energy up. I go through about 35 lbs of fruit and vegetables a week. My juicer is my best health buddy. I just figure in advance if I'm going to make a sweet or savory drink and then there is no limit to what I'll juice.

    My favorite salad is (2 oz uncooked) 5 oz cooked whole wheat penne rigate pasta cooled. One diced tomato. One diced small avocado. One tbsp good balsamic vinegar, One teaspoon olive oil with a dash of garlic salt and pepper. Total 403 calories.

    Please add mee too! I would love to have more vegetarian friends on here, I am new, just joined a week ago! Love this site! Need recipe ideas because I have been eating mostly salads and morningstar products, which is healthy, but gets boring quickly. I have been a vegetarian for 21 years and I would love to get new ideas and menus! Hope to make lots of vegetarian friends:)
