I have been a vegetarian for a little over 6 years now, not necessarily a strict vegetarian I suppose because I eat fish at least once a week… But I am hoping to add people that are vegetarians that have an open diary? I have been struggling with being creative in my meal plans and its starting to feel like a burden to make good vegetarian food that meets my health focus in terms of higher protein, good fats and complex carbs. If there are any of you that are vegetarians/vegans/pescatarians with an open food diary I would love to add you so that I can find some more creative food outlets. Thank you for any help!!

    You can add me; my diary is open. :) I'm not a very strict vegetarian either as I still have seafood, eggs, and some cheese. I'm actually trying to include even more fruits and vegetables though for health reasons. Maybe it'll spark some food creativity for you?

    Try www.thugkitchen.com - lots of vegetarian (actually, mostly vegan) recipes that are super yummy! Warning, though, there's a fair bit of language. We get a lot of recipes from this site and I haven't really found one yet that I haven't enjoyed.

    :drinker: It's my favorite part - definitely added bonus that the food is good!

    I used to be a strict vegetarian for 3 years, but recently realized it was a lot harder to get my protein so I'm now a polo vegetarian. On my cheat days I eat strictly vegetarian again.

    My diary is open and friend requests are always welcomed.

    Tofu, whey, beans, greek yogurt, cheese, peanut butter are some options for protein sources. You could also drink skim milk if you aren't lactose intolerant but I try to avoid it when I can.

    I am a vegetarian and my diary is open. Feel free to add me. Some days are better than others. The last few have been pretty boring since we need to go to the grocery store. It should get way more interesting tomorrow!

    Also a vegetarian for about 14 years, and constantly trying to come up with creative ways to get my protein up. You can add me.

    I started eating whole foods along with my husband (heart Dr.'s orders!) 3 months ago. He just saw the doc. last week, and is able to cut back on 2 of his medicines! I'm eating a lot of what he does (mostly for convenience), as well as for my health. My diary may show an occasional chicken or beef. We're slowly "using up" frozen meat from our freezer so I can defrost it someday!

    Thank you to vegan/vegetarian MFP users for sharing ideas! While at a restaurant, my husband ordered a veggie sandwich. He thought they had added shredded cheese. Turned out, they used shredded acorn squash! This was also added to my salad as well....I liked the crunch!
