I have been a vegetarian for 2 1/2 years and would love to find friends whom are also. I have slowly worked my way into vegetarian from "junk-a-tarian" (carb loaded diet to replace meat instead of veggies). I don't have any in "real life" and I would love to get ideas from fellow MFP followers from your food diary. Please friend request me if you don't mind sharing your veggie lifestyle with me!
Thanks!
Thanks!

On it! Though I am a cheater and eat a piece of salmon about once a week (its too delicious and healthy for me to give up!) But I'm looking for new food ideas as well!0

Do you have a fairly busy lifestyle? I found myself relying on a lot of foods that were quick and easy because I didn't feel like I had the time to cook.
Here's what I did last Sunday. I went grocery shopping and loaded up my cart with the fruits, veggies, grains and so on that I needed. I looked at a couple of recipes beforehand to see what I might want to make, but it's always pretty easy to sub ingredients if the store doesn't have something. Then, I went home and I prepped a lot of the veggies and grains for the week. I sliced onions, bell peppers and cucumbers and put them in bags. I bioled red skin potatoes and sweet potatoes and also put them in containers. I made brown rice, steel cut oats, soba noodles and wheat berries. Some went in the freezer. Some went in the fridge.
So, when I get up in the morning, and I need a healthy, quick breakfast because I have to get to work, I can quickly scramble some eggs and heat up some oats with milk or water, mix in a little flax, some brown sugar or honey and some dried fruit and I'm out the door. Lunch? I usually make an extra portion of dinner and take that. Dinner? I use a lot of my prepped foods and throw together tofu tacos, stir fry with peanut sauce... whatever comes to mind.
Tomorrow, I found a wonderful sounding recipe for sweet potato hash that I am going to try, and I'm planning to mix in some carmalized onions with balsamic vinegar, top with a poached egg and eat with some non fat Greek yogurt.0 -
