Hey! I'm giving up meat and cutting down on lactose significantly, can anyone give me any suggestions on vegetarian recipes? Thanks!

    My diary is open and I'm vegetarian. :) My staples are rice, protein pancakes, nuts, cottage cheese, fruits and veggies.

    These are currently my favorite thing. I don't bother with the sunflower cream. It makes a massive amount but freezes beautifully. I freeze it in individual containers and it reheats very fast. If you're cutting down on lactose, slicing an avocado up over the top gives you some of the richness of cheese or sour cream... but without the dairy.

    I love the moosewood cookbooks for vegetarian recipes. Easy and super flavourful. (I've borrowed them from the library before buying my own copy too)

    Quorn brand makes chik'n tenders. 1 cup is only 90 calories and will help substitute meat. Help you stay full

    I made this channa masala this weekend. It was delicious, easy and inexpensive. I added a piece of naan bread and a cucumber salad on the side, and I had a very satisfying meal.

    Anyone have any vegetarian lunch ideas that are easy to prep, have protein and delish?

    I am trying to cut down on TVP because those products are so processed but I am struggling with other easy protein sources that keep me full.

    I typically bring quinoa salad, veggie burgers without the patty, and lentil soup.

    I made a mushroom and black bean quesadilla for dinner tonight. Super simple -- sauteed mushrooms and green onions, mixed them together with black beans (canned for convenience) and diced tomatoes (I chose fresh), put on a tortilla with pepper jack cheese, and then cooked on a skillet. I topped mine with a dallop of sour cream and some mashed avocado I mixed with a little lemon juice.

    Options for quesadilla fillings are endless.

    Would definitely recommend https://cookingonabootstrap.com/ by Jack Monroe. She is vegetarian/vegan herself (I forget which) so she makes a lot of veggie friendly stuff. Its super tasty and cheap too if you're on a budget, I usually make something from this website a few times a week.
