Thanks everyone for suggestions and support! Yesterday was taco tuesday, and I tried tempeh for the first time! It was really good! <3

Do you have a recipe? That sounds really great

Heres the recipe I started with! I just improvise it now, but I love it! https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/16715/vegetarian-chickpea-sandwich-filling/

I have yet to tell my family (other than my sister and fiance) that i am a vegetarian now. This is very new. I know my family will be weird about this as I grew up eating meat, and its a cultural norm for them.

I use a LOT of beans in my diet, usually for lunch. I eat lunch usually at school, or at work. Something I truly love to do is make "sandwich filling" with garbanzo beans.

Not only does she have a better understanding of the work-out equipment, but she feels more confident to walk in. I agree that anxiety plays a huge part in going to the gym. I struggle myself, and I think some…

The struggle is real! I have found my cravings for sugar unhealthy, seemingly like a drug addiction as well. What I have found to help is to drop most processed foods out of my diet and eat natural sugars. I am not perfect, though! Of course it is okay to indulge every once in a while, too! Good luck! You can do this!

I have a 5 year old boy. We slowly (almost painfully) got to the point of trying new things! Not sure how picky your eater is, but the "terrible 2s" were oh so terrible when it came to feeding my child. Meals I like to prepare for dinner: -Whole grain spaghetti/penne- i purree extra veggies and put it in the sauce. A…
