Training & Nutrition - Vegetarian recipes

Hiya folks! I've been thinking about the whole vegetarian thing and was wondering if anyone has any good recipes. I'm not planning on going entirely vegetarian but just want to take a few steps in that direction.
Thanks,

good for you!!!! hope it works. i'm sure you'll find it doesn't reduce your energy like the common perception, if you eat ballanced.
amerpie's web sites are great suggestions. i have used www.vegweb.com and found some good info and recipes. a veg diet doesn't have to be difficult at all - i make a lot of stir-fries: just throw in whatever chopped veggies you like, tofu, seitan, and soy sauce (i use bragg's liquid aminos) with a little olive oil and fry.
-pizza is easy, just leave off the meat (and cheese if you want). pasta is also easy- instead of meatballs, use steamed broccoli.
-burritos can be made very good and hearty with beans, rice, veggies, and tofu or seitan.
-a lot of ethnic food is naturally meat free, as most cultures don't have this obsession with meat as in the western world. i prepare a lot of indian, vietnamese, thai, chinese, and african meals.
tofu is a great substitute for meat, and can be prepared in a lot of ways. i try not to eat it for every meal, though, as it's not too good to get too much of anything. seitan is another great substitute, which is a wheat gluten. it has much the same texture as meat, and often even more protein.
good luck, and feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.

They claim the average person just eats ten different meals. If you change one of the ten you have changed your diet by 10%, if you change 2 then you have moved to 20% veghead. This will ease you into the diet you want without make unreasonable demands.

Hey come on folks...I'm not going 100% hippie! I just think that it wouldn't be bad for me to go vegetarian for a couple days a week. If I went totally vegetarian my friends wouldn't even recognize me anymore! I quit smoking, I drink a couple beers every other week as opposed to 3 times a week in my younger days and this whole cycling thing. I don't think that I could ever give up the occasional bacon cheeseburger though.

Well, you should check out tempeh , a fine indonesian creation. Soy-based, has a nice nutty flavor and you can fry it up with olive oil and squirt some braggs on it and then add it to your pasta. Mix in a little red sauce and add kale at the end...yum!

Hi,
I am definitely not a vegetarian. But I do try to keep a few cans of organic beans around. if I'm making soup, in goes a can of lentils. Lentils hide well. I love sloppy joes and throw a can of of mixed beans, called chili beans, in that.
By adding a few beans and greens; you can improve the quality of your diet. If you want to go a step further; that's between you and your bacon blue cheeseburger :)
Go to the library, and take out a couple cookbooks. You can get vegetarian ones if you like; but I would suggest ethnic cookbooks. Whether it's Greek, Indian, or Mexican....it will have less meat, and usually be healthier.
Ciao!
