What are some yummy vegitarian recipes?
I'm trying to go vegi but i don't have many ideas on what to make. And i'm trying to get my parents involved as well, so i want to show them that being vegitarian isn't about giving up on good food.
Answers:
I love the point you make...,"so i want to show them that being vegitarian isn't about giving up on good food". You are so right, It isn't really about giving up food at all.
You can eat just as many delicious recipes as a vegan or vegetarian as you can as a meat eater.
In fact If you are a dessert person, You can make vegan and vegetarian substitutes for just about anything.
Instead of eggs in a cake, us 1/4 cup silken tofu for every egg needed.
Instead of cow's milk you can use Soy milk or coconut milk for just about every recipe that calls for it.
People usually think that becoming a vegan or vegetarian means giving up everything, but that couldn't be farther from the truth.
Since you are looking for some vegetarian recipes, you could make some potato soup, It is really hearty and If you like potatoes like I do then you will love it (potatoes have a hearty flavor, i think, and feeding them to a meat eater will probably satisfy thier hunger.)
You could try these sites for recipes:

Also something really simple and quick to make is Brown rice and peas, just make some rice, add it to some cooked peas, top it with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. I love it and it really fills me up.
