New here...and attempting to make the transition

[Guest guest]

Transitioning to a vegetarian lifestyle has not been easy, as I live

with people who are dedicated to an omnivorous lifestyle, who often

don't think a meal is complete if it's meatless. I'd love to find

some recipes that are designed to serve just one or two. I'll post

more in a few days, as I need to be spending my time elsewhere right

now, because the Thani exchange student my family has been hosting

since August leaves tomorrow.

I usually get recipesd from the recipes files in the group file area,

then I will adjust them to cook servings for 2. This way I have some

now and some tomorrow. I take my lunch to work so the leftovers make

it handy.

Hi Sarah,

 

I have the same problem but I found a great cookbook. Its calleed 366 Ways

to Cook Beans, Rice and Grains by Andrea Chesman. There are alot of great

vegetarian style recipes. I use veggie broth or water where she suggest

chicken/beef broth. This book is worth the investment. Also I made

spaghetti one night with TVP, my kids never noticed. I'm serving bean

dishes a couple of nights a week. I made sloppy joes with beans instead of

meat.

 

I know its tough. My family cooked steaks for Fathers Day...they smelled

so good. (I'm a pretty new vegetarian) but I filled up on Tabouleh, salad

and veggie baked beans (which my family didn't notice the bacon was

missing!)

 

Good luck and check out the recipe section....lots of good stuff!
