Love the foods I have been making. Today I will try to come up with another new one. Love being creative with all the wonderful ingredients available.

The more I stay away from meats the better I love produce. Who would have ever thought this carnivore would prefer to eat her vegetables.

Usually, they are a lot quicker to make. Not a lot to cook, most of the time. Canned beans, drained and rinsed. Fresh veggies, cleaned and chopped. I eat yogurt, sour cream, shredded 2% cheese and eggs. Eggs are easy to cook, too.

We are very much a meat eating family. I would like to find some easy alternatives for myself that don't require a bunch of special ingredients. I'm very curious about trying to cook with tofu. I've had it before, just never cooked with it.

I use beans as a meat replacer all the time. I make veggie burgers with beans, and make a meat-less loaf with beans. I also eat tofu, tempeh, and TVP which are all made from soy beans.

I use beans as meat replacement all of the time. The "secret" for me is keeping the portion under 1/2 cup!
Is protein 4-bean a brand? Is it like 3 bean salad?

I agree about touching and seeing the raw meat. I often lost my appetite when I was the cook.

Vegetarian meals are great in the evening, they are so light - no heavy feeling after supper.
Also I know the meal is way less calories than traditional meat packed meals.

It's the same thing I love about my meat-based meals -- they're delicious, good for me, and Paleo.

I don't feel as if there is a lead weight in my stomach after I eat a vegetarian meal! I also like the fact that herb and spice flavors are more distinct.
Besides being delicious, I like that I don't feel sick after I eat (as opposed to when I eat meat).
