What is your best vegan or vegetarian recipe - this is for all who enjoy vegan and vegetarian foods - whether or not you eat it full-time. I would like some inspiration for more vegan/vegetarians meal because I want to eat more non-animal foods and need inspiration. I don't do it an often as I would like to because I am a novice in this area. All help and inspiration is welcome

I try to have at least one vegetarian meal each week. At first it can be challenging to come up with meal ideas that don't revolve around meat, but there are some really great recipes out there. Some of my favorites are: Tofu Parmesan Eggplant Parmesan Black beans and rice Red beans and rice Meatless chili Loaded baked potatoes (just skip the bacon and other meat toppings) Veggie burgers Syrian green beans served on flatbread Veggie pizza Veggie stir fry over rice Some of these ideas still involve cheese, so they aren't entirely free of animal products, but they're still a great way to reduce your animal intake. You could also try soy cheese, but I haven't been that brave yet. Good luck!

Thanks for the ideas - I currently only find soups easy. I also like red beans or black eye beans over rice - I cook them with onions, spices and sometimes add bell peppers and mushrooms. It is delicious but understanable I cannot eat it every day. I will look up and try some of the recipes - thanks again.

I have a couple of favorite vegetarian meals that are easy to fix. One is called hay stacks. It is with pinto beans fixed like a taco salad. It has corn chips layered with lettuce, beans, then the other topping like salsa,onions,olives, sour cream. My family likes this and it is good for pot lucks. The other one is Special K loaf made with the cereal, cottage cheese eggs beef like seasoning and walnuts. You can also make burger with beans, potatoes, and different nuts. 3abn is a good place to look for vegetarian recipes. they are found at the bottom of the page.
