Re: Emergency Vegetarian advice please! [Re: mrs_bucket] * 6

I was vegetarian for a while as a kid, lapsed for a couple decades, and then started eating vegetarian again a few years ago. I was surprised at how much easier it's gotten! I remember having to go to special hippie restaurants and weird food co-ops. Now it's pretty mainstream, at least here in the US. There are way more choices at restaurants and grocery stores now.

Oats is awesome. I have a big bowl of oatmeal every morning with walnuts, frozen blueberries, cherries, strawberries, peaches, almond extract and a little sucralose. Tastes delicious and fills me up.

You can make a big batch of filling for tacos and burritos. Saute some peppers, onions, and garlic in olive oil. Mix with a bunch of different beans, corn, cooked brown rice, salsa, and spices like cumin and chili powder. Then you just have to dice up some topping like lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, guac, and cheese and you have an easy meal.

Tofu is awesome and if you haven't learned to cook with it you should! It's very versatile and scratches the same itch as meat for me. Works great in dishes like stir-fry. I recommend getting extra-firm unless a recipe specifies otherwise. Preparing it takes a little getting used to coming from meat, since tofu's basically a sponge so things like marinades don't work the same way. But don't be discouraged, you can get some excellent results with it. Tempe and seitan are similar alternatives, I think they taste weird but maybe you'll like them.

Lots of options for good vegetarian pizza. I make mine with green and jalapeno peppers, onions, artichoke hearts and olives. Mushrooms would be an obvious addition if you like them. I use a pre-bought crust or if you're feeling really lazy you can buy a frozen cheese pizza and just add a bunch of veggies.

And not a vegetarian substitution but just a shout-out to chickpea pasta, which tastes really similar to regular pasta and is a much better choice for nutrition.

Indian cuisine is a trove of amazing vegetarian and vegan recipes. I could probably live the rest of my life just eating Indian food and be okay with it. Any Asian cuisine like Thai, Chinese, Japanese, or Vietnamese will have a lot of vegetarian dishes.

There are many good vegetarian soups. I make big batches of lentil and black bean soup to freeze. Pasta fagioli is good, you can get parmesan made with vegetable rennet if you care about that. Farro works well in various soups, it's healthy and holds up better than pasta or rice.

I'm not a big fan of fake meats and I'm using them less and less, but they can help ease the transition into vegetarianism. Fake beef crumbles in pasta sauce are mostly indistinguishable. Fake chicken nuggets and patties are generally pretty on-point. And if you're at a cookout or something, it's nice to have something you can grill. For brands you can get in the US, Boca Burgers have been around forever and honestly they're not bad, once you put a bunch of condiments on them they taste like any random fast food burger. Impossible and Beyond burgers are fine, they're a lot like actual meat, but they're not perfect. You might also prefer patties that don't try to be meat, like black bean burgers and chickpea burgers.

https://www.happycow.net/ is a good resource for finding places to eat.

https://www.reddit.com/r/vegetarian/ is a friendly welcoming community.

Make sure you get enough vitamin B12. I've always taken a multivitamin each day and I just kept doing that. You might also want to look into algae-based omega 3 supplements, or just eat a bunch of walnuts, chia and flax seeds, and hemp hearts. I've never had any problems getting adequate nutrition.

Going vegetarian is a great decision for many reasons and I'm sending you all my support!
