I have always gone back & forth between eating vegetarian & not eating vegetarian. Always in the past when I have eaten meat it still has been mostly a vegetarian diet & eat meat occasionally because everyone in my family are meat eaters & sometimes the fight to have what I wanted was just not worth the problems that it has caused.
With the kids moved out on their own & with the support of my husband the last 3 months I have gone back to eating vegetarian, although it has been lacto-vegetarian. Yes I am a chubby vegetarian!
Last month, I cut out all cheese & yogurts. This month I am working on cutting out all milk/dairy products.
I am not crazy about tofu unless it is in a soup. I do not like meat/cheese substitutes at all. I get a majority of my protein from dairy and beans. I absolutely love bean burgers & cooked beans of all kinds. With cutting out dairy completely I am looking for other ways to make sure that I am eating a healthy vegetarian diet.
Anybody got any really good ideas for things that I can make that won't leave me lacking in what I need to eat & won't get me to the point that I get tired of eating beans for my protein?
