Variety Adds Vitality to your Vegetarian Meals

Probably one of the most complicated idea that a person in their transition to vegetarian diet keeps her with a variety of fun, diverse, and foods rich in nutrients. Sometimes you may feel like you cut a lot of options that we do not have to eat more meat, and it seems that we lose even more options if you have decided to also cut dairy and eggs from your diet. With creativity, some planning and foresight, you might be surprised how much variety you can achieve with your new vegetarian diet - perhaps even more than his days eating meat!

There are some simple substitutions you can experiment and use substitutions in meat recipes. Tempeh is soy with a soft texture, grown tofu (below freezing and thawing has a fleshy texture of tofu, Tofu, again slightly off white), and wheat gluten or seitan (a wheat and the texture of the meat, available in health food stores or Asian countries) are all elements to begin.

Milk and other dairy products can also be easily replaced by simply vegetarian terms. Try soy milk, soy margarine and soy yogurt, which can be found in health food stores or Oriental food stores. They can also be mixed with water, coconut milk and nuts and effort, or rice milk by cooked rice with water.
A good way to introduce beans food is to be used in place of meat in favorite dishes such as stews and Chile. Because of its many health benefits of beans should be eaten frequently. Good examples are beans, peas, beans, lentils (red, green or brown) and beans.

Many nuts and seeds, both within and outside the shell, whole, halved, chopped, sliced, raw or grilled vegetables are available. Cashews, peanuts, walnuts, almonds are slightly related to a few favorites. Sunflower and sesame seeds are excellent choices for seasoning salads and other vegetable dishes.

And do not be afraid to lose their favorite foods favorite Mexican, Italian or otherwise, now that you are a vegetarian. Many of them can enjoy and still require only minor fluctuations. Some popular dishes and easier to implement include: pasta with tomato sauce, bean burritos, tacos, tostadas, pizza, baked potatoes, soups, vegetables, whole grain bread and rolls, sandwiches, pasta sauteed, all kinds of salads, veggie burgers with fries, beans and rice, bread, cereals, pancakes, waffles, and to name a few.
