Mmm...loving all these recipes. I'm feeling so great since going near vegan. Yesterday I went shopping and lots of pants one size down from normal fit me! The ones I bought were my same size, but with the cut they probably would have been snug before. I'm avoiding the scale like the plague because I'm mainly doing this for health and I don't want a slow down in weight loss to discourage me.

Last night we got lazy and decided to just be vegetarian for the night and got a cheese pizza. Big mistake. This morning I woke up feeling like crap. I think it's the freedom from cheese that has me feeling so much better and has sped up weight loss. That and I mostly quit refined sugar. It's been much easier this time as my fruit intake isn't restricted. I barely miss the sugar most of the time.

What do you vegetarians eat as staples? I like to cook new things on the weekends when I have lots of time, but during the week I need things that are quick and tasty.
