Vegetarian Recipes?

With summer you can grill veggies. I like to grill asparagus, squash and tomatoes with a bit of lemon and garlic.

Mushroom stir-fry. I go to a Japanese grocery store and buy all sorts of fresh mushrooms - enoki, ****aike, oyster and a can of straw(much cheaper than the regular grocery store). Cube some tofu (I like extra firm but YMMV) and let the tofu marinade in Ponzu sauce for an hour or two.

Heat a pan, add tofu, let it heat up a bit, add mushrooms, cook till done. You can add more ponzu sauce to taste/for more liquid. I also add a bit of oyster sauce and Chinese 5 spice.

I also recommend Linda McCartney's cookbook (the non-American recipe one, I forget what it is called) and Vegan with a Vengeance). Neither are preachy, and both have great recipes.

Morning Star farms also has some great frozen things. I prefer the "Gardenburger" brand over Boca (texture). You do need to be careful with the frozen meatless substitutes too, they may seem healthier, but not all of them are healthier.

Chili is also really easy to make veggie. I posted a recipe around here somewhere. I think in Morri's crockpot thread. I'll see if I can find it later (unless someone wants to find it for me).

One of the big differences it has to have for me is no cholesterol and very little, if any, saturated fat.

I just want to "pad" the days when I go on a meat smorgasbord, so I can continue to enjoy all my fave foods without increased health risk.

The faux fried chicken that we liked comes in a can. It seriously tastes like real fried chicken, but has 0 cholesterol. That's a huge plus to me.

And now, I'm totally wanting some stir fry.
