Meeeaaat?! No Way!

Wed Mar 28, 2007, 12:11 PM
Miss Lenore has taught me that one can live happy and fruitful without the messy misery of hacking up some unfortunate critter into meaty shanks. I have challenged myself to leave meat out of my diet for now on. It makes me feel both humble and that I am doing something right in my life for once hehe.

Now that you know a little background. In this journal I'd like some replies containing some good eats and/or meals that are not meat that provide good alternative protein. I'm still new to this so I'd appreciate some tips!

Ya know....one of the things I have worked on is downgrading the amount of soda, so that's a good thing that your doing either way....but don't give it up toooo much, there are still veggie meats.....whatever the heck those are!

Good luck on your endeavor though.

I'd say that's quite the challenge you've made for yourself. There are a several ways to get protein without meat. Oatmeal is a start, and lentils (beans) are especially good sources of vegetarian protein. There's also other legumes, including peanuts (and peanut butter).

One dish you could try is vegetarian chili. My mother cooked it whenever our family went on a fast, where we wouldn't eat meat for about a week or two. It had plenty of lentils, tomatoes, onions, corn, and chili sauce, all without the meat, and still tasted pretty good. I'd highly recommend it.

Chili goes back a long way with me I used to make it everyweekend during the winter. I'll look into it hehe

Time is time to time and can't be told or given or kept or saved or for that case used later on at ones leisure. We'll know when it comes though.

I gave up pop for coffee already. The brew is a ton more refreshing, if you need something smoothing try tea!
