"Transition foods." While some are good and good for you, many of these fake meat products are highly processed, laden with salt, and of little nutritional value. I recommend changing ones tastes and moving beyond these.

Or just give into the darkside and get plate full of bacon...oink oink!

Bacon wrapped bacon served on a bed of bacon strips and sprinkled with bacon bits.

I still want to try that bacon covered crust pizza at Little Caesars: PIZZA PIZZA

Dinner tonight: millet casserole w/ black beans, sautéed cauliflower, curry-stewed red lentils, coleslaw.

OTOH I don't find turkey bacon too bad. Cooks up nice and crisp and very little fat in the microwave.

Vegetable stew with green lentils, carrots, cauliflower, onions, vegetable broth, garlic, black pepper, salt, and allspice over brown rice. The rice is seasoned the same, I just cook it separately.
My wife is vegetarian, I am not or, as she says, not yet.

Thanks for all the responses so far. Keep 'em comin'!


EDIT: How much do grains come into play in your diets?

Not a vegetarian myself, but I must say that out of all the various vegetarian meals I've ever tried (and I've tried many) I'd have to say that the Indians seem to have knocked it out of the park.
I guess they have the most vegetarians per capita (apparently 29%-40% of Indians are vegetarians) so they've needed to come up with some nice dishes.
If I were forced to eat such a diet, I'd be eating Indian food all the time.

That sounds good. Deep fry it in bacon fat and it would be better........

Then at Christmas.....
Tofurkey

Tofurkey is the most horrible fake meat product on the planet. Cardboard tastes better, and is probably better for you. If you chew it properly. And add some garlick powder or something.

Tonight I'm having rice.

Just rice.

Still not a vegan.

EDIT: How much do grains come into play in your diets?

I eat at least one piece of whole grain bread each day. I have oatmeal for breakfast. Any pasta that I cook is whole grain but that is not every week. Rice is brown rice.

I don't eat a ton of grains every day but when I cook, I cook whole grain.

Tonight's meal: cooked buckwheat w/ green peas, creamed mushrooms, cucumber-yoghurt-mint salad.
