Veggie Blog

My roommate was gracious enough last week to get me a book from my wishlist, entitled “Meatless Meals for Working People” and in it was a simple but hearty recipe for vegetarian chili, yes the one i posted about a few days ago, and today i attempted to make this meal for her and i. I decided to add some meatless crumbles from LightLife, so the total grams of protein came to about 16, not bad for chili. I think i could have added more chili powder than what is called for in the recipe and also more seasoning on the crumbles. This recipe makes for a tasty, quick, and easy low calorie vegetarian meal. See my pics of the finished meal.

Vegetarians do not eat meat. They plan, arrange and get all their nutrients supplied solely from plant-based foods. Vegans do not consume any animal foods, including dairy. They also do not support any animal products, such as leather shoes or clothing or wear any cosmetics tested on animals.

Vegetarians – no meat, but do consume dairy.

Vegans – no meat, no dairy, and no animal products whatsoever.

If you are new to the vegetarian lifestyle and are seeking to stock-up on ingredients for your weekly or daily veggie-meals, a pit stop is in order at the following three national grocers known for their natural food offerings:

• Whole Foods – 191 locations (US, Canada, UK) around since 1980, gained popularity in the late 80’s and early 90’s.
• Wild Oats – is merging with Whole Foods, national grocer.
• Trader Joe’s – available in 22 states.

The shops above all offer commercial and or independent vegan food products, most (but not all) have knowledgeable staff that you can ask questions to, and their prices are low to moderate.
