Vegetarian for 3 days are there any recipes that i can eat???!
Answers: Hi! I am 14 and have been vegetarian for 3 days and i really want something else besides wha tI am eating now which is fettucini alfredo and salad. Not Going Vegan yet.
Hey. I commend you on trying to go veggie.
Erm, I've been a vegetarian for over four years now,
and I basically live off of pasta.
Go out and get yourself interesting pastas to eat.
Also, try Morningstar items. Especially the chik'n nuggets. Yumm.
And this site: allrecipes.com has a lot of interesting and easy veggie recipes you can make. Just search under vegetarian.
Oh! And fruit! Try new fruits.
That's the key, though. Trying new things. If you eat too much of one thing, you'll start to get bored and whatever your reason for turning veg, will completely be forgotten and you'll go back to being an omnivore. Blahh. ;)

www.allrecipes.com - click the vegetarian link. They have TONS of stuff.
Other than that, you can eat all the same stuff you used to eat minus the meat. Pizza (I love papa murphy's mediterranean - hold the chicken), spaghetti, burritos/tacos, grilled cheese.
Might check your alfredo sauce & make sure it doesn't have chicken broth or fat. Many don't, but some do.
This is my favorite meal:
Lasagna
you will need a large 28 to 32 oz jar of your favorite marinara or spaghetti sauce (I like roasted garlic and onion) save back 1/2 cup for top layer.
In a bowl mix together next 5 items:
3 cups (two 12-ounce cartons) creamed cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
I package soft tofu
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 package (8 ounces) lasagna noodles, try the whole grain ones, cooked and well drained
1 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (to sprinkle on top)
Heat oven to 350 degrees..
In ungreased baking pan, 13x9x2 inches, layer 1/4 each of the noodles,the red sauce, the grated mozzarella cheese and the cottage cheese mixture; repeat 3 times. end with the sauce layer on top; sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
Bake uncovered 45 minutes. For easier cutting, let stand 15 minutes after removing from oven.
Serve with a nice salad, maybe with garbanzo beans for more protein and black olives in it.
Go to the library, you will find some really good vegetarian cookbooks and books that explain how to get the nutrition you need, you are still growing, you need to do this right, learn all you can.
eggs any way (salad, over easy,scrambled, quiche, etc...)
try in the frozen food section Amy's brand frozen dinners
past and sauce of course
rice & beans w/ cooked vegetables (salt & pepper)
any kind of vegetable soup
I would reccommend buying a book- the best "basics" cookbook by far is the Student's Vegetarian Cookbook http://www.amazon.com/Students-Vegetaria... it's cheap and awesome!!
Best of luck!!

Gardenburger Breakfast Bacon - make a BLT add avacado.
Slice tomatoes in rounds, top with Soya Kaas mozzarella cheese, basil, cut up figs (peeled, washed in hot water to bring out the sweetness) sprinkle with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Leave out to room temp until cheese is 'melted' looking.
Stir-fry veggies and rice with Tofu - I use extra firm, wrap in paper towels to soak up the excess water. Cut in slices, fry in a little olive oil, hot pepper sesame oil and soy sauce. Sprinkle with ginger, garlic, curry, whatever you have in the cupboard. Top with sesame seeds. You can also top it with sliced veggie cheese and serve on toasted sourdough with mustard.
