All the vegetarians out there? Mini-survey?!

When did you become vegetarian? I *started* to go vegetarian a little less than two years ago.

What was your main reason? (i.e for the animals, for health) Mostly just the animal cruelty factor. It's also an encouraged practice in my religion, and as someone else stated, the environmental and health things were just added benefits.

What is your favorite vegetarian recipe? I like all kinds of things. Some of my favorites are Mexican lasagna, cheese ravioli and breakfast burritos!

What is your favorite place to eat out? Taco Bell!

What is your favorite vegetarian frozen meal? I *adore* Morning Star's Spicy Black Bean Burgers. I'm not TVPs biggest fan ever, but those are great. Someone else mentioned Amy's, and they have a lot of great stuff, too.

When: 2003.

Reason? Ornish Heart Disease Reversal Diet [almost strict version]/McDougall diet for Heart Disease. That sort of makes it health.

Favorite Vegetarian Recipe? Buddha's Jewels or Ricker's Tofu Roast. See link.

Favorite place to eat out? Subway. Next favorite grocery store salad bar.

My favorite place to eat out is any vegetarian/vegan restaurants. My favorite fastfood restaurant is Burgerking. They have a BK Veggie burger value meal.
My favorite vegetarian frozen meal is Worthington's vegetarian dinner roast. It's great for holidays and tastes a lot like real turkey. It's high in protein, iron, and vitamin B12.

I became 2 years ago, because i felt it was cruel, vegetarian lasagne, pizza hut, don't eat frozen stuff why so many questions ?

My family of 3 became vegetarians about 6 months ago, each for their own reasons, mine was health. We have a small farm and raise hens (no rooster) and grow our own fruits (apple, pear, apricot, plum, mulberries, blueberries and grapes). We raise honey bee's, make our own wine and grow a big veggie garden with enough to can or freeze throughout the winter months. With all of that free available food, why kill a cow?
As for a favorite recipe, it would have to be Golabki (Polish Stuffed Cabbage Rolls)

1 large cabbage, with big leaves, core removed
1 cup long grain rice
Evoo
2 large onions, peeled and minced
2 cups fresh mushrooms
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 tsp salt
? tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 3/4 sweet paprika
1/2 parsley
1 1/2 liters tomato juice or 1 1/2 liters vegetable stock or 1 1/2 liters mushroom stock
1 ? tsp sweet paprika

Directions:
Slice through the base of the cabbage and cook in lightly salted boiling water until tender.
When the leaves are tender, peel off (You may have to peel the first layers first and then
return the cabbage to cook and continue peeling the leaves until all are done).
Boil the rice until just tender; drain and set aside.
Fry the onions in EVOO until softened.
Dice the mushrooms and fry lightly with the onions, and the Worcestershire sauce.
Mix with the rice and season with salt, pepper, garlic, paprika and parsley.
Place a tablespoonful of the rice mixture in each cabbage leaf; carefully, tuck in sides and
roll to cover rice.
Heat the oven to 400°F. Grease a roasting pan and place cabbage rolls seam side down in pan, packing them tightly together.
Pour enough juice or stock over the top to cover them and sprinkle lightly with remaining paprika.
Cover and bake in oven for 20 minutes.
Remove cover and bake for another 10 minutes to brown the cabbage lightly.

My favorite place to eat out is an local Indian restaurant called Pintu's.

Favorite frozen meal: Morning Star Spicy Black Bean Burgers
