I'm trying to kick eating meat. My main problem is i never know what to eat, besides really unhealthy snacks/meals. Are there any good, cheap, easy snacks/meal ideas anyone would like to share? And i only say easy, because i'm not the best in the kitchen :)
Answer
Amy's Soy Mac-n-cheese, add Soy Knox or Smart Dogs.
Amy's Indian food or Trader Joe's Indian Food (Dal) with rice.
Hummus, pita bread and a salad.
Gardenburger Breakfast Bacon - make a BLT add avocado.
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.
Gardenburger Riblets, baked potato, broccoli (w/ lemon, margarine and garlic) and a salad.
Pasta w/ marinara sauce, if you have Boca Italian Sausages cut them up and add it to the sauce. Serve with garlic bread - spread butter on bread, sprinkle with garlic powder and brown in a pan, butter side down.
Clean portabello mushrooms, cut up, saute in olive oil, garlic and a little soy sauce. Serve with salad.
MorningStar Farms Sausages (not the breakfast ones) are good on homemade pizza - add mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, onions, soy cheese. Or if you are still eating egg whites, have the 'sausages' with egg whites.
Easy Corn Chowder Soup â 1 can each of White Corn, Yellow Corn and Creamed Corn, including the water from the can. Cut up celery add to the pot, add a little rice dream milk.
To vegetarian refried beans add mild green sauce. Add soy cheese if desired. Make Spanish Rice â Far East and/or Rice-a-Roni makes it in a box, just add tomatoes. Serve in a burrito, taco or toasted â add lettuce, tomatoes, soy cheese and avocado to the top.
Quorn turkey roast, with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Use leftovers on for a 'turkey' sandwich or in soup -
Vegetarian Chicken Noodle Soup

what is the healthiest to eat?
Q. McDonalds, Hungry Jacks or KFC?
Answer
Me personally, I'd say KFC....more chicken. It all depends on what you buy at which place. If you do go to KFC, you can get the Roasted BLT Salad with fat free ranch dressing, or the Original Recipe Chicken Breast without skin or breading. Those won't cost you so much on calories, 245 at the most. Stay away from the Crispy Twister Sandwich, it's got 670 calories and 38 grams of fat. The Tripple Crunch sandwhich with potato wedges carries 890 calories and 46 grams of fat. You probably hear all the time that Mcdonalds is horrible if you're trying to eat healthy. If you absolutely have to eat there, I'd go for a regular hamburger or the Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken with Low Fat Balsamic Vinigarette. I don't know much about Hungry Jacks, but the name scares me just a bit....why not go for some Subway instead?
