I'm looking for new Vegetarian recipes to try thanks!

i guess ya gotta google it

i know i have substituted walnuts for beef in chili on occasion

when my daughter was over

what kind of recipes would you like? and how strict of a vegetarian are you?

Ahh anything really :)I eat dairy products but no meat..just seafood!

Excellent chili:

4 cups cooked pinto beans
1 package Carol Shelby Chili mix
1 can tomato sauce
2 tbs dried onion flakes
2 cups Morning Star substitute meat crumbles

After beans are cooked and done, add the chili mix, tomato sauce, onion flakes and meat crumbles. Simmer for 30 min to an hour. Add the masa from the chili mix and cook for a few more minutes.

I cook my beans overnight in the crockpot. If you add the tomato and onion before the beans are done, they might develop a tough skin. Sugar in the veggies causes this.

Tofu Scramble

2 TBS chopped onion
2 TBS chopped green pepper
small amount olive oil
1/4 cup firm tofu
salt and pepper to taste

Place onion and pepper in skillet with olive oil and cook over medium heat until tender. Add the tofu and scramble it until warmed through.

Tastes like scrambled eggs.
