Whether you are looking for vegetarian dishes because you want to become a vegetarian, or are trying to give your body a "break" from digesting animal protein, finding healthy and tasty dishes isn't as difficult as you would think. Choosing to eliminate animal products completely (all meat, eggs, cheese, etc.) can be a bit tricky, but it can also be very rewarding. It can be an opportunity to try foods you've never eatan -- and you just might like them! Foods like hummus are versatile and easy to fix. Vegetarian spaghetti sauce served over whole wheat pasta can be a healthy choice for comfort food on a cold day.
Instead of a traditional breakfast, which would likely include meat and/or dairy products, try this: take 1/2 cup of regular oatmeal (NOT quick oats), and combine it with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup almond milk. Add some cinnamon and a few raisins and microwave for about 3 minutes. Yummy! Try other dried fruits like apricots or papaya. It's a surprisingly hearty breakfast that will keep you going until lunch.
