Go to the vegetarian forum, hun! Much goodness there:)
I'de like to be the first to say, I'm so proud of you! Good job, most people aren't willing to do this, so right on!
I dunno, I typically eat spaghetti with fake ground beef (Yves brand) in the sauce, veggie and rice stir fry (sometimes with a tofu chunks in it), lasagna, fruit salads, taco/pasta/potato salads, that kinda thing. There's soooo many alternative out there, even animal-free king crab, lobster, and "chicken" nuggets! You'de be amazed! Just go to your grocery store and there's normally an area in the produce aisle:)


Oh, and it's called a pescatarian if you still eat fish:)

Can you get Quorn in the states yet!!!! It is excellent and tastes like chicken or what ever they make it taste like but is a relative to a mushroom.

Quorn is sooooooooooooooooooooo great and one of the easiest ways to slowly give up meat as you think your eating meat but your not!!!!! seriously good stuff. I am not a veggie but I love the stuff too!!!

hey cogratulations on and good luck with semi-vegoness - www.vegweb.com (http://www.vegweb.com) has some great recipies (though no fish, sorry) that are soooo yum you won't miss meat. There's a whole section on pasta - i think most are simple but delicious dishes. You can probably find some tips on going vego there to - and in the veg*an forum people can usually give you some advice.

My two favorites:

Bulk split pea soup mix. I add alot of onions and garlic and pepper. This is cheap.

Polenta(corn meal) and flax seed meal. I use mostly flax meal with some polenta mixed in and poor honey and soy milk on it. Flax meal is vegetarian gold.
