I never thought of Taco Hell........I usually stay away from those places. :theman

My soon to be 10 year old has turned into a vegetarian. When ordering say NO MEAT. Also alot of menus are now vegetarian friendly and marked as to what is veggie only. :)

Burger King has a vegetarian burger

[issac the dragon]

No one should be allowed to eat vegetarian unless they cook for themselves. That includes children.

I had a rule when my kids lived at home. I cooked one meal. They ate it if they wanted. They could cook something else if they wanted. I was not running a restaurant.

I also found this website which is helpful for anyone wanting to find healthy food on the road:http://www.healthydiningfinder.com/site/diners/findrestaurants/


I know it will come in good hand for me :tarty

Glad you found some places to go :)

Veggie Delite® The Veggie Delite® is a delightfully crunchy combination of garden fresh lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, olives and pickles and your choice of fat-free condiments served on freshly baked bread. It’s like a salad sandwich.

Oh shoot......I think i'm posting in the wrong section.

I thought i was in the Greasy Tentacle.

Can you superior administrators please move all this crap into the greasy tentacle for me?

A lot of mexican restaurants have veggie fajita's on the menu. They're pretty good! :yum

Ahh, Pizza! The perfect food. As long as it has loads of pepperoni!


Try a veggie sub at Subway Pogo. They load it up with whatever veggies you want. You almost don't miss the meat. :lol

[AYFR]

Most restaurants offer a veggie plate as well

I'm kinda new at this vegetarian thing. I'm trying to lose weight and get my cholesterol down. Tomorrow will make one week meet free.:rooster

More power to you!! I tried cooking vegetarian for a week and my ex said at the time he would rather die than eat that way. :D

[Sweet Tart]

Veggies and Cheese at Subway.

Quiznos and other sandwich places always have some sort of vegetable and/or mushroom sandwich.

I can't stand Boca burgers, but BK does have them.

If you're going full out Veggie, and you're out to eat, you really have to ask what is in the food that may seem to not have meat. Lots of foods are cooked in chicken/meat broth.

Other than that, salads and pastas are good alternatives. You can also usually find veggie stuff on the "heart healthy" menu areas, if the restaurant has one.

Eating out is hard. Stick to Asian and Indian food mostly. Some Mexican places are veggie friendly, too. And you can always look it up online so see if there are any suggestions in the areas you visit...

My no fail vegetarian recipe that tastes good:

1 Old El Paso taco kit (crunchy or soft)
1 container of firm tofu

Drain tofu. Press a bit to squeeze out the water.

Follow box preparation instructions substituting the tofu for beef/chicken.

Tastes just like meat. :D

I have to be a pain in the ass and say that i dont like to eat tofu. Even before i went veggie i refused to eat turkey sausage because i never believed in eating a food and pretending that it's something else. I guess i'm just anal like that . LOL:devil

I love beans......refried too with a few dashed of McCormick powdered Chipotle seasoning and a few tablespoons of salsa. Serve over rice and then aadd shredded cheddar on top:grub

[Sweet Tart]

I don't care for tofu very much, either.

Avocados are a great taco substitute, only you use them fresh. But you can probably sprinkle taco seasoning on them :think

Ok, I went to Taco Hell today and decided to try the Cheesy Bean and rice burrito @ a kick ass 99 cents what did i have to lose?

I grabbed a nutrition brochure and found out that only one of those suckers has over 1400 mg of salt.:nono

That comes out to 58% of your daily allowance of salt !

[Lone Laugher]

Just forget the food...eat beer.

[POGO-SATAN]

Ok, I woke up at 3 am and couldnt sleep. It is now 5:45am and the coffee machine just finished brewing. Smells good :coffee

Anyway, I posted about my experience at Taco Hell and their very tasty yet extremely salty "Cheesy Bean & Rice Shit Tube" :hotdog
1400 mgs of sodium in 1 !!

So i decided to go to the Subway (Eat Bread) website to investigate the nutritional value for a veggie sandwich as far as the sodium content goes and the result was much more impressive........500 mgs per sandwich!! Thats almost 1/3rd less than Taco Hell's Taco Fu Shit tube!! :pblade

Ok. I'm going to get a cup of coffee. Is anyone else awake?

[POGO-SATAN]

Ok, I just went to Burger Thing's website to look up the nutritional value for the Veggie Burger and they dont even list it in their nutrition guide. What are they trying to hide?:borg

[GreenEyedLady]

This one is close to what I make. I always separate the eggs and beat the whites and fold them in last. It really makes for fluffy pancakes...but you don't have to do that.

To sour milk....1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 tablespoon vinegar to one cup of milk.

Buttermilk Pancakes

* 1 egg
* 1 cup buttermilk
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1 cup plain flour
* 1 TBS sugar
* 1 TBS cooking oil
* 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp salt

Beat the egg and then add the buttermilk and soda.

Stir in flour, sugar, oil, baking powder and salt. Stir until blended. Try to get any lumps out but don't overdo it on the stirring.

Heat a griddle or frying pan with a little oil or butter. You want medium heat and for the oil/butter to be hot but not burned.

Dip out enough batter to make pancakes about 3 to 4 inches around. You can, of course, make big ones or little silver dollar sized.

When the edges "set" and have bubbles, flip the pancakes. You only want to flip once, so don't jump the gun.

As you're cooking, you'll probably need to add a little more oil or butter as you go. Just add small amounts as needed.

You can keep a plate warm in the oven and complete the whole batch or serve them right from the frying pan as they're done if you have a very informal family.

This recipe makes 8 to 10 medium pancakes or enough for 4 people unless they're hungry people. With teen boys here, I just double the recipe.

[McLovin]

I don't like tofu or meat substitutes. If I want meat, I'll eat meat. :shrug

Baja Fresh has a veggie burrito bowl that I love! It's really yummy & very filling. I think it's around 600 calories so I try to eat 1/2 for one meal & 1/2 for another.

Corner Bakery has a mozzarella & tomato sandwich with roasted red peppers that I love. :drool

Sushi. :para

I love to make tacos at home & I just sub refried beans for meat.

I am starving. :lol

[Sweet Tart]

Sushi :cry

Tofu gets a bad rap. It's really good for ya!

Tofu is not my food of choice, that is for sure, but it is a good alternative to meat if one feels strongly against consuming animal products.

I normally dont eat there. It was merely an experiment. A test drive if you will.

Tofu is great if you know how to prepare it properly.


No matter how many times I try- I can't. :lol

I tried cooking tofu years ago. The Recipe called for firm tofu dried on paper towels. I think i went through half a roll of paper towels and finally thought to myself......"What the fuck am i doing?" :gaah

I don't order their vegetarian burger, I order a vegetable whopper - it's all the same ingredients, without the meat patty. Yum. And it's right on their key pad.
