How many vegetarian meals do you eat a week?

[Indadhanu]

Oh, and by vegetarian I mean completely meat free, but not necessarily vegan.

[Arimeh]

We have fried rice once a week - and I don't put any meat in it, just egg, and the vegies and then sauces and rice.

But other than that...

LOL Mel, even my fried rice is meaty, I use bacon oooops

My vege night are usual I can't be stuffed cooking nights, so we have toast LOL Or the odd occassion I make a potato bake with no meat to go with it...

we add chicken and bacon to fried rice lol


i love vege only meals - but they don't happen since DH has been living at home again!

We were 'supposed' to do meat-free Monday every week. Errr, hasn't gotten off th ground just yet...

My mum is vegetarian & I was for a few years so I have no excuse other than the fact that DH isn't really that keen, & I feel bad if I don't give him some thing he likes

[ss_storm]

none...oops....lol. I know you're supposed to have one or two meat free days a week? I just don't know what to cook! Normally the only time we have meat-free is when I forget to take something out of the freezer! But then I use a tin of tuna or have fried rice (with bacon) so generally not meat free anyway.

Dunno if I can post this but my vege sister gave me this link to the Australian Vegetarian Week Healthy Eating Tips and Recipes.....

National Vegetarian Week - Recipes

Some YUMMY recipes on there. I'm making those koftas on Monday I think

[Fleur]

That's just it, there ARE some really yummy proper vegetarian meals, I like my mum's cooking... I think though with DH he kind of feels if it doesn't have meat, it's not really 'dinner' kwim?

my DH is a bit the same - raised on meat and three veg, so that's what dinner should be

i have been able to get him to eat a lot of things that aren't as cut and dried as that - but getting him to go completely meat free is pushing it. i don't mind as we dont' eat a lot of heavy meat meals - we might have chook fillets with vegie bake (of chook IN the vegie bake), a grilled steak with stirfry veg - but we always have meat

for me - i can (and do) eat meat free when DH isn't home - but i feel better in myself if i have the protein load. am not a fan of egg, can't do soy etc - so, due to the PCOS and the impacts it has on my insulin levels - if i don't have meat, i find i get very dizzy a few hours later and then have to eat again (which annoys me!) or risk blacking out. pre pg, i'd risk it - now, with me primary carer for DD - not a chance
