Vegetarians: What have you eaten today?

Welcome @Hotpepper20000

Your Thai salad looks tasty, even though I had to look up a few ingredients and I don't think we can buy Jicama (Mexican turnip?) in the UK.

Good luck switching to a vegetarian diet: it'll be interesting to see your contributions to this thread.

I must admit I did alter the recipe a bit. I didn't add Jicama and Papaya.
I think the hardest to change. will be cheese and cream. But one step at a time.
 
B: golden milk

L: slice of toasted Tesco HP bread, hummus, cherry tomatoes

D: Spanish-y spicy tray bake with celeriac mash

I'm sure it will be a process but I'm starting with three evening meals a week with out meat and go from there.
I'm excited as I found out that hummus does not spike my BG. Also in the last month my weight loss has increased with less meat.

Good stuff. I am lucky with hummus too. Do you make your own or buy it?

I've done both and find very little difference with my BG.
I seen to react with rashes when I use canned goods like beans and tomatoes, so I have to start from the dried bean which is more time consuming.
So in my lazy day I do buy it ready made.

It was a bit of a cheat :bag: They do wee jars of paste in Tesco. Green beans, red pepper, mushrooms, paste, coconut cream, topped with toasted flaked almonds.

Had the rest today. Same breakfast and lunch too.

This is all me. Mr Hot pepper was raised on a farm so he's used to having meat with every meal. But in the last year I have made many a veggie meal and does enjoy them so I will continue to gradually change things. No complaints from him so far. I really haven't made a big deal of it.
I make a yummy veggie curry and I'm not even sure he notices that there isn't any meat in it. He biggest thing is that there is a lot of flavour and spice. I have two drawers filled with spices from all over the world so that won't be a problem.

Not sure how many veggies are here on this forum but I have a table that seats 14. You are all welcome for curry.:) But it would be a very expensive meal as the plan tickets to Canada are expensive.
