Yes, apparently there are some! Anyone who has been a vegetarian for more than a few months has probably ended up at a drive-thru somewhere hoping to find some kind of decent vegetarian fast food meal. It’s not an easy task. But according to a post this week on the Mother Nature Network website, it [...]

The Vegetarian Butcher and His Favorite Plant-Based “Meat”
I guess this day was meant to come and I suppose we’d be surprised if it had come anywhere other than to New York City, where all trends and exciting happenings take place. In a new article on the New York Times’ dining pages this week, food writer Melissa Clark introduces us to the vegetarian [...]
The 5 Best Superfoods of April – All of Them Vegetarian!
I love April. It means the great produce of spring is starting to hit the markets or be ready to harvest (even if just a little) from our own gardens. Meredith Melnick of Huffington Post’s Healthy Living, has a great sideshow highlighting the best superfoods of April and it’s a mouthwatering sight. All of these [...]
Bill Gates Says Vegetarian Meats are Our Nutritional Future
I’ve posted several blogs recently on the new vegetarian “meats” that are available and how vegetarian meats are expected to trend over the next few years. This weekend, I read on article on Ecorazzi.com (still smile every time I read that name) summarizing a blog post from Bill Gates on the topic of vegetarian meats. [...]
Sprouted Seeds and Grains – An Awesome Vegetarian Protein Source
Until not too long ago, I thought that eating bean sprouts was for the “hippie fringe”, but you’ll have to cut me a little slack; I’m old enough to remember the 1970′s, when there was a hippie fringe, they did eat a lot of sprouts and they were the only Westerners who did. However, as [...]
Is Organic Going Too Industrial for Organic Vegetarians?
It’s no surprise to anyone who’s read this blog regularly that I strongly support organic foods, especially locally-grown organics. Aside from the fears about pesticides, herbicides and genetic modification, I hate what big industry has done to the families who are still trying to hang onto small family farms. I realize that not all vegetarians [...]
The 5 Healthiest Winter Produce to Buy Right Now
Winter is not a particularly abundant season for fresh produce. Sure, you can buy oranges and pineapples all year if you don’t mind spending a fortune, getting old product and eating something that’s been shipped thousands of miles and picked before ripening. You all know I’m a big fan of eating seasonally and I also [...]
Seaweed as a Vegetarian Protein Source?
I love Asian food in all forms, particularly Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai foods. My favorite Asian food of all is sushi, which I think is an extremely versatile food for vegetarians. While there are hundreds of “official” types of sushi, you can really make sushi out of just about anything. What I didn’t know, though, [...]
Check Out This Slideshow for 11 Foods That You’d Swear Were Meat
I have to admit that I lean more toward simply vegetarian dishes, as opposed to meat substitutes and “faux meat” fare. This isn’t any kind of a philosophical thing; I just find that I want the substitutes less and less as I go along. However, there are times when I really want a burger or [...]
Why Is Portland So Great for Vegetarians?
Not too long ago, I posted a story about GrubHub’s Top Ten Cities for Vegetarians. I got a ton of comments and email from the lovely readers who live in or just love Portland, wanting to know why Seattle was on the list but Portland was not. The consensus was that GrubHub’s mobile app doesn’t [...]
