Delightful Vegetarian Dishes

If you are a vegetarian, then you know how difficult it is to come up delicious meals that your whole family can enjoy. The average American eats meat every single day, and it is hard to compete with that craving of heavy flesh that is inherent in people. However, you can wow your family and friends with a few of my favorite vegetarian dishes, which are not only delicious, but extremely healthy.

For today's meal, we will discuss making two main courses of vegetarian Pad Thai, with a side of stuffed peppers, finishing with carob chocolate chip cookies. This meal is designed for four to six people, with a variety of foods, tastes, and diets. It is always important to have something everyone will like, so no one will leave the table with an empty belly. 

Vegetarian Dishes

First let's talk about the Pad Thai. To create this meal you will need, rice noodles, garlic, a red bell pepper, 2 tomatoes, snow peas, tofu, soy sauce, lime juice, cilantro, cashews, scallions, and fresh bean sprouts.   To create this sumptuous meal, you may need to buy a large wok, or just use a maneuverable frying pan in which you can evenly cook all the ingredients.  Cook the noodles separately and stir consistently so that they do not stick together. Use the wok to stir-fry your ingredients and tofu for about 4 minutes, or until everything is well cooked. Put the two together, adding your soy sauce, lime juice, cashews, and the rest of the toppings, and voile, your vegetarian Pad Thai is finished. This meal only has about 300 calories per severing, and only one gram of saturated fat. 

Stuffed peppers are a particular favorite of mine, because it is a dish found all over the world in so many different cultures. To create this dish for your family you need "veggie ground round", 3 bell peppers, orange or yellow, olive tomato sauce, an onion, garlic, a cup of already cooked rice, olive oil, and dried oregano. Cook your rice, onions, and garlic for about 5 minutes, then add in the veggie ground round and the oregano. Prepare your peppers by slicing them in half. Stuff your cooking mixture into each pepper half, and place them into the oven. Cook for twenty to twenty-five minutes and then serve hot.

For dessert, cookies are always a good option. Pick your favorite chocolate cookie recipe, use no fat butter, or oil for substitute, and then use carob chips. These only have 50 calories per cookie, which mean they are an innocent dessert for your diet!
