For All My Vegetarians Out There

Now, I'm no vegetarian and I have absolutely no desire to alter my lifestyle and diet to do so. I do however understand that not eating meat every single night can do wonders for your body. (Plant protein is easier to digest anyways.) Over the years, I've come to acquire quite a few friends that are vegetarian or friends who's personal diets yield well to the lifestyle.
Adding more vegetables into your diet makes a lot of sense not only from a health stand point but also from a cost effective view as well. Let's face it, aside from the occasional specialty item vegetables are usually cheaper than most meats. When it comes to choosing what to eat, your choices are only limited by your imagination and what your local grocer has to offer. Just be sure to make wise choices to make up for the lack protein. Whole grains like quinoa, barley, whole wheat pasta, even tofu and legumes are extremely high in iron and protein.This sun-dried tomato and basil pesto sformato or timbale (depending on where you're from) combines everything you need for a complete meal. You're getting protein from the eggs that are used as a binder as well as the whole wheat penne pasta.
