Fun and Healthful Vegetarian Meals

August 24, 2006

Cookbooks, magazines and restaurant menus are full of vegetarian dishes created with nutritious, appetizing food combinations. Whether you choose a vegetarian eating style or not, these dishes add variety, interest and flavor experiences to any eating plan:

  • Polenta topped with homemade tomato sauce and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Bean and low-fat cheese tacos or burritos.
  • Focaccia (flat bread similar to pizza) with or without cheese.
  • Portobello mushroom sandwich layered with stir-fried onions and peppers.
  • Hummus (mashed chick peas) with veggies and pita triangles.
  • Split-pea soup with rye bread.
  • Tofu and veggie stir-fry.

With careful planning, vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.
