I'm a new vegetarian, and my family eats meat 24/7... What are some alternate meal options?

Question

My family eats chicken or steak or fish or some type of meat every night! What can I get as alternate meal options when these are being served?

Answer 1

well,

eat whatever your family has that isn't meat,

but go get some

fake burgers, chicken patties, etc.

the two brands i buy most are

morning star

and boca.

but there are tons of other brands,

there is usually a place in the freezer section at walmart,

and a place in the produce section at walmart.

that has vegetarian/vegan food.

so you can cook those yourself to eat with your family..

btw, the morning star chicken nuggets are to die for!

Answer 2

Portobello mushrooms are a great substitute for meat. Grill them up and it tastes just like meat.  

Answer 3

Eat the side dishes. After all, they don't eat ONLY MEAT right? To folks that eat meat, vegetarian food would be considered accompaniment, but it's all part of the meal. Just don't eat the meat and you've got yourself a vegetarian meal.

Answer 4

fruit salad?

Answer 5

I have the same problem.

I also love the morning star "chicken" nuggets.

They also have chicken meal starters that taste so much like meat its scary. If you don't want to do that you can just eat the other stuff that isn't meat. Hope that helps!
