5. Mrs. Snark and I recently began our "vegetarian experiment"

and the kindle book The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook by America's Test Kitchen has been very helpful.
I feel great and have lost almost 40 pounds (also been walking a lot and swarn off beer).

I can say that I've not missed meat at all, although the upcoming Labor Day cookout thing may be a challenge.
Cooking has been much easier than I'd thought and I haven't goofed up anything yet.

So far, our faves have been-
Tempeh Tacos, Falafel, Red Beans & Rice, various salads (luv the Trader Joe's Cilantro dressing), and veggie sandwiches (knockoff of the Panera Mediterranean Veggie sandwich).

We have tried several of the veggie burgers and have ranked them-
1) Trader Joe's Quinoa Cowboy
2) Harvestburger
3) Gardenburger
4) Dr. Praegers

We're still seeking out burgers, so please let me know your fave burger.
Thanks!
