Vegetarian
What kind are you?
What's your favorite vegetarian recipe?
I swing between being a semi-vegetarian and lacto-ovo vegetarian. I can think of any vegetarian recipes right now.

my best friend EVER is vegan. She eats a lot of pasta with olive oil and tomato sauce, if I remember right.

I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian but I'd LOVE to be vegan someday. The Moosewood Cookbook is really good and you can search the Vegetarian Times website for recipes.
Right now, my favorite thing in the world is grilled vegetables. A little olive oil and some salt and pepper is all you really need to put on before throwing them on the grill. Corn on the cob is amazing grilled if you brush it with melted butter and tamari while it's grilling.

I'm the type that doesn't eat pork or beef. I guess that's vegetarian enough.

My best friend from high school went on to St. Olaf college in Northfield, MN. Vegan is so popular that the cafeteria offers a separate vegan menu! I'd love to attempt the vegan lifestyle, but not being somewhere its always offered I would be tempted to cheat!

Yeah, that's considered as semi-vegetarian.

Indeed! I'm addicted to grilled broccoli and cauliflower w/ olive oil and seasoning.
I'll have to drop by Green Zebra the next time I go to Chicago.

I am a vegan, so no meat, seafood, eggs, dairy or anything that is derived from animals. I have been this way for a little over a month, so not too long, and I love it.
I eat all kinds of homemade indian food and there are some amazing soy products out there that taste just like the original to me. Fave thing vegan right now: Soy Dream Ice Cream :-).
I don't do much cooking but I love the 6 inch subway veggie delite with veggies, oil and oregano.

What is a lacto-ovo vegetarian? One which does eat eggs and dairy or one that doesn't?
My 7 year-old has decided within the past few months that she isn't eating meat and that's fine with me because I think that vegetarianism is the healthier lifestyle when done properly. I'm at a loss, however, for varied and healthy recipes to try so I am happy to read about the Vegetarian Times website.

I don't think I could go vegan for 2 reasons...
1. I LOVE milk and ice cream too much.
2. It's hard enough trying to find stuff I can eat considering the fact that I don't eat pork and beef. And most vegan foods are damn near non-existant where I live, either that or they're way too expensive.

Same here. I like dairy products a lot. Soy Milk doesn't come non-fat around here and some has more sugar than I need. (I've looked.) And I'm already stretched pretty thin on what I can eat. I've basically tried to cut red meat out. (Love vegi burgers.) But I love chicken and fish.
And yeah... shopping at a place like Whole Foods that does carry vegan stuff CAN get really expensive.

Ovo-lacto=still eats eggs/dairy. Most female vegetarians I know are ovo-lacto (or more lacto, really) in order to maintain a good calcium intake.
Cool 7-year old! The Whole Foods Market Cookbook has a section especially for kids, and most of the recipes are vegetarian/vegan.
