I never heard of Vegetarian Week either. But then I'm a bit outside the norm.

What does that have to do with vegetarian?

I never heard of veggie week.  I plan on eating as I normally do.

Mr. Man's daughter is vegan.  I experiment with recipes for her sometimes but he & I are meat eaters.  Twice a year he goes vegetarian (but not vegan) for a month at a time.

Eggs are dairy?

To the OP, here are a few websites for Veggie cooking...I have a dear friend who bascially doesn't eat anything with a face, but I am constantly awed by her meals.  I don't foresee my husband giving up his steaks or Tri Tip, but the alternatives are endless.

They are often considered "dairy" and shelved in the dairy section at grocery stores. I never really understood this, myself.

Status: offline 		eggs are not dairy, but being an animal byproduct as milk is it is easy for people just to lump them in together.

i sort of like physicians committee for responsible medicine's website.
anyone wanting to go vegan can use their 21 day vegan kick-start for a lot of helpful tips and a huge amount of support on message boards.

i'm not vegan, but i removed meat and all other animal products except honey from my house a long time ago. if i want them, i have to go seek them out. which i rarely do. i prefer a plant based diet.

Nothing I guess except too much sugar is generally not good for you, and I've met more than a few overweight vegetarians.

I did some of that 20+ years ago. I was more wondering if anyone was doing anything beyond the normal. And new recipes are always welcomed of course.

LaT your posts alway put a little wee smile on my face. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

I am veggie for 20 + years now. But my OH and child are not so I cook meat for them all the time. That is why I would like to do something special for veggie week. Have now planned a wonderful dinner for tomorrow night for some friends and neighbours and will forget to mention that it is vegetarian until everone has cleared their plates :-) They are used of getting served meat so it will be interesting to see if there are comments during the meal or if any one notices.

Good plan.

The trick would be in the spices then.
Like potatoes with the same spices that you'd use on grilled chicken seem to work well.

Sadly, I think they'll notice any strong flavoured vegetables.

They might still notice, though. Having eaten both at one time or another, the texture is always different.
