October 20: Expand Your Food Possibilities This Vegetarian Awareness Month
Feel you can't live without meat? Don't dismiss vegetarian meals too easily-many offer flavors you have yet to imagine! Vegetarian Awareness Month arose in October as the harvest offers more vegetarian options. It seeks to give people alternatives to a meat-based diet and promote the ethical, environmental, health, and humanitarian effects of being a vegetarian.
Even if you only eat a vegetarian meal once a week, the benefits to the planet and your health will be significant. This is a great time to try online food recipes featuring tofu, eggplant, or Portobello mushrooms-which all offer the satisfaction of meat dishes without the fat or calories. Learn new food preparation ways that enhance the flavor of vegetables by exploring these ideas presented by Dishfolio food bloggers. A few bites into your new vegetarian meals and you will not even miss the meat!
