Hi! Thanks for visiting Inspired Design ~ it led me to your site. I couldn’t have found your blog at a better time because my 14 yr. old daughter has recently made the decision to become a vegetarian and I am needing some inspiration! Debby xo

I have some rice milk in the fridge right now! I haven’t tried that brand though. I will have to look into it. The eggplant and the rice recipes sound amazing!
I love Little Blue Deer too! Such a wonderful blog.
I hope you are having a wonderful day!

One of my really good friends, who was already a vegetarian, recently discovered she’s allergic to milk, eggs, peanuts, and (here’s the kicker) soy…which is in a lot of vegan foods… she’s also a college student so doesn’t have access to a ton of cooking supplies…any food/shopping suggestions?

Michelle M– Absolutely! Here’s a great link to some shopping suggestions ~ http://happylittlevegans.com/wordpress/?page_id=241. (*There are a few soy items on the list.)

I eat soy products only a few times a year so tell her not to worry, there are lots of different options!

Here are some of my favourites…

Quinoa
Fajitas/Burritos – with veggies, black beans, salsa and guacamole
veggie rice & beans
For cheese ~ Daiya Vegan Cheese
portobello mushroom burgers
veggie chili
pasta with lots of vegetables
rice/almond/hemp milk
toasted veggie sandwiches – (I love mashed avocado, tomatoes, spinach w/ a sprinkle of salt and drizzle of olive oil.)
falafels wraps
avocado rolls

Excellent links and inspirational quote. I was just listening to a podcast today that talked about the importance of finding inspiration. Your site definitely hit the target for that tonight. Thanks!

Will have to check out those links. I love rice milk and also recently changed my diet so it more… skin friendly The top foods I read about were: flaxseed, melons, avocado, and mango.
