Any unusual ideas? I'm SOOOO sick of meat!

I can sympathize, and it looks like you got some really great suggestions. Something I frequently do is crustless quiches. Use your imagination for the fillings, serve with a salad and you have a light lunch or dinner. Also, don't forget about fish. A nice broiled fillet or Salmon, cod, halibut, ummmmm.

Good luck!

You can try tofu instead of meat. Also seasonings like Mrs. Dash, Sazon and Adobo spice things up.

Thank you all so much, you're all so helpful! I think I will eventually try all of these ideas...

Hey Kimberely! Welcome to the board. Are you a fan of tofu? It's a great source of protein. It's so bland it picks up any flavor you use with it. I like it with just a little Splenda and Cinnamon on it. Or fried up with butter and it gets all crispy on the outside! When you bump yourself up the food ladder, you will have more choices besides meat! Best of luck to you!

Hi there. he he ... so you are having a "meat moment". Don't despair. Have you tried fluffy omelettes. Whip up egg white seperately. Beat up yolks, fold gently into egg whites. And fry. They go up like a souffle. You can sprinkle some cheese on, finely chopped salady stuff. Very nice.
Also, try nuking a piece of fresh white fish in the microwave for around 2 mins on high, with just a splash of water (covered bowl). Make sure it flakes easily to ensure its cooked. Cook a bit more if needed. Then add some finely chopped chives and a splash of double cream, bit of salt and pepper. Then nuke again for a few seconds just to warm up the cream. Very nice with some stirfried finely sliced cabbage.
Crispy chicken strips. Get some raw chicken strips. Pat dry on kitchen towel. Beat up an egg white into soft peaks. Spice your chicken. Dip into the egg white and deep fry. Fabulous - you can make them really crispy.
Also you could try jazzing up your piece of steak. Fry some sliced mushrooms in butter. Add some cream - on very gentle heat. When warmed through, throw in some grated cheese. Ta daaaahhhhh ... a legal cheese and mushroom sauce. Even nicer if you add some finely sliced green pepper to cook with the mushies.
Hope this helps.

I am not a big meat eater either. I eat mostly chicken, turkey and tuna or egg dishes. We usually only eat meat when we go out or barbecue. You've been given some good ideas...don't be afraid to experiement and be happy with your food choices. Use different spices and try new veggies with your meals. Whatever you do...don't get bored -- get creative!

Myself, I'm a carnivour, if I was here millions of years ago, I guarantee you I was a Raptor or T-Rex. hehe!

My brother is a vegetarian, and he loves tofu. Says it takes on the flavors of other items you are cooking with!

Best of luck! Thanks for posting!
