    Budget-Friendly Fare: Vegetarian for a Day

    June 16, 2010 | 26 comments | Post a Comment

    pasta
    With the cheapest steak cuts setting you back five dollars a pound and family packs of chicken breasts going for ten bucks a pop, feeding your carnivorous clan can mean a hefty grocery bill. Skip meat a couple days each week and you're looking at major savings.

    Don't worry — veg-friendly meals aren't limited to soy products or cheesy pastas (though we've got those covered!). With summer-fresh veggies hitting the market soon (and high season means low prices), now's the time to get creative in the kitchen. Make one of these vegetarian main dishes, and we promise you won't hear "Where's the beef?" at the dinner table.

    What a great job putting together this collection of recipes. Thank you, and for the terrific photos. I'm making out my grocery list this afternoon so I'll have plenty of pantry ingredients on hand to whip up many of them. Can't wait to try them out!

    June 7, 2010 12:56pm

    These all sound so wonderful... where to begin! I want to try them all. This is the problem with reading the Zaar before you've taken time to eat breakfast...

    June 7, 2010 4:47pm

    This is such a timely post! My DD has just converted to a vegetarian lifestyle, and we could all stand to eat a little healthier. The money savings is just a side bonus! :D How can I save this blog history so I don't lose these links?

    June 8, 2010 10:07am

    We traditionally have meatless Fridays, and sometimes Wednesdays, and replace meat with fish,, though it can be vegetarian too. A lot of good ideas here.

    June 8, 2010 10:12am

    This is so timely! We drove by a local vegetable stand yesterday and bought peaches, corn, zuchinni and cantelope. Had some other fresh veggies home so we had grilled corn, peaches, tomatoes, zuchinni and onions. We made a salad with fresh garden lettuce, cucumber, onions and fresh blackberries! Absolutely delicious and my husband was so full he didn't notice he didn't have any meat! Will do this a couple times a week now.

    June 8, 2010 3:19pm

    We try to eat vegetarian 2-3 nights a week and now I have more recipes to draw from. I can't wait to try many of these recipes on my family. Thanks for posting this collection RecipeZaar.

    June 8, 2010 3:33pm

    What a great post! Although we are not totally or strictly vegetarian, DH and I like to consume several meatless meals throughout the week-- just part of trying to eat smarter and healthier. This time of the year, our local grocers and farmers markets are brimming with a wide selection of fresh produce--and we also grow much of our own veggies and herbs right here in our own backyard organic potager garden! Wonderful! We are increasing our intake of fish, as well. Thank you for this timely post, and for encouraging a healthier and smarter lifestyle!

    June 8, 2010 4:31pm

    Wow! So many great recipes to try. I love vegetarian food for health reasons so this post is right up my alley. Great job!

    June 8, 2010 8:12pm

    Hi everyone! Welcome from one of the hosts of the vegetarian board! Come on over and join us for vegetarian related discussion, as well as our Veggie Swap Tag game, a relaxed month-long swap to share recipes that are vegetarian, vegan, or raw! The next swap starts July 1st, but watch the action in June's swap, and get a glimpse at what we're cooking and the mouth-watering pictures as well! Katzen, co-host

    June 10, 2010 6:53pm

    I became a vegetarian last summer and i am only eating real foods the newsletter is awesome!

    June 11, 2010 11:45am

    Lunch today is Marilyn's Mac and Cheese With Tomatoes because it is cold and rainy and I have tomatoes that need to be used! It looks scrumptious and the photo sold me!!!! Yum! Great selection here. We eat meatless dishes during the week too. Not for costs sake but because we like pasta and veggies!

    June 11, 2010 3:03pm

    I made Marilyn's Mac and Cheese With Tomatoes for lunch today and it was quite good! I used white extra-sharp New York Cheddar and Monterey Jack and Colby and of course provolone! I had some fresh plum tomatoes so used those and added some homemade tomato juice. No fresh oregano yet so I had to use dry. Added some cracked pepper and a little sea salt when served! This really hit the spot today as it is only 65 degrees, windy and overcast! Thanks for the great photo that inspired me!

    June 13, 2010 12:03am

    I don't know. I could probably live on cheesy pastas and never get bored. I guess I never realized how much eating meat costs. Thanks!

    June 19, 2010 4:15pm

    Yep, this house is always meatless! :D Just because it's meatless doesn't mean you're out of options-- and also, don't be afraid to look at meat dishes and think of ways to vegi-fy them. A lot of my favorite ways to cook vegetables and tofu came from fish and pork recipes that I altered. What I love the most about being vegetarian is that in addition to it being easy on the wallet,ou don't have to worry about cross-contamination and cooking thoroughly. If you eat a piece of undercooked tofu, seitan, or vegetable you won't end up in the hospital! For those who are just starting to cook with tofu, check out the Vegetarian & Vegan forum for cooking tips and methodology. Like meats, there are certain ways it has to be handled to come out right!

    July 1, 2010 1:15pm

    I have no issue cooking vegetarian once in a while, but the cost savings aren't really any justification. I can get a great cut of beef for 1.99 a pound. And a 10 pound bag of boneless skinless chicken breast is under twenty dollars. Tempeh on the other hand is about 2.50 and that barely feeds 2 people. And let's not even talk about the various mushrooms. - All of which I love, mind you. I just eat them for flavor, not to save money.

    July 1, 2010 9:22pm

    Never mind the fact, that anywhere on the east coast, fish/shellfish are going to be going through the ROOF!!! I love the low carb, low fat, low price grains~ ~
