What are some tasty, flavorful, protein rich vegetarian meals?

Grew up vegetarian until I was an adult. Once I moved to the US, I was forced to convert to eating meat. I have recently discovered how inflammatory eating meat is and trying to go back to being a vegetarian. But find it so hard to order anything at restaurants that is not a salad or doesnt taste like cardboard.

Seek out veg restaurants and health food store cafes (like whole foods) for both great food and recipe inspiration. Also cook like your mom. The food you grew up with might be better than a lot of American food.

Carb heavy vegetarian food. It's easy to find that. Protein rich is hard.

Almost anything Indian people eat (and I say that as a non-Indian).

Out of curiosity, why were you forced to eat meat?

Lived and worked in a tiny town in the south where Walmart and olive garden were the only two places that had vegetarian options.

Just wanted to post an update. 68 weeks ago I posted about my drinking problems. It was bad. It’s been 8 months now without a single drink. I still can’t believe it. I still miss drinking. I’ve sat with coworkers and watched them drink. It’s not nearly as fun, but I am so thankful each morning I can hold my head up high. Will I drink again? I only said I would quit for 60 days. Can I have a beer? Some wine? A fine bourbon? I sometimes crave it. I guess there is the answer! You can all do this!

Hi Fish
I saw a post about people looking for rental deals in Chicago.

My building is offering a promotion for anyone that's referred from a current resident. I get a discount credit on rent and you would get one month free, plus a $400 rental credit, plus a $500 Amazon gift card.

There's no move/out fees and rent varies from ~1600 to 2,000 depending if you want a studio, one-bed, or two-bed.

Lakeview Boystown area, new building with ceiling to floor windows.

If you're interested DM me!
