Some people spend a lot of time complaining that living a vegetarian
lifestyle is difficult, because selecting these food options is more
expensive than choosing traditional meals. However, vegetarians will be
happy to know that they too can indulge in cost effective recipes! Here are my favorites :)
Grilled Vegetable Sandwiches
Pick up a package of your favorite bread, whether it's whole wheat sandwich thins or thick slices of panini bread, and an array of your favorite vegetables. Ideas include peppers, zucchini, broccoli and so forth. Grill or saute them up with some garlic and olive oil, toast the bread or put it in a panini maker and add the vegetables. You'll have a delicious, home cooked meal for cheap.
Vegetarian Tacos
Set up a vegetarian taco bar in your house. Your family and wallet will love it! If you shop for store brand items, you can find shredded cheddar, sour cream, taco shells, salsa and avocados for fairly low prices. Cook up rice and beans to put into the tacos. If you do eat fish, you could also opt for tacos with shrimp or pieces of fillet. A large package of 50-60 shrimp can provide several meals for your family.
Burgers and Fries
No one says that you have to miss out on an all America meal of burgers and fries just because you're a vegetarian. You can pick up packages of ready made veggie or black bean burgers in the store, but it may be more cost effective to make your own. Mix all of your favorites together in the same way that you do with traditional burgers. You can add whatever seasonings and sauces that you like. For healthier fries as a side dish, sprinkle a bit of salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil over cut up potatoes and bake them in the oven at 400 degrees for approximately 45 minutes.
Pasta and Vegetables
You have so many options when mixing together pasta and vegetables. You could saute them with soy sauce and ginger for some Asian inspired flavor. You could also do a traditional spaghetti dinner with homemade sauce, and chop up tomatoes, mushrooms, onions and pieces of garlic to have instead of meatballs. Sure, you can have plain pasta, but adding in those extras give the meal some bulk and excitement.
Gourmet Grilled Cheese
While everyone else is adding bacon, sausage and ham to their grilled cheeses, you'll save a few dollars from avoiding these meats. Instead, you can put the money from that budget into some more exciting cheeses. Try Gruyere or Brie for your next grilled cheese. Add some sliced apples with that brie for an extra special bite of delight. If you're on a very, very strict budget, just try some cheeses other than the standard American. Cheddar, mozzarella and Swiss are all affordable cheeses that immediately come to mind.
See? Living a vegetarian lifestyle doesn't mean that you have to be poor. If you're willing to think outside the box a little bit, you can eat an array of foods that make meat eaters jealous of both your bank account and meals.
