you can email me: xasktiffany@yahoo.comI like dancing, music, Jake Gyllenhaal, t-shirts, comedy, summer nights, funny movies, and photography.
I hate perfectionists, although I can be one, people who edit their pictures with peace signs and dumb quotes, and flies.
I like giving advice. I don't know if I'm any good at it. Nobody has told me either way.
Ask me whatever, I'll do what I can to help you out.

17/f my family doesn't really support me being vegetarian so I basically have to cook for myself. I don't really know what to make. I don't eat any kind of meat and I dont ever plan on it, it grosses me out. So what's good that I can make? I've been living on yogurt and noodles. Ha any suggestions? By the way, I've never had tofu, I don't know where to find it, and also I don't like the taste of meat so yeah don't think I'd want it:)
I'm also the only vegetarian in my family, so i feel your pain. But you certainly can't live off of yogurt and noodles. That's not healthy. You need protein. I go to peanut butter (the natural stuff is better for you than skippy or jiff, even though they taste better) I also love beans. You can make vegetarian chili with different kinds of beans, tomatoes, celery, corn, or whatever other kinds of vegetables you like. Or you can look up recipes for vegetarian chili or google or foodnetwork.com.
I go to foodnetwork for a lot of my inspiration. You just have to watch some shows and get different ideas. Some shows do have vegetarian specials, I know Rachel Ray (as annoying as she is) always makes vegetarian suggestions.
Also, eating fresh fruit and vegetables are great! Salads are good, too.
Tofu has nothing to do with meat, so I don't know where you got the idea that it tastes like meat. Its mashed up soybeans. You can buy it at any grocery store, in the refrigerated section. It doesn't taste like anything, which is the beauty of it. The only tricky part about it is that it comes in water, so you have to drain it and crumble it or cut it to get out excess water. I usually put it in chili. You can fry it with different spices and experiment with different things you like, or go to foodnetwork again.
I love making different kinds of burritos with refried beans, or rice and beans, different cheeses, homemade salsas, etc.
Also, flaffles are REALLY good. You can buy a box of mix in most grocery stores or look up how to make them from scratch on google (I'm too lazyto do that now)
Part of being a vegetarian is experimenting with different foods and seeing what you like and what tastes good and whats easy to make and stuff like that. Its also taking dishes that might require meat or something meat based and learning how to substitute. Like for soups, instead of using a chicken or beef broth, use vegetable broth.
