Mom's Veggie Rice

My mom decided to make veggie rice today. It was really good, better than any veggie rice that I have gotten from any Chinese food restaurant that I usually get veggie rice from. Also probably better for you too.

I thought it tasted great! All my mom did was fry some vegetables and eggs. Then she made some steamed white rice and put soy sauce on them for added flavor. Then she mixed the fried vegetables and eggs with the steamed white rice. It is a pretty easy and tasty meal to make.

Sorry, I don't know what the price is, probably around $10, maybe more, depends on what ingredients you get. Also not sure about the calories either, but probably not much being that it is rice and veggies. Overall I think it is a great, tasty, delicious meal. Thanks mom!

Tommy's Mesquite Kitchen Veggie Burger

Price: $4.99

Calories: Unkown

Quality: 5/5

Overall: A really good veggie burger.

This past week, I decided to try a restaurant near my house called Tommy's Mesquite Kitchen. I had saw on their menu that they had veggie burgers, so I wanted to try theirs. I was really happy I did! I think it was one of the best veggie burgers that I've ever had. If you want to call it a veggie burger, it tastes more like a veggie chicken sandwich, they way they made it. I'm not sure if any of you vegans, or fellow vegetarians have eaten a chicken sandwich before, but they were my second choice, sometimes first choice of things to get at any fast food restaurant and I kind of have been missing them.

Yes I am against eating animals, but I really liked those chicken sandwiches! And i'm glad that Tommy's Mesquite Kitchen has decided to make them the way that they did. It tastes just like those chicken sandwiches with the lettuce tomato at the bottom and the mayonnaise at the top. It was a good veggie burger! Thanks Tommy's Mesquite Kitchen!

Becks Prime's Veggie Burger

Price: $8.25

Calories: 314

Quality: 3/5

Overall: A good veggie burger

Well, i'll say that this was one of the best veggie burgers that I've tried. Although it wasn't what I was expecting, since i'm used to Five Guys veggie burgers where they just put veggies. I was so confused by Becks Prime's veggie burger that I even tried to give it back to them because I had thought they had give me the wrong burger. I later found out that it was a veggie burger when I started eating it. I could tell the difference and even if I still began to doubt I felt assured by all of the black beans that I kept on seeing when I was eating it.

It was a good burger. I wasn't really sure what Becks Prime's burgers were going to be like, but seeing the price tag, I was hoping that it would more than just lettuce, tomato's, and pickles. I really liked it. It was filling and tasted as good as any burger that I've had, maybe even better. Great burger!

Randall's Basil Soup Bread Bowl

Price: Below $5

Calories: Maybe around 500, not sure

Quality: 5/5

Overall: A lot of great soup for a cheap price.

If you love bread bowl soups as much as I do and are missing Quizno's bread bowl soups (where I had eaten my first bread bowl soup, or even heard of the idea), then Randall's has just the soup for you. Come on in during lunch, or dinner and grab one of their delicious soups. I chose basil, being one of their only true vegan soups. There is macaroni and clam chowder soup, but the macaroni isn't really considered vegan and also can only usually be bought before 7 pm, during lunch time. The macaroni is not considered vegan because it has cheese which comes from animals. I recently learned this from a vegan meet up that I had went to the other day. Anything that comes from animals, including milk and eggs is not considered vegan. It is vegetarian though.

Anyway, back on topic Randall's bread bowl soups are a good choice for the non-meat eater. It just depends on which soup you get.

Fadi's Falafel

Price: around 5, or 10 dollars

Calories: unknown

Quality: 5/5

Overall: A great veggie choice for when you feel like eating Mediterranean food.

Falafel! It is filling and doesn't have any meat in it. I think it is made entirely out of vegetables, but i'm not sure . It's a great meal! I really liked it!

Spaghetti Without The Meatballs

Price: around $5

Calories: around 200 (spaghetti and sauce) and 400 with the meatballs (3 meatballs is around 200 calories) So adding meatballs adds about half of the amount of calories in your spaghetti, so your also losing weight as well, by not adding the meatballs.

Quality: 5/5

Overall: Spaghetti and sauce, what's better?

For this meal, my family made meatballs and spaghetti. Luckily for me they made the meat balls and spaghetti separately, so I could get some spaghetti and pour some sauce in from the tray of meat balls which unfortunately, they didn't separate, but that's ok! I managed to get the sauce out without getting any meat in my spaghetti.

One of my first without the meats, a great way to skip it! A great meal, I love spaghetti. It's very cheap and filling. Another cheap and filling meal.

Jason's Deli: Plain Jane Baked Potato

Price: $7.13 with bacon, so probably less without.
Calories: 2320 with bacon, so probably around 2000 calories without the bacon.
Quality: 5/5
Overall: A big potato that tastes good.

One of my favorite baked potatos. It's very big and filling for a reasonably, pretty cheap price! A great meal for that hungry veggie!

String Cheese Sandwich

Price: around $10

Quality: 5/5
Calories: 365 using the ingredients that I used.

Overall: Great, simple, easy to make sandwich.

Ingredients: String Cheese
pickles
Two Bread slices
Mayonnaise
Mustard

The Ingredients that I prefer:
HEB orange string cheese (any brand, or string cheese will do)
Mt. Olive's pickles (any brand will do)
Sun Beam; white bread (you can use any type of bread, but I think white bread is the best)
Mayonnaise (all mayonnaise tastes pretty much the same)
Dijon Mustard

I found out about this sandwich when I was trying to find something to bring something to eat at the animal shelter that I volunteer at. I was still into eating meat then, but I couldn't find any meat in the fridge, so I got some string cheese, mustard, pickles, and mayonnaise and made a sandwich out of them. Introducing the string cheese sand which, or as I like to call it. It is a very meat less good sandwich.

Ravello Parmesan Fettuccini Pasta Sides

Price: around 50 cents to a dollar

Calories: 300

Quality: 4/5

Overall: Fun quick meal!

A Very yummy, cheap meal that can not only feed yourself, but a few others as well. It only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to make. Very good quality; great meal, or side for you, your family, or your friends!

Fengleng's Chow mein Noodles

Price: around $ 6

Calories: probably around 600

Quality: 2/5 

Overall: Great noodles, but they kind of tasted weird the last time I had them.

These chow mein noodles came with meat, but I think you can probably ask them to make the noodles by themselves. These noodles used to be one of my favorite things to eat, but last time I ordered them they tasted a little weird, more like fast food buffet noodles, which I don't like. I don't why, maybe they just messed up, or something. Either way, I've been apprehensive about ordering them ever since. But if you are hungry for some chow mein noodles and are willing to try them out they are at least a cheap filling meal for you, or your family.

Domino's Bread Bowl: Chicken Alfredo Pasta

                                       Price: $6.48

                                       Calories: For the bread bowl, 1340-1470,
                                                     In tin, 540-670;
                                                     maybe a little less without the chicken.
                                       Taste: 5/5
                                       Quality: 5/5
                                       Overall: A great meal!

This is one of the first without the meat ideas, if not the first without the meat ideas. My mom wanted to order the Chicken Alfredo Pasta, but I didn't want it because it had chicken in it. So, she said to take it out.
I reluctantly agreed to this, tried it, and thought it tasted good. A couple of days later, I wanted something to eat.
I went down to the local Domino's. This time I asked him for the Chicken Alfredo Pasta, but without the meat. They agreed and actually charged me less. The price is usually $7.57 for the bread bowl with the chicken; the tin is a little bit less, but I like the bread bowl.
So, not only do I get to save some a chickens, but I also get to save some money as well! What a great deal!
I really like bread bowls and I think Domino's Chicken Alfredo Pasta is one of the best. The warm garlic bread fill with cheese and pasta taste really good. A nice filling meal for a reasonable price.

Taco Cabana's Re-fried Beans And Rice

   Price: $1.99, or $2.59 each, for a large rice and large re-fried beans; $5.18 dollars total.

   Calories: unknown

                                                              Taste: 5/5

Quality: good

Overall: Good re-fried beans and rice, can serve 4 people; great value.

I got the side order of re-fried beans and rice for free so, I don't know the exact price. Also the tortilla came from the enchilada meal. I had been meaning to buy the beans and rice separate when I was ordering 4 enchilada meal's for my family. I had decided to order 4 meals rather than order the enchilada's, rice, and beans separately. The total was going to be a $19.80 if I had bought them separately and about $25 for 4 meals. 

     Since I wasn't sure if there would be enough re-beans and rice for my family. I had decided to order the 4 meals instead. I was kind of annoyed with myself and had thought that I had missed out on a good deal, but when I had got home I noticed that the cashier had put two free large rice and re-fried beans for me. I was happy and found out that there would have been plenty of rice and beans for the 4 of us.
It is a great value. Good for someone who's looking for a filling snack, lunch, or dinner; maybe even breakfast!
      Before I end this review I would like to thank the cashier at Taco Cabana for giving me the free re-fried beans and rice. Thanks!

Domino's Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich

Price: $6.48
  Calories: 670
Taste: 5/5
Overall: A good sandwich for a reasonable price.

Being new to this idea of not eating meat and not feeling like eating any more bread bowl pastas (I'll show y'all later) I decided to order this sandwich instead. My first impressions were that it looked kind of weird, but it tasted good. Kind of like a mix between Subway and Quizno's. The jalapeno's are the only thing that make it taste like a Subway sandwich. I thought it was pretty good. A great substitute for meat. It's got good taste and it fills you up. The only problems that I had with it were that some of the ingredients kept falling out, but other than that I thought it was good.

Fadi's Fried Okra

                    Price: Probably around $10.

Scale: unknown
Taste scale: 4/5

                                                           Quality: good

         Overall: A good meal

Fried Okra from Fadi's Mediterranean grill. I thought it tasted good. The sauce makes it taste a little sweet, but other than that it is a good meal.

HEB Spinach Quiche

Price: $7:48

                                 Scale: Probably around 24 oz/ 1.5
     Taste scale: 5/5
  Quality: good
                 Overall: A great quiche

A classic spinach quiche that taste the same as any other that I've had. I like the spinach quiche the most out of all of the quiches. 

HEB Three Cheese Quich

Price: $7:48

                                                             Scale: 24 oz/1.5 lbs

                                                             Taste scale: 5/5

                                                             Quality: good

                                                             Overall: A good quiche for a good price.

I was kind of skeptical about about it at first not knowing what a three cheese quiche would taste like. I don't know why they called it a three cheese quiche since their seems to be only one type of cheese in it. The whole quiche is just one layer of cheese. The taste is the same as any other quiche, just without any kind of toppings in it. I thought it was pretty good. It tasted alot better than I expected it to. I wasn't really sure how it would taste with all that cheese, but it tasted the same as any other quiche that I've had. I thought it was good and filling. I think it is a great choice for someone looking for something filling and tasty that doesn't have any meat in it. A good choice, a good buy.
