I am a vegetarian living in Las Vegas and if you are a vegetarian in the US, you know how it can be pretty hard to find good vegetarian food at times. That’s when you need to get positive and creative. There truly are a ton of vegetarian dishes right around the corner that we often don’t think about because the restaurant is not exactly known for its vegetarian dishes. Hey, the reason why some restaurants are not famous for their vegetarian dishes is because vegetarians eating at those places are in a microscopic minority, and sometimes their vegetarian dishes can actually be better than their other offerings. Here are three dishes that you should most probably be able to find in your neighbourhood without a problem, so here you go:

1. Einstein Bros Bagels: They have a Vegetarian Sandwich that is to die for. The sprouts and the garlic-paste in gives is a very refreshing taste and texture. They can even make your sandwiches on a bagel and you will probably agree that they make one of the best bagels out there. The sandwich costs about $6 and comes with a side of potato salad or chips. The potato salad is vegetarian and pretty good as well. So the next time you are wondering what new to eat for lunch, give the bagel bros a try!

2. Vegetarian Thai Fried Rice: I have had Thai Fried Rice in several Thai restaurants and they never disappoint me. Restaurants have different styles and that makes it fun to try this at different Thai restaurants. You can usually tell them how spicy you want it to be so you can adjust it to your taste. My favorite Thai restaurant in Las Vegas is Kung Fu. Their Fried Rice is just $6 and is amazing value for that money. I honestly would pay $9 for it I think. They also have the Panang Vegetarian and the Pad Thai which are to die for as well. The Panang Vegetarian is a coconut milk and peanut butter sauce based dish with sauteed vegetables. Yummy! Try your local Thai place the next time and ask them what they can do for you in Vegetarian. You will be surprised how good they can be.

3. Chipotle Burrito: This is my favorite when I am really hungry. They have a HUGE vegetarian burrito. Like all other Chipotle stuff, the burrito is quite flavorful. I always ask them to add a few drops of lime or lemon because I like the citrus flavor with burrito. What I like about their burrito other than the fact that is is perhaps the biggest Burrito I’ve ever had is that the tortilla is moist and soft. And the ingredients are always fresh. The rice is always perfectly cooked and tastes quite yummy. Ask to add the guacamole and their medium corn salsa, and you have a $6.5 dish that will fill you up good

I hope you enjoyed reading about these 3 vegetarian ideas to try out in your neighborhood!

Jeff Popick has been writing articles and information about the benefits of the Vegan lifestyle. He assumes the title of the “Vegan Sage” which is kind of funny to me actually. But title aside, the things that he says are right on. He recently wrote a neat Ebook called “The Real Forbidden Fruit“. This book goes into the details of how a vegan lifestyle benefits both the Vegan as well as the entire world. He talks about how our farming and livestock practises have eroded the top soil in the US in just 300 years. He talks about how vegans contribute to stopping global warming. He also dedicates and entire section to talking about the myths surrounding vegetarianism and veganism and how and why they are false. Overall, a good read for any Vegetarian or Vegan or anyone considering to become one even partially. Read the Ebook - The Real Forbidden Fruit and let me know what you think.

He also has a neat Vegan Restaurant Search by zip code on his site, which actually works unlike many other similar restaurant searches on the ‘net. Also, the results were quite accurate for my zip code in Las Vegas.

It has been a while since I wrote a post on this blog. I have been wanting to, but honestly, did not have too many ideas on what to write about :). Finally came across this guide today and thought that some of you might like totake a look at it.

The guide is a nice one, with quality vegetarian and vegan recipes. Sometimes I think it’s true when they say you get what you pay for. The guide does cost some money ($13.50) but if you are interested in a veggie lifestyle, I think you will find the guide useful. Note that I am in no way connected with the guide though.

They even give you a free gift just for signing up and including a ton of news and tips that are likely to make a vegetarian life easier.
