Have fun at your next cooking demo by showing participants how to modify their existing recipes into vegetarian ones:

- The meat in spaghetti sauce can be substituted with boiled black beans, tempe or TVP in place of ground beef. This substitution goes well in skillet dishes, spaghetti and chili.- Baked tofu can be used in place of deli meats for sandwiches. It can also be used in place of cooked chicken to make stir fries and many other dishes.- Silken tofu can be used in place of ricotta cheese for lasagna filling. Blend it smooth in a food processor first.-Use vegetarian burger crumbles or vegetarian chili in place of ground meat for tacos and burros.-Minced red beets can be used in place of bacon bits on salads for color and flavor.
