Can we have a meal pic thread over in the Vegetarian sub-forum
so that everybody can post some pics of their meals? It would be wonderful to get inspired by what types of Vegetarian meals other Pners are eating. Recently I've decided to adopt the PN lifestyle vegan again, but the thing that always seems to throw me off course are the meal options and the protein debate.

Since you always provide such excellent information, I am confident that I'll now be able to make it work in the long term.

Thank you!

Good idea.....I'll start one.

Hey Ryan, I have 2 questions. First, how are you roasting your eggplant? Look delicious. Second, how much hummus is a serving? Thanks.

Hey Peg,

I roast the eggplant in the oven with a little bit of canola oil. 400 degrees. 15 or 20 minutes depending on the size.

A standard serving of hummus is 2 TBSP. But its super nutritious and very filling. I usually just recommend people take a couple big spoonfuls.

Thanks for checking in!
