Veggie Lunch

I'd been planning scrambled eggs with fresh spinach and mushrooms for several days now. This was made with Olive Oil and butter, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 package sliced field mushrooms, 1 bunch of fresh spinach shredded and 4 large brown organic eggs whisked with 2 T skim milk, salt and pepper. Once the mushrooms were brown and the spinach was wilted I added the eggs and stirred until the eggs were soft cooked. It was a wonderful source of iron and a memorable meal.

There are several types of vegetarians today. Vegans, who are the purists of the vegetarian world and who have the most limited diet, refuse to eat all animal-derivative foods including butter, cheese, eggs and milk. Ovo-lacto vegetarians consider such animal-related foods acceptable but, of course, do not eat meat. Then there are those vegetarians who will eat fish and/or poultry, but not other animal meat. Across the board, most vegetarians prefer their food organically grown and (if they eat fish and fowl) organically fed. Vegetarians get their PROTEIN from a variety of sources, such as foods from the large family of LEGUMES.
