Here's a chance to WIN FREE STUFF. October is World Vegetarian Awareness Month, so we would love to know: What is one of your favorite Vegetarian food products that even us non-Vegetarians would love?
My recommendation is Morningstar Farms Veggie Tomato and Basil Pizza Burger. I don't eat beef, and with this burger, I certainly don't feel like I'm missing anything.
As with our other Reader Favorites questions, we are giving away something. A random winner will be chosen from the comments to receive a copy of How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food by Mark Bittman and Alan Witschonke.

I like Gardenburger Portabella burgers. I'm not a vegetarian but I decided to give them a try, and they taste really good. Boca is also a good choice I like there new savory mushroom and mozzarella. I like the patties that don't try to pretend there beef; because I've tasted the real thing ,and they never get the taste quite right.
I LOVEEE anything by Boca or Light Life. The breaded chi'kn patties by Boca are insane. Slap 'em on a bun, add some cheese and a bit of tartar sauce, and they taste exactly like the fillets at McDonald's. lmao (only better!)
ANYTHING by Amy's but especially the Mexican tamale Pie. It is made with organic beans and vegetables in a lightly spiced Mexican sauce with a golden polenta topping. It is ONLY 150 calories and 3 grams of fat for the whole pot pie!
The best pizza ever: Amy's Roasted Vegetable Pizza....it's a must have before you die kind of food! ;)
Anything by Boca, especially the Chik'n patties...those are sooo good!
@Emily W - oh yes, how could I forget Amy's Roasted Veggie Pizza (we both reviewed it) - and it is delish - definitely a must have!
ANYTHING amy's organic, but especially her chili! And cali burger
either morningstar mini corn dog bites or their buffalo chik'n wings. i'm not a vegetarian by any means but i love both of those.
Those pizza burgers are good.
I do use the Morningstar Farms crumbles a whole lot, but I would really have to say my recommendation is Soyrizo. It is soooo good. Trader Joes has a version of it too now. Even my non-vegetarian husband likes it a lot.

SUNSHINE BURGERS AND LARABARS!!!
seitan! so good in stir frys
Boca crumbles are good in things that require ground beef-I can hardly tell the difference! But my favorite are Gardenburgers. While not EXACTLY the same, they're tasty enough that you don't mind
I would reccomend Boca Chili; I fooled my mom who is an avid meat eater! Also the new Parmesean Basil burgers from Boca.
Boca Original Vegan burgers - throw them in a pan with a little Pam spray, until they're crispy on the outside, and enjoy!
I love Morningstar Farms Garden Veggie Burgers. Soooo tasty! :)
Amy's Breakfast and/or Southwestern Burrito - tasty, substantial and something non-veggers can easily incorporate into their diets on a regular basis.
Falafel in a warm pita with tomatoes, cucumbers, and yogurt sauce!!!
Trader Joe's Indian Fare. All varieties. Wonderful with pita, naan, rice, bread.. by itself even!
Many things I would suggest have been listed...EVERYTHING LightLife! And Amy's!
Also:
Have you all tried Cedar Lane's Pizza Veggie Wrap? It's amazing!
Edamame boiled in the pods and eaten straight out...it's fun and yummy!
Any sort of vegetarian sushi...
And as for non-prepackaged? How about a nice dish of black beans, from scratch, made with chopped tomato, onion, garlic, and peppers...and seasoned with cumin, garlic, onion, and some herbs thrown in.
It. Is. DIVINE!
Amy's Sante Fe Enchilada Bowl - yum!!
I recommend Fantastic foods all natural Falafel mix. I mix a box of it up on Sunday (just add water) and eat it for the entire week without getting tired! It makes 8 servings which I divide up in the glass bowl after it sets up. In the morning, while making breakfast, I just roll up 3 little balls and toss them in the toaster oven on a sheet of aluminum foil until they are hot and light brown on the outside. Then I put them in a Cedar's wrap or another 80-90 calorie wrap, maybe with a little hummus or just some spinach and tomato and I have a 210-250 calorie lunch! At night, I put them on a big dinner salad with lots of fresh veggies. Sometimes I just roll them up in a lettuce leaf as well for a quick, portable snack throughout the day. As a hungry, poor graduate student, Fantastic foods have saved my life! It goes on sale all the time here in Tampa, Florida, but generally it is $2.69 - 3.99, not bad for a week's worth of meals. It has 130 calories per serving, 2g of fat, no saturated or trans fat. Its a little high in sodium with 350mg, has 21 grams of Carbs (but I burn those off running around all day) with 6grams of fiber, and a really fantastic 7 grams of protein.
Some of my favorites are sunshine burgers, pretty much anything Amy's makes (my favs are the pesto pizza, black bean burritos and spinach feta pockets),greek yogurt with a little honey, cinnamon and walnuts(fage is good but expensive so I strain my own and it's just as good)and sabra hummus
I'm a 5 year veggie and I've only recently started getting really into faux-meats. My favorites are morningstar chicken meal starters. AMAZING on a salad-- I've even tricked one of my hard core meat eating friends with them. Also the breaded tenders and cutets (I don't really care for Boca's... they do not have as much flavor as morningstar). I don't really care for veggie burgers that try to directly impersonate meat, I like ones that are obviously veggies. Dr. Pragers California (I don't care for the other types...) are great for that. Also Sunshine Veggie burger are AMAZING and filling. Um Amy's Bistro veggie is also great w/ a laughing cow light swiss (but expensive at whole foods.)
ALSO! Gardenburger's "riblets." So great! Probably just the sauce but still! Tofurky slices are great too. Oh and Boca crumbles for cooking (tacos, etc.) AND morningstar corn dogs.
HAH, I think thats it.
i LOVE tofurkey breakfast sausage - i think meat eaters would be fooled - cooking in microwave gives a meatier texture without the cow!!
I'm a non-veggie but I love Boca anything...their original patties, lasagna, chili. Also the morningstar corndogs are soo good. Yves pepperoni is another fav.
I like tofurkey slices! They are really tasty and I like cutting them up into salads.
email me when you have a sec.
you INININ for quaker?
Quorn's Cranberry and Goat Cheese Chicken patties are so-o amazing. They also have a Guyere cheese chicken patty that is tasty as well but not as great.
I have served Quorn's meatless chicken tenders to non-veg friends who absolutely cannot tell the difference. Love them!
Mmmm...Boca chili is delicious!
I like Amy's and also a new super chunky salsa called "Rowdy Roja". It's got a nice sweetness mixed in that compliments the heat. It's really good, and all natural.(www.rowdyroja.com)
Any Boca chik'n patties or chik'n nuggets. Honestly I don't like them (they are TOO meat like and it grosses me out!!) but for a meat eater they are great. My 5 year old brother LOVES them, thinks they are real chicken. Amy's spinach pizza and her spinach pizza snacks are AMAZING. I also love Amy's chilis, all of them. This sounds really odd, but Weight Watchers lasagna florentine is pretty amazing, so is Michael Angelo's vegetable lasagna. It was mentioned above, but falafel is a great non-meat thing I think anyone would love. Stir fry with brown rice made with mostly veggies, with or without tofu. Ok, this is making me hungry...lunch time!
