Veggie week - Time to stop being chicken and branch out!

So when I first said veggie for a week in my head I was just going to eat things I know I like and have tried before.

After talking with a few people that are willing to share recipes and a very informative kitchen ambush I now know what Quinoa is and I want to try it!

Quinoa:
"Very flavorful alternative to black beans and rice. Quinoa is a nutty grain from South America."

I always said that I don`t like Tofu and won`t eat anything wtih tofu...but wait a minute, I do eat tofu everytime I go to Mekong. The Hot and Sour soup has tofu and it`s delicious. I will try J-Lo's tofu curry next week and tell you all about it. Great thing I have a good memory because Anna and Christina tested Tofu on the shopping bags so I will try to go with the tofu they recommended "Soyganic"...now to find it. I wonder if I should go to a health food store. I'll have to research this more.

I just need a few more ideas so I don't have to fall back on the good old egg salad sandwich!
