Mushroom Burger
Vegan Mushroom Bean Burger
The Spruce
While the veggie burger concept may not seem revolutionary, lots of us overlook mushrooms as a hearty burger base. Make your own at home by combining mushrooms like button or baby bellas with pinto beans, green onion, garlic, spices, and egg replacer to hold it together. They won't crumble when baked or grilled, and taste great with your favorite toppings.
Egg White Frittata Recipe
Plenty of vegetables, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings make this light and easy egg white frittata satisfying and delicious! You might think that it would be bland with just egg whites, but even without the yolks, the frittata is fluffy and flavorful. Plus, it is easy to adapt it with your favorite vegetables and seasonings.
As far as the ingredients go, a frittata is similar to an omelet, but there are a few differences. The frittata, which can serve several people, is partially cooked on the stovetop and finished in the oven. An omelet, typically designed for one or two people, is cooked only on the stovetop.

How to Poach Eggs
You may make our tasty egg white frittata with fresh or store-bought liquid egg whites. The egg mixture includes Parmesan cheese, green onions, diced bell pepper, spinach, and sliced grape tomatoes, along with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. You can swap out the Parmesan with some yellow cheddar for extra color or use Gruyere, Swiss, or another kind of cheese. See the variations below the recipe for a few more combinations.
This egg white frittata goes exceptionally well with marinara sauce or prepared pizza sauce, or give it that extra pizzazz with a garnish of tomato salsa, sour cream, or sliced avocados. An egg white frittata makes an excellent breakfast, brunch, or lunch dish!
Rather than giving up meat-based recipes entirely, try cutting back on the amount of meat. For recipes that call for ground or chopped meats, like casseroles, soups, stews, stir-frys and salads, use half the amount of meat as the recipe calls for. If you feel like you need to make up for the missing protein, or just the missing bulk, you can try replacing the meat with tofu, plant-based meat, or simply add more vegetables. Grains, pastas and potatoes will help, but you might not be looking to add tons of carbs to your diet to make up for the missing meat. Instead, try adding broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, and other cruciferous vegetables. Not only are they nutritious, they'll also help you feel full.
Take this ground beef and cabbage casserole, for example. It calls for 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef. Try cutting that back to 1/2 to 3/4 pounds. To make up the missing volume, you could simply use more cabbage, or try adding broccoli, cauliflower, kale, mushrooms, or even cooked legumes like lentils or chickpeas.
Likewise, this grilled chicken salad calls for two chicken breasts for four portions. Chicken breasts can be pretty large, and with all the other ingredients this salad features, you could easily get away with using just one breast.
