Tired of bland, boring food? Spice up your meals this month with two great recipes from our Vegetarian Nutrition DPG Recipe Contest.

Balsamic Tofu, Cranberry, and Apple Stir-Fry by Marni Rakes, MS is a wonderful recipe that combines several different food groups into one complete dish and adds a little zip with balsamic vinegar as a flavoring agent. |

Spicy Kale Slaw by Alicia Simpson is a deceivingly spicy salad that made a few of our judges’ eyes water. |
Now is the time to try new recipes to spice up your meal routine.
Thanks for posting these Meredith! I’m struggling with vegetarianism right now. I am lacto ovo vegetarian but find many of the recipes bland. I haven’t had ANY meat in 4 months, no burgers in 2 years. I gradually eliminated it and now I’m fully vegetarian. I’m always looking for good recipes! And being Texan I LOVE spicy foods
I’ve been a vegatarian for 3 months and have lost 45 pounds. I steam everything and eat mostly, “eggplant, zucchini, squash, oakra, and some artichoke. But after 3 months the food is getting bland and I’m craving the old junk food again. I was over steaming for 30 minutes and turning everything into mush and now I’m cutting back to about 15 minutes total time so they will be slightly crunchy. But I still need some flavor and spice to enjoy it. Help. 55 more pounds to go.
