Find Vegetarian Holiday Recipes with Wireless Internet

If you are a vegetarian, the holidays are likely a difficult time for you, depending on your family situation. When you head to Tampa to spend time with your family, dealing with nosy relatives who are critical of your eating habits can range from the mildly annoying to the downright maddening, depending on their approach and relentlessness. Perhaps you are simply questioned on why you are not touching the Christmas ham. Maybe your mother will start digging into you about something she read on wireless Internet that said animal proteins are the only complete kind. Or maybe a grumpy uncle who is on his third glass of eggnog wants to start a debate with you about how human beings were meant to eat animals. Maybe, if you are lucky, a few cousins will show a genuine curiosity in your dietary choices, and want to hear more about your lifestyle and how it works. But regardless of your individual family situation, you passing on the meat portion of the evening is likely to become a topic of discussion.

One way to try to turn this into a positive situation rather than one where you feel attacked is by making sure that there is going to be enough for you to eat there. While most holiday meals involve vegetables and grains, you might be surprised to find out that animal products are hidden in different items on the menu. That stuffing might be made with chicken broth; the bean casserole might include beef-based mushroom soup. If you do not eat dairy or eggs, then this just increases the problem. You sitting there with a scoop of steamed Brussels sprouts on your plate is definitely going to invite some criticisms about the supposed restrictiveness of your diet.

So if you have plans to eat somewhere other than your own home, consider calling up as early as you can to discuss your dietary issues. Make sure to emphasize that you are not expecting her to bend over backwards for you: you realize that there will be turkey, and that most people like their mashed potatoes with dairy in it. But by letting the cook know your dietary restrictions, you may give him or her an opportunity to replace chicken broth with vegetable broth in a few recipes. And you will know beforehand what you can eat, so that you do not have to open yourself up for attack by inquiring in front of the guests.

You can also offer to bring a dish to share with the whole group. If you have wireless Internet access, you can find hundreds upon hundreds of recipes that might appeal to a holiday eating crowd. By showing the other guests that vegetarian food can be tasty and need not be tofu and sprouts, you might be opening up their minds. Who knows, maybe if they like it enough, they will ask you to pass them the recipe via wireless Internet. Or perhaps they will look up other vegetarian recipes on their own with their 4G phones. A vegetarian can only dream, right?
