    I´m a vegetarian and sometimes Mexico can be a challenging place for me.  But the times are a-changing here in Mexico with regard to vegetarian food lately, I am happy to report!

    Tofu is becoming more and more available.  Several of the larger supermarkets carry it.  I still can´t seem to master having it come out crispy and flavorful but I keep trying.  Stir fry, yum.

    dscn2628_0046.jpg Broccoli and cheese ravioli were a recent find in a double size at Sam´s.  They freeze well so I package them up for quick meals for me when Paul is having meat for dinner.  I have been
    tossing them lately with fresh tomatoes, onion, and garlic cooked quickly so it still tastes
    fresh.  I need to plant more basil, mine went to seed, so I have been using parsley on
    everything and it is almost as good.

    chata.jpgChata soy chorizo is a favorite for both Paul and me.  Usually I cook onions, red pepper, garlic, and spinach along with the chorizo in kind of a scramble and then garnish with parsley or cilantro and sour cream.  Oh, in a corn tortilla.  Today we made this for lunch and added a cut up potato.  Excellent!  (I have tried other brands, and this is my favorite.  Look for the package that says 100% vegetal)

    Croquettes?  Potato-broccoli-corn or Potato-cheese are the types I´ve tried.  I like to keep these in the freezer for those days when you want something hearty.  They´re good but the calorie count is a bit high.

    Mr. Falafal and Pita Bread – can you believe it?  I can make all kinds of good things out of
    these.  Lately I have made a quick lunch of two pieces of falafal cooked on the comal with
    some onion…stuffed in a pita bread with a whole bunch of parsley and a drizzle of dressing.
