It's All About Flavor: Vegetarian Food vs. Meat & McCormick Seasonings

When starting out and on the road to being a vegetarian it really is all about the flavor and not losing that. My husband is one of the hardest people to get to eat a meal without meat but I have successfully accomplished that! Start out small. One great way is to buy the McCormick Grill Mates Seasoning. You can buy it to flavor steaks, chicken, or hamburgers. Try Getting the Boca Burgers in the "Flame Grilled Style" (You can pretty much pick this up from any Wal-Mart store.) Throw them on your skillet with a little oil and season both sides with the Hamburger seasoning you purchased and cook until done. Last few minutes of cooking, add your cheese to melt on top. Mike, my husband actually ate it and liked it with no complaints! The idea is that these seasoning don't have any meat, they are just herbs that people are used to cooking with for different meats. Therefore, you are just adding some of the familiar flavors that people really desire. Face it, Meat really doesn't taste all that great if it isn't in any way seasoned. It's just a yucky dead animal. Something to think about!
