My wife and I have been married for 10 years now. WOW. For the last 5 she has been a vegetarian. She is a very healthy eater, lots of fruits, vegetables and legumes. I do much of the cooking in the house and I quickly realized that most meals are vegetarian, outside of the giant hunk of meat people put in the center of the plate. I've gotten really good at making lentils, beans, tofu, egg dishes, greens, salads, couscous etc.

Cooking vegetarian makes you a better cook in general. I do miss being able to use pan drippings and other animal fats when cooking my greens though. But it's all good.
