Top Picks - This Week's Most Popular Features  from your Vegetarian Guide
If you haven't checked out the recipes and resources available at the About.com Guide to Vegetarian Cuisine lately, check here to see what you've been missing! Here's this week's most requested features:

1) Jambalaya Recipe
Jambalaya is a spicy southern rice dish with tomatoes and veggies. This recipe is Creole style, which means that the rice is simmered in tomato paste, rather than just water. Although this recipe calls for zuchinni and okra, the veggies that you use are really up to you. Eggplant, mushrooms or yellow squash would also work great. This recipe cooks up a generous amount, so plan on having leftovers!

2) Top 7 Vegetarian Foods to Try
These picks have been selected for their versatility and convenience in vegetarian cooking, not to mention their fabulous taste. If you're a new vegetarian or vegan, be sure to try these if you haven't already. After all, exploring new tastes, textures and flavors is half the fun of going vegetarian! Look for these foods at natural foods stores and well-stocked grocery stores.

3) Tofu Scramble Recipe
Tofu scramble is a popular vegan breakfast dish similar to scrambled eggs. Although this recipe calls for onions and green peppers, try adding some mock meat crumbles such as Morningstar Farms sausage crumbles, or experiment with different vegetable combinations, such as spinach, mushrooms and green onions. The possibilities for tofu scramble are endless! Wrap in a warmed flour tortilla with a bit of salsa for a breakfast burrito or top with soy or dairy cheese.
