I live with my folks and I can't say no to them serving me meat. I tell them I'd love to reduce my meat intake and they agree ... only to put meat on everything l the time. When I order or cook alone I try going vegetarian if I can.

What are some good vegetarian inspiring websites/cookbooks that you'd recommend for the next time I'm out grocery shopping?

I used to go veggie before and I found the meat cravings pretty crazy. Do you do impossible or beyond? Or do you stay away from those entirely?

Offer to cook one meal a week for the family, and take it as an opportunity to showcase meat-free meals. If they're dyed-in-the-wool carnivores, you'll have to start with typical meat dishes using substitutes e.g. lasagne made with soya mince.
