What are some good / easy ways to make vegetarian meals?
I'm not vegetarian, but after doing some research I realized that eating less meat and dairy products is actually much better for you. I wish I had some good vegan recipes in hand. Thank you!

Being Vegan and Yeast Free is Hard.
Well, yes obviously the more things you eliminate from your diet the more difficult it is going to be to find foods and recipes that fit your meal plan. However, in the world today, everyone is so worried about their health and there are new diseases "labeled" everyday, it is becoming easier to be vegan and yeast free. There are more and more foods and recipes to fit the lifestyle.
Being vegan means different things to different people. To some it means they do not consume animal food products and to others it means they don't consume or use any product that is derived from an animal and/or tested on animals. Regardless of your vegan "type" everyone is out to achieve the same goal in reducing animal cruelty.
Being yeast free means to remove yeast from your diet. Yeast can cause harmful infections to occur in or on your body. Also yeast is known to increase the symptoms of some diseases and cause day-to-day problems such as memory loss, sluggishness, headaches, and digestion problems.
Combining both of these healthy lifestyle choices can prove to be difficult and require better meal planning, cooking, recipes, time, and money. On the other hand, the healthy benefits of combining these can be dramatic and increase overall life and wellbeing. Things like more energy, weight loss, help get into great shape, and minimize little day to day issues as listed above. So yes being vegan and yeast free can be complicated but the advantages may outweigh the risks.
