Not being a vegetarian, I do not feel restricted by that particular code of ethics, but I do enjoy lots of vegies in my food.

I have been making a not-quite vegetarian chili for years now. I start with a regular chili (with less ground beef) and toss in whatever vegies I have on hand. Works just fine.

Chili as a good one to work with because the beans act as a bit of a substitute for meat. I don't mean as protein, but the satisfied feeling you get from eating meat.

A good meal is about all of your senses being satisfied. Scarfing down a bunch of carrots will never give you the same satisfaction as scarfing down 6 ounces of meat.
