Move over meat. Eggplant has taken the stage. As a long-time vegetarian, I am always looking for plant-based alternatives that mimic the same meaty, savory texture that meat provides. While I love the usual suspects: lentils, beans, and tofu, my favorite meat substitutes are actually vegetables: mushrooms and eggplant! Whether you are a vegetarian or an everyday omnivore, swapping in vegetables instead of meat is a great way to increase your fiber intake. If you still need convincing, it’s important to know that vegetable choices are cholesterol free and tend to be lower in both calories and fat.
