I typically make three meals a day in my kitchen, so I don&#8217;t usually have a hard time justifying letting someone else wear the chef&#8217;s hat! I&#8217;d planned on having us dine out once this week, so that we could experience the vegetarian side of a menu for once. I also wanted to try <a title=\"teriyaki tofu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/recipes\/daves-teriyaki-tofu\/\" target=\"_self\">tofu<\/a> for the first time tonight. All of these needs were satisfied at P.F. Chang&#8217;s.

Just a quick shot of cooking spray, chopped spinach, red peppers, mushrooms and grape tomatoes, mixed with three egg whites and served with a slice of whole grain toast.

I wasn&#8217;t in the mood for a full lunch today, but knew I needed to eat something if I was going to make it to our late dinner. I had one serving of light havarti cheese with whole grain crackers, a bunch of red grapes and half a sliced apple.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Dinner &#8211; P.F. Chang&#8217;s. We let someone else cook tonight and I gave tofu a try. Tofu will probably not be my favorite take away from this vegetarian week. Our selections from PF Chang&#8217;s vegetarian menu included the vegetarian lettuce wraps (tofu instead of chicken), wok seared mushrooms, Buddha&#8217;s Feast (stir-fry tofu with mixed vegetables) and brown rice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Snacks &#8211; no snack today, but we did share <a title=\"pf changs mini dessert\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/08\/pf-changs-mini-desserts\/\" target=\"_self\">P.F.
