Thanks for joining the list Casey!!!!

 

We are always into supporting new Vegans!!!! don't worry about the cheating

part ... it can take some time to get used to the diet ..

at first I thought it was pretty hard core ... but now, I am pretty cool

with it ...

 

What's it like in Jersey in-so-far as getting good vegan food?

 

Take care!

I don't know about tofu cheese, but here's a recipe that you can adapt for the

crockpot. It'll probably take 8-10 hours on low or 6 on high.

 

Susan

 

Cajun 15-Bean Soup

 

Recipe By :Susan Voisin

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Beans Fatfree

Soups

20 ounces dried mixed beans

12 cups water

1 large onion -- chopped

14 ounces Gimme Lean Sausage Flavor

I highly advise against the tofurella, to me it tastes like chemicals and it

never melts. I think tofutti cheeses are better in both catagories.

Kath, you might try the new book, Raising Vegan Children in a Non-vegan

World (or something close) by Erin Pavlina.

Here's a link:

http://www.vegfamily.com/bookstore/

full disclosure, I work for her and she's a friend. But objectively, this

is a good book and has a section about transitioning kids of any age to

veg*ism.

Joanne Stepaniak and Melina Vesanto have a veggie kid book out too.

I don't work for them, but I'm a huge fan of Joanne!! hehe

Hi I am new here. I joined because I'm all about easy recipies. Although, I am not vegan. I am a vegetarian and trying to become vegan but I'm finding the transistion to be pretty hard so that's why I'm joining a lot of recipe groups so I can learn how to cook without any animal. Thanks for having me,April

I just want to let you know that Tampa, Florida is not much better. For some

reason, Florida is still kind of back hill and not really growing with the

times. Hopefully, with chats like this you will be able to find the hot spots in

Texas. We are out there!!! Nice to meet you! ~Spring

That's funny. According to PETA FL & TX have 2 of the top 10 Vegetarian

friendly cities. Here's the link to the article.

 

http://www.peta.org/feat/vegcities/crop.html

 

Try living in WI, known as the dairy state. They seem to manage to sneak dairy

into just about everything. Even in the major city of Milwaukee there's only

one Vegetarian restaurant and it's Indian (like you can't find plenty of Vegan

dishes at most Indian restaurants anyway.) Hmm, may have to amend my statement,

I just found 1 other with one of my Vegetarian restaurants links, will have to

check it out. Sounds very limited though, just sandwiches, bakery & smoothies.

 

Here are a couple links to find Vegetarian restaurants in different states.

 

http://www.happycow.net/north_america/usa/index.html

http://www.vegguide.org/location/view.mhtml?location_id=2 & new_query=1

http://www.famousveggie.com/statelist.cfm

http://www.vegdining.com/GetRestList.cfm?rgk=NA-US

http://www.vegetarian-restaurants.net/usa/index.html

 

I must warn you though, some of the websites will list restaurants that are not

strictly Vegetarian but are Vegetarian friendly, sometimes with no way to tell

which is which. I know this because there are a few I've seen listed for

Milwaukee and though they are Vegetarian friendly they also serve fish, chicken,

etc.

 

Take care,

Tammy

Orlando...I would have figured it Miami; however, I knew it wasn't Tampa.

Orlando is a large and very ethicly diverse city as well as Miami. Orlando is

very big for the tourist as well. Orlando must be open to change...Tampa is

still at least 10 years behind. I suppose you do have a point living in the

dairy state. Florida thankfully is still the citrus state though many fancy

themselves cowboys!

 

Thanks for this list! This will help me a lot! ~Spring

If we only eat with other vegans, we won't influence them. The question

then becomes how to influence them.

I still recommend we all read How to Win Friends and Influence People.

When people stopped asking me out to eat

when I would say I don't eat dead animals, I realized that wasn't the

way to go. Showing you can enjoy a vegan meal,

and demonstrating joy and health is I think much more important.

Yeah, I figured Tampa wasn't quite as Veggie friendly as Orlando but I can't

help but think that a state that has at least one city that's very veggie

friendly would be better all over than one that doesn't. It seems if it's

locally available, even if mainly in one city, it'll spread somewhat all over.

Then again, Chicago, IL is quite Veggie friendly and it's only about 1 1/2-2

hours away from Milwaukee, WI but that doesn't seem to have made any difference

here. In fact MN seems pretty Veggie friendly too. So it seems WI is

surrounded but stubborn enough to not let that affect it much. :}

 

You're welcome. :)

 

Take care,

Tammy

new here

 

 

 

Hey all. New here, just thought I'd say " hi " with a little bio.

Eighteen years old, was a vegetarian for three years, and then went

vegan over a year ago. Living in VEGAN HELL (a.k.a. Texas). Feel

free to email me.

well, one part of me says " give it time... " My own

journey was rather gradual... but another part of me

knows it would have been just that much simpler to

skip building up a supply of lacto recipes and go

straight to vegan techniques and recipes. So

honestly, either is a good way to go about it. Don't

beat yourself up if there's a transition period.

 

welcome!

I REALLY want to go dairy-free as well. So,

I agree with Megan though it was quick for some of us I'm sure. I started to eat a little cheese in my diet but not like before. Soy milk and rice cheese do it for me... Spectrum or New Balance for butter.

I found really good dairyless recipies at www.garynull.com

Every part of me says take it slow and learn your diet and how your

body is handling each transition. I've seen too many people clueless

about health and neutrition jump head first into a vegan diet and do

more harm to themselves than good. Then not realizing that the problem

was their own ignorance as concerns health and neutrition, they blame

the vegan diet and lifestyle for their health problems.

 

Another potential problem is that when you transition quickly to a

vegan and/or raw diet, the body will have a tendency to go through a

much harsher detoxing period than if you transition more slowly.

Usually this isn't dangerous for most relatively healthy people, but it

certainly can be dangerous to detox quickly if your body does not

eliminate toxins fast enough.

Hello Corey,

I'm also a new vegetarian (and new to this list). My husband and I stopped eating all meat a couple of months ago, and I'm weaning off dairy. Do you have any recommendations for brands of B12 vegan supplements?

In fact, I recommend that people find a good vegan supplement to take for B-12 needs, if they are not sure they are getting enough B-12 in their diet. Just make sure the capsule linings are vegan.

Thanks Rick! I'll have to try check these out the next time I go

shopping! There seems to be so many things out there, sometimes, I

think new vegetarians really don't know which items to start with.

So, it always helps when you have suggestions from someone who's

actually used the products.

I appreciate the website address also! Thank-you for taking the time

to post! :)

I've never even heard of Hemp seed? This is interesting stuff!
