Hi; I buy little morsels of dark chocolate and there is NO dairy in it; I think most dark chocolates don't have any milk products in it anyway. The bags I buy say "dairy free". I eat way too many of them, by the handfuls; lol. I am a chocolate addict!

I think you are right; that's why the chocolates I buy now say "dairy free" on them; one cannot be too careful if they are a vegan and making conscious choices to avoid dairy!

Hi yes I did hear about that incident it was on the Welsh news, seems he was trying to help, but ended up dead as a result. But these things happen evrywhere, not just over there.Wrong place/wrong time.

I was saddened to read that a person from Wales was in New Jersey visiting with friends, a very good-looking man who was considered one of England's good looking bachelors; he was trying to break up a fight in Margate, NJ at a bar and got stabbed to death.

Dark green, leafy vegetables, such as spinach, chard, and collard greens are

good sources of iron because they tend to be low in calories and are rich in

vitamins and minerals. Aim for five servings a day. Many fruits and vegetables

contain vitamin C, which helps your body absorb iron.

Hi, I am new here. I stopped eating meat on Aug. 6th. It is

something I have always wanted to do. It may be a mid-life

thing...decided I should just do what I want. So, I am a lactose

intolerant vegetarian. My daughter and husband still eat meat but they

have to make it themselves. One thing I am concerned about is my 17

yo daughter - she is slightly anemic. She was going to give blood but

they wouldn't let her. I took her to the Dr. because she has been

tired. They tested her for mono but it showed no current infection.

It showed she was anemic. What foods are high in iron?

 

Thanks!

Woo-hoooooo!!!! HI Pam!!! (see me waving?) Nice to see you here! Glad you

made it. As you might know, I am gluten, meat, soy, dairy, and egg free.

Sugar is a work in progress, as are most fats. As someone on another list said,

when I mentioned being vegan and gluten free (without even knowing the rest!)

" What's left? " LOL! In this group, you see what's left--and it's more than

HI Jennifer and welcome to the group! I think once you get into vegetarian

cooking, you will love it and get more creative and you go along, not to mention

all the great mock meats that are out there now!

I have been a vegetarian now for about 8 months, so I'm still trying to get

there were more choices. I have my favorite chain places to frequent such

start cooking more so I have to learn about that. I've bought a few

are treated on factory farms, but the health benefits are an added plus for

me! Anyway, look forward to the discussions.

I especially love this little buddha thing you have as your email signature. I'm

going to copy it out and send it to a monestary my daughter and I recently

visited. They were very nice and had a buffet table set up. As we approached we

over heard one gentleman saying ' people think you have to be a vegetarian for

some reason!' Oi We decided perhaps we wouldn't go back.

Hi Lori!

You ought to put an ad in the personals! 'Vegetarian seeks same for recipe

swap'. lol Seriously, that would be hard to be so isolated from other veggies.

Lori,

Some health food markets, restaurants, and book stores have a

bulletin board where people post their business cards, etc. Check

these out or start your own group and post a request for Vegetarian

friends. Ask the clerks or mgr. at the health food market if he/she

knows of a group in your area. There are listed vegetarian-organic co-

ops in most cities. Your favorite health food store employees can

point you in that direction.

Hi Lori, Have you heard of Freecycle.org. If you are a member, post a wanted

message asking for vegetarian cookbooks. You may well connect with other

vegetarians that way. I did that a couple years ago and got some nice books and

also made friends with a couple other vegetarians.

Hi Kelly! Welcome to the group. I am also new to the group and have a

husband who feels he needs to eat meat and two grown children who have a times

been vegetarian, but are not now. So I am in the same boat as you as far as

cooking. I find it a bit of an ethical problem.....

Glad you found us.

My name is Kelly, mother to four great kids, and wife to one wonderful

husband, who is very patient with her road to vegetarianism. This is new to me,

but I've never really been a meat eater, so this hasn't been hard for me. DH

and the 3 of the kids are meat eaters. I have one daughter who hates most

fruits and veggies and one who loves most fruits and veggies. Of course I'm not

forcing any of this on them, so I'm still cooking meat for my family, but

trying to have at least one meatless meal per week. I'm hoping that gradually

they will get more accustomed to a these foods.

 

This is my first year without any kids at home, as I home schooled for 11

years and needed a break -- and boy am I enjoying my break. I will probably

home school my 9 year old next year as she is not adjusting well.

 

I collect cookbooks and read them like novels. I went to the library today

and checked out 11 more cookbooks, mostly vegetarian. I'm so excited to get

more great recipes.

years. Now that we have pet goats and I live in a rural area, our

family has all gone vegetarian. Seeing cows playing in a field one day

and the slaughter truck coming the next day just broke our hearts. I

actually cooked new recipes for several weeks before the family

noticed we hand't bought any meat or used any for a long time. I'm

looking for new recipes. I love to cook and bake and do things in the

old fashioned way. I'm looking forward to getting new recipes from the

group.

Thank you

Michelle

Michelle, you have definately come to the right place for the vegetarian

recipies. Many of us gring our own grain for whole grain breads and raise our

own vegetables.

I am glad to meet you, I live in Anchorageand have been vegetarian for about

4 years now. Like you, I love to cook and try new things and to do things the

old fashioned way. I avoid sugar and I don't use much soy.

Sounds challenging! Are your food intolerance tests broken down into

green, yellow and red, or +1, +2 and +3 levels? If you can list what

the intolerences are, we can work around them and make suggestions

better. If you know what levels they are at, you can rotate the least

intolerant foods and avoid the most intolerant foods.

 

I eat mostly fruit, green veggies, beans, nuts and seeds (I know, out

for you) and smaller amounts of starches like rice and potatoes.

 

Sounds like you may have heavy metal toxicity or leaky gut. It may be

that once you have healed your gut by going gluten-free and avoiding

the worst allergens, that you will be able to add some of the others

back in.

Hi Amanda;

 

Welcome to our ranks!

Hi, this intro is long overdue so here goes! I'm Amanda and I live in South

Africa. I've been vegetarian (no eggs and a little dairy) for about 2 years

when a recent food intolerance test showed up that I'm intolerant to 36

foods including gluten, soya, eggs, most nuts and seeds, many veg and most

grains except for corn and rice (and not meat!). I went to see a

nutritionist for advice because after all that and being veg - what's left

to eat?! She advised me to eat some fish in order to get some protein which

I do have occasionally. My family are meat-eaters and so meal-planning is

quite a challenge. I find if I don't tell them the meal is vegetarian then

usually they will eat it except for my youngest daughter who hates anything

green or yellow on her plate! I'm hoping to get some inspiration and recipes

from the group as well as any advice that you can give. This country has

very much a meat-eating population and most restaurants offer only pasta or

a " vegetarian platter " consisting of a large black greasy and soggy

mushroom, creamed spinach (slimy), mashed butternut squash with added sugar

so sickly sweet, some peas (also sweet), a baked potato and that's about it

- boring!! Now that I'm GF, the pasta is out ,so eating out is difficult.

The GF is even less understood in restaurants - the other day I had a salad

that came with bread and since it was a specialist bakery, I asked if they

had gluten-free bread - yes, they assured me - only to find them giving me

rye bread! When I told them this was not gluten-free bread they argued with

me and assured me I can eat it!!

 

Anyway, I don't want to sound negative - it's not all that bad, as I can get

plenty of fresh fruit and veg and just need to be more creative in meal

planning at home also, the GF market is growing and we can get quite a few

different flours, pastas, etc but they are very pricey.

 

I look forward to trying out some of your recipes!

 

Many thanks,

 

Amanda

Hi Amanda, I'm also South African. However, I left your sunny shores

nearly a decade ago for the US.

 

Where about in RSA do you live? I know it is nearly 10 years ago but

I used to frequent some really good restaurants in the North of

Johannesburg that did really good vegetarian food for me. I wasn't

GF then, so I dread to think what a hassle it must be to eat out

there now.

 

My mom tells me that there is a good GF restaurant in Primrose

(Germiston). Not sure if you are near there.

Hi Amanda,

 

I sympathize with your long list. Mine is almost as long but not

quite. I have a little homegrown suggestion to make, strictly from my

own experience. While your system is in such a state of upset, you

might consider going easy on GF flours as well. I cook up a big pot of

good old shortgrain brown rice and have it with breakfast and a

rice/fruit/milk-sub pudding in the afternoon (I can do hazelnut milk)

and some with dinner, etc. For me at least, the GF flours, including

rice flour, are little hard to digest when I " m feeling sensitive. GF

hot cereal seems to be okay. It may be the fact that the flours are not

boiled before being baked! Hooray for fruits and vegetables. And

black beans. And squash.

 

Good luck to you. It's possible. And some would say, even healthier.

Nancy

Amanda,

 

Your comment about South African's being big meat eaters made me smile. My

husband is South African; I'm American. When I went to meet his family, we

had some funny cultural exchanges over the right amount of meat to eat. I

was flirting with vegetarianism at the time, so you can imagine the stark

contrast between my little to no meat habits and his family habits. They

seemed to consider chicken a vegetable.

 

I'm also new the gluten free world and have multiple food allergies; this

group has helped me out a lot.

 

Best Wishes.

 

 

Margaret
