Hello!

[Guest guest]

Dorm food? Pizza bagels or pizza nachos! Or did you want healthy food?

Jo

[Guest guest]

Pizza always works... pizza nachos... hmmm... but

yeah, I'll need healthy food too. One tires

quickly of cafeteria pasta (yuck!) Any ideas?

Carrie, I am hoping your email gets many responses. I have a 20 yeaer old

daughter in college. She too is a vegetarian. Infact she is very close to

vegan. Almost every evening I get an e-mail that says " Mom, what can I make

for dinner? " I am running out of ideas so I am hoping this gives us both

some new ideas.

This is an old standby for when I get home late and don't

feel like cooking.

 

rice

frozen veggies (canned ok too, but not as tasty)

canned or cooked beans (or tofu, or veggie dogs......)

herbs and spices to flavour it up a bit

 

1. Microwave rice (put 1 c. brown rice and a bit of oil and

salt into a microwavable bowl, add just under 2 c. of

boiling water, cook on high power 12 minutes and 50% power

for 15 minutes).

2. While rice is cooking thaw about 1 - 2 cups of frozen

veggies

3. When rice is done, add the veggies, beans, herbs'n spices

 

4. Microwave 1 few minutes more, until everything is heated

through.

 

notes: can be done on the stove top; add some cheese if you

want (parmesan and feta work well); herbs and spices can be

classic italin (basil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder), curry

powder, mediterranean (cumin, mint), asian (garlic, ginger

and soy).

 

You can also use pasta, millet, bulghur etc.... instead of

rice. (stuff like millet, bulghur and couscous are much

faster to cook too)

 

When I was in school, I used to make a big batch of cooked

rice every few days, and just add veggies, beans, tofu,

etc... to portions of it and then toss it all in the

microwave.

 

Have fun!

Welcome,

Enjoy your time at college. Take along a med size crockpot, they are

great for so much. all kinds of stews and soups that can be cooking while

you are in class. Anyleftovers can be used next day over rice, noodles,

pasta, potatoes, ramen noodles (be healthy - throw away the nasty packets of

seasoning included).

Good luck, " Mom "

NJ does indeed = New Jersey. Not finding many vegans around here, but then I live in a really isolated -- almost completely residential -- area.

Don't know very many vegans myself, but this () is a good place to start

Hi Sandra,

 

That was hard for me also... my older daughter just couldn't stomach some of

the things that we learned about, so that made it easier! I once had a

dinner party and one of the guests asked why I don't use white sugar, and I

told her about the bone char and the bleach, and she kept wandering around

all night saying, " bleach?! You mean like laundry bleach? I can't believe

we've been eating that! " It was funny.

 

I really like Simply Vegan and the Fit for Life cookbooks. I recently bought

The Soy of Cooking (although the friend I was with really gave me a hard

time because of course this is a take-off on the title " The Joy of Cooking " ,

long considered the bible of cooking), and I LOVE these recipes! Also, you

can substitute plain soy milk for a lot for the dairy, although your white

sauce won't look so white.... rice milk doesn't cook up to make a cook

sauce, but it's great for baking. I haven't found a soy cheese that the kids

like without casein, so we compromise, combining Soya Kaas (which they like,

but not the non-fat kind) with rice cheeses to kind of " dilute " it...

 

Enjoy.

Karen

Hello!

 

 

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this group and haven't been a vegetarian long and am working on

becoming vegan. I'm married to a meat-eater and we have a few problems with

how we are raising our, two year old, son, when it comes to food. I'm

working harder on getting dairy and eggs out of our house because both my

son and I are lactose intolerant and I have high colesteral. I'm sick of all

the vegertarian cook books replaceing meat with dairy! I read about, calcium

chloride, that is sold in hardware stores to absorb dampness out of

basements. The lable says " Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe

in dust. " This is in a lot of cheese! I can't believe the things companys

think are okay for us to ingest!I hope to learn and share a lot in this

group and look forward to getting to know everyone.

Sandra

Thanks for the help and advise Karen,

What is Soya Kaas. I am new to vegetarianism (10months). I don't know what

alot of the things are, that are alturnatives, or where to find them. I have

drank soy milk most of my life because I am lactose intolerant, except my

mother had stuff that didn't taste the greatest. I'm only twenty, so I

haven't been experementing long, just since moving from my mothers, with

other kinds. My son loves them all! Which is wonderful. Does anyone have any

suggestions? I don't understand the cheese thing. What is the point of

companies making soy or rice cheeses if they still have casein in them?

Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Thanks again,

Sandra

Soy Kaas is soy cheese & it is very good tasting, but it does contain casein.

I used to eat it, but am avoiding the kind with casein now, too. The only

vegan brands of soy cheese that I have found are Vegan Gourmet by Follow your

Heart (the company that makes Vegenaise), and Vegan Rella. They are both

fine in cooking, but I wouldn't eat either one plain.

Hi Sandra,

Do you have a health food store in your area? That's pretty much the only

place you'll find meat/cheese alternatives. Some large grocers carry them,

but they may be vegetarian and not vegan (i.e., have cheese or egg in them)

so you have to read the label. Of course you have to read the label at the

hfs, too.

Something to keep in mind, though, is that all the fake meats and cheeses

are highly processed, and may contain unhealthy ingredients (carageenan,

partially hyderogenated oils, etc.) so they're aren't all that good for you

in large doses.

If you are tired of soymilk or can't find one you like, try Rice Dream.

It's even found in many grocery stores that otherwise don't have anything

remotely healthy on the shelves.

As for putting casein in fake cheese, it doesn't defeat the purpose if

you're lactose intolerant, or if you just want to cut your cholesterol or

eat more soy or less dairy. Casein has a very crucial role toward making

something " cheesy " and without it, as I've found, most vegan cheeses taste

gross! I've only found two kinds of vegan cheeses in my area, Toffuti -

which is full of unhealthy ingredients - and VeganSlices, which are yucky.

If you are lactose intolerant but not vegan, you can eat the more tasty fake

cheeses.

Warm welcome, Liz. I am PT aka feral, the sole vegetarian

in my household, too. One of the reasons I

began this list was to provide a friendly

atmosphere for vegetarian support. Also for

recipe exchange with others like myself. It certainly

has been a learning experience and I have gotten

some very good advice and ideas from others.

 

All of the tried and true recipes that have been

shared here are stored in our files. Do check them out.

Some of the recipes are " quick to prepare " while others

are more geared for the days when we can fuss a bit

more. All of them are delicious and vegetarian, if not

vegan... something for everyone. I hope you will enjoy

your stay.

hi Liz you can never go wrong with making tacos using lawrys taco

seasoning or the homemade recipe in the index and a ground meat

substitute or textured soy protein cook according to directions

enjoy stay cool Dave

Hi Liz,

 

Welcome to the group. I'm a vegetarian and my husband is a meat-

eater, so meals at our house are pretty interesting. My staples are

chick peas, pre-chopped raw veggies, bagged salad, pita bread and

tortilla fixins.

 

Is your family still waiting for you to " come to your senses " ??

Actually, I've found that the selection is BETTER at stores that only sell

kosher foods. I was totally blown away when I got to the local kosher
