Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I understand the thing about mayonnaise...was a Kraft fanatic for decades (well, it's true!).....but now I'm a Vegenaise convert. It is wonderful - look for the grape seed oil vegenaise at your health food store. Be sure to look in the refrigerated section. Is there a reason you are having frozen meals when you're at home all day? Just wondering if that's really your preference....it doesn't take much time to steam some fresh veggies and cook a cup or so of rice or warm up some beans. Salads are even easier than that - I go through a huge container of an organic lettuce mix from Sam's every 4 days or so. I keep thinking one of these days I'll wake up and the whites of my eyes will be green!!! Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 welcome to the group Sylvia, you will get some great ideas from some nice folks here. I would like to recommend veganaise to you. I tried it because everyone raved about it, and now I use it all the time because it is just so darned good! It taste's better than mayo if you can believe that, it is just so good and half the fat of mayo, and no cholesterol! hugs, Chanda - sgsivley Sunday, August 13, 2006 4:45 PM Newbie here Hello Everyone, My name is Sylvia and after 8 years of slowly straying away from being a Lacto-Ovo I have decided to get back into this healthy lifestyle and have gone strictly vegetarian now. I have had two family members die of cancer and I realized that I needed to take my life and my health back into my own hands. I am also on a low-fat diet because I am obese. I supplement my daily fat intake with Hemp Seed Oil. One of the things I miss most is my mayonnaise. Anyone have a good recipe to share? I am home alone all day and prefer to use flash frozen foods that are quick and aimpe and tend to be drawn to Amy's Foods. I bought and tried their California Veggie Burgers this week and really enjoyed it. But when it came time to spread on the mayo for some moisture I thought, " Hummm...that's a no-no now so what in the world can I use? " Then I thought of hummus and it was great. Threw on a little onion and had a nice " hamburger. " Here is a recipe I found on the net for a really good hummus: 2 C Chickpeas 1/4 C lemon juice 3-4 large cloves roasted garlic 1/2 t ground cumin 1/2 t coriander 1/2 t black pepper 1/4 t cayenne pepper salt to taste enough veggie broth to make right consistency Process all in food proccesor and puree till smooth I am also looking for a tried and true really good homemade veggie stock. I sort of know how to begin but need a little reminder. For the time being I am using " Better that Bouillon Vegetable Base. " It is really good but rather expensive. Do any of you have a recipe for a vegetable base?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 You can get organic lettuce mix at Sam's? Last time I looked I couldn't find anything. It may be a regional thing or maybe they are just getting " on board " so to speak. Will try tomorrow. I'll be over that way. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 They have all kinds of organic produce( a lot of it is the Paul Newman brand of produce) and canned products. Some organic cereals, juices and coffee too. Judy - Reed Deborah Monday, August 14, 2006 11:28 AM Re: Newbie here You can get organic lettuce mix at Sam's?

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Funny all our tastes are different. Last time at my whole foods they were all out of theoriginal flavor, so got the grapeseed oil. I don't like that asmuch as the original, but it is still good. there is another flavor of veganaise also, I haven't tried it yet, forget what it is. hugs, Chanda - BJ Sunday, August 13, 2006 10:53 PM Re: Newbie here I understand the thing about mayonnaise...was a Kraft fanatic for decades (well, it's true!).....but now I'm a Vegenaise convert.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 well Chanda I was glad for your recommendation about the grapeseed one, because I too am a salt aholic and if this was to salty for you, I'm sure it would of been for me too. I instead got the one that was the orginal flavor. I might get a small jar of it sometime though, just in case the batch your jar came from accidently had to much salt in it. Grape seed oil is so good for you, I hope it was a one time accident. Did you call the company and let them know. Sometimes they can track it down and for quality control purposes and find out what happened.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hi Marcia, welcome to the garden! I also had a gastric bypass and found (-painfully) that meat, chicken, fish, etc were rental food so I continued with my lacto-ovo vegetarian way. Getting the husband person to eat other than green beans and corn. Hmm...what does he like, generally? Mexican, Oriental, Euro, USA standard cooking? I know the group files have a wealth of recipes you could try that he'd actually like. On the tofu subject. It took several recipes from the group to get me to actually eat it but my husband person Does Not Like It. Period. Protein and gastric bypass patients. IMO and I can back it up with many sources but am too lazy right now, if you cannot get adequate protein in by your diet, you need to supplement with protein shakes. There are soy based ones (which my stomach turns into enough gas to run half the cars in the world) and whey based ones. E-mail me offline if you want more info. Right now my protein levels (and iron levels, and hemaglobin) are in the toilet because I've been ill. You Do NOT want to let your body get to the point where you are protein deficient, need iron infusions and blood transfusions. Trust me. Please. Okies, nagging over. Welcome to the group!

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi, My mom lives in Florida, and we visit her sometimes (at least once a year) and we'd love to have some folks we could meet up with, too when we're there if we had time. She's in Palm Harbor - across the Bay from Tampa if that helps. Starting a group sounds good. Have you tried looking to see if there was something already going (meetup.com and are some other places to check, too). Missie On Jan 30, 2008 3:07 PM, Cassie <cassarey wrote: > Hi Everyone!

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 We are located in Lakeland which is in the middle of Orlando and Tampa. I can get to either place on I-4 in about thirty minutes. I believe we are about two hours from Daytona. I have met very few people here that are vegetarians and none with children.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Cassie, We are in the same boat over here in the Daytona area. I've been here for a year now and have found a couple of adult vegetarians, no kids. I wish badly that I could find some. However, you are sitting on a potential gold mine that you don't realize! There is a Central Florida Vegetarian Group in Orlando! You should join that. They hold meetings and events and you are close enough to attend, it's too far for me. Although I did go to the Vegetarian Festival in October. But you would certainly meet some other vegetarians there. Check it out here: http://www.vegcf.org They also have a meetup.com group. This may be your answer to finding others! Believe me, if I lived only 30 minutes from Orlando I'd be at the meetings mingling with other vegetarians. There is also a Tampa Bay vegetarian group! You can find that here: http://www.tampabayvegetarians.org Join one or both... you will meet other vegetarians! Jacqueline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
