Guest guest Report post Posted May 30, 2000 Hi Tracy! Welcome to the list! As for the tofu, everybody says that it's delicious when marinated in things like soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, so perhaps try that. Marinate it in soy sauce and throw into a stir fry, perhaps. Yes, there are some varieties of vegan cheeses, but be careful when picking one because some say " lactose free " on them but do in fact contain at least one dairy product. This is all I have to offer at the moment. :-) ~Emmy~ ______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted May 30, 2000 - nikita nikita4animals Monday, May 29, 2000 10:36 PM newbie Hello,I have become a vegetarian in the last few months andI have a couple of questions for you more experiencedvegetarians if you don't mind. :)First of all, I really want to be able to try (andLIKE) tofu. I remember trying it YEARS ago andthinking it wasn't very tasty at all, I guess becausetofu hasn't much taste to it, lol. Anyway, I am goingto try it again as soon as I go to the supermarketagain, so my question is this... Do any of you haveany suggestions for my first time trying it. Maybe arecipe with tofu that is really good r any type oftips for cooking it, etc.And also, I am trying to go Vegan but I really likecheese alot. Isn't there some kind of "artificial"cheeses out there, and if so what are they called, andare they stored with the regular cheese in stores?? Ihaven't been able to find out any info on this.Thank you soooooooooo much in advance for any info,tips, or suggestions you may have! :)Tracy=====My Cats Page... >^..^<http://www.angelfire.com/sc2/tracy"For as long as men massacre animals, theywill kill each other.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 31, 2000 I joined the list a couple of weeks ago but haven't posted. I'm married to a meat eater, have a son who is a meat eater and who is picky, have a daughter with PKU who has to eat a very low protein vegetarian diet and have another daughter who is a strict vegan. It gets complicated, let me tell you! I tried to be a vegetarian a couple of times in the last few years but I didn't stick with it. This time I'm eating low fat vegan and plan to keep with it forever because of how much better I feel and because of all the reading I'm doing about the meat/milk/egg industry. Anyway, what I wanted to say is that in some weird way, I'm almost grateful that I have to fix different meals for myself since my husband and son eat meat (my daughters mostly cook for themselves). It gives me a chance to try a lot of things that I'm quite positive wouldn't appeal to the guys and that I find quite wonderful. If I were trying to cater to everyone's appetite at once I'd be more limited in what I could cook. This way, though it is more time consuming, I'm having a lot of fun trying new things. And every now and then the guys will take a taste. And occasionally they even like it Priss In a message dated 5/31/00 12:19:58 AM Eastern Daylight Time, juliejulz writes: > I just joined this list.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 31, 2000 Hi Julie, I am new also. My 11 yr. old son is a meat eater so I know the feeling of trying to plan multiple meals. He really wants to be a vegetarian but he HATES all veggies (except greenbeans). Anyway, I will keep working on him, lol. Welcome to the list!!!

Guest guest Report post Posted June 13, 2000 The ONLY way I will eat tofu is stirfried with vegtables in Chinese food--and that's hard to find in rural Ohio *lol*. Just make sure you eat plenty of vegetables and good stuff. Drink a lot of water, and your body will adjust before you know it. " Vegetarian Times " is my favourite magazine, and they have a book out for beginners, I can't remember off the top of my head what it's called though. Good luck and remember you're making the best choice for yourself, animals, and the planet!!

Guest guest Report post Posted February 28, 2001 Hello, I am from Chesterville, Ontario, Canada. I am ovo,lacto some of the time, vegan some of the time and eat meat some of the time. I'm wishy washy I guess. My husband is a dairy farmer and loves his meat and taters. I get tired of cooking 2 meals all the time so I eat whatever I have cooked for the family. My family does like beans, however and I am hoping to find some quick recipes that have cooked beans in them. I use canned most of the time just for convenience, but all kinds of them. Anyway, nice to be here and I am looking forward to the recipes. Heather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted June 12, 2001 I can't wait to try your ginger tip! Thanks and welcome to the group! Jenny M., Moderator - Elizabeth Cooper Tuesday, June 12, 2001 8:12 AM newbie Hello from Springfield Missouri and it is hot and humid outside!!! I love to use my crockpot for the convenience. My name is Elizabeth and I am age 57 almost and I do a lot of cooking, baking you name it. My favorite thing to cook in the crockpot is BEANS!!! Always put in l/2 teaspoon of ginger and the problem with gas is virtually gone, and you don't taste the ginger either. I also add other vegetables like chopped onion, green pepper, garlic, carrots, celery, fresh tomatoes, etc. It is a taste to behold. I am married for 36 years, 2 grown daughters and 3 grandchildren. I look forward to hearing from all of you. Elizabeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted January 15, 2002 One thing I do for salads to make preperation easier is to chop up everything ahead of time. I get a huge tupperwear container and when I bring home lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, whatever, I chop it all up and put it in the container. Don't put the tomatoes in there because they get kind of yucky. It won't be totally prepared for you but it will cut down on prep time. If you like raw broccoli, I've cut that up too and put it in my salads along with bell peppers, cheese, bacos, crutons, sesame seeds, raw mushrooms, green onions, just about anything. I like salads with lots of yummy things so making them can be a chore for me unless I do this. Rachael - barbramcfa Tuesday, January 15, 2002 11:12 AM Newbie Hi, I have been planning on writing but have been so very busy in addition to suffering from ongoing neck, back and feet pain. My daughter and I have just eliminated pork and beef from our diets as of 1/1/02. I hope to be meat free by the end of the year. I just don't think it will work if I try to go cold turkey. It will be quite a challenge for me because I have hypertension, a heart condition and an allergy to msg. Trying to eliminate or greatly reduce sodium, fat, and msg from my diet leaves a lot of work to be done. When I visit the health food aisles, I find that a lot of the vegetarian items are high in sodium. I guess this is to enhance the flavor. I will probably have to make everything from scratch, which I do a lot of anyway. I love trying new recipes. I have some vegetarian cookbooks, but the recipes call for "so many" ingredients that one could go broke LOL. I will probably be asking for a lot of assistance from the group until I get the swing of this. Just the idea of no "Chicken" which I love, is oh, nevermind. Is there anyway to do this and not loose the flavor. I can handle eliminating fish, beef and pork, but the chicken is the problem. It has such variety, fried, baked, barbecued, casseroles. I have never cared to eat fruit and salads, it's not that I don't like them, it's the preparation, availability, and cost. I am open to suggestions.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 18, 2002 Welcome, mephaestos. Sounds like you have a good idea with your pita sandwich. You'll find lots of ideas here. Have you looked into a vegetarian group on campus? I live in a college town and I know that the vegetarians on campus have a group that get together. They bring a dish, discuss healthy diet and exchange resouce ideas. I understand they have a grand time. Maybe you could start such a group ? Just an idea. jane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
