Hi Everyone,

 

I just joined today. Tonight I am taking my first of nine weekly

cooking classes for raw living. I think this is just a next step in

my journey to better health. I worked very hard last year and lost 42

pounds following the South Beach plan. Now I want to eat more vegan,

but not sure if I will go 100% raw.

 

Right now I am on day 7 of a 13 day raw whole food liquid fast. I am

feeling great and have lost 6 of the pounds that I gained since

November. We went out of the country in November and then my sister

stayed visited me from Australia for one mone, plus the holidays, so I

gained back 6 pounds. Now I am back to the weight I was before my trip.

 

I am sure I will have lots of questions, but in the meantime I will

try and read more of the past posts.

 

Sharing is caring,

 

Helen

Where are you in ID? I'm in Hailey. There are raw groups in some areas. I know

Boise has a

group, and there is a great restaurant in Ketchum.

I love chineese food and have several stir fry recipies, but this is my

favorite. It is not the easiers, just the best. Yum,makes my hungry to think

about it.

Oriental Stir Fry vegetables

 

1 oz dried shiitake mushrooms

Boiling water

2 medium yellow onions

3 celery stalks

1 cup fresh green beans

6 green onions

2 Tbs oilve oil

2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root

1 clove garlic, crushed

4 tsp cornstarch

1 cup water

2 ½ Tbs dry sherry

4 tsp soy sauce

2 tsp instant vegetable bouillon

1 can baby corn, drained

 

Place mushrooms in bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand 30 minutes,

Drain. Squeeze out excess water and reserve. Add water to make 1 cup.

Cut mushrooms into thin slices. Peel yellow onion, cut into wedges and

separate layers. Cut celery into ½ in diagonal slices. Wash and trim green

beans. Cut beans into 1 in diagonal slices. Cut green onions into thin

diagonal slices. Heat oil in wok or deep frying pan. Add onions, celery,

beans, ginger and garlic to oil. Stir-fry for 3 minutes.

Measure the cornstarch into small bowl. Blend in a few tablespoons of the

water and mix until smooth. Stir in the remaining water, the sherry, soy sauce

and bouillon. Add to vegetable mixture. Cook and stir until mixture boils.

 

To substitute 2 bouillon cubes for the 2 tsp instant granules, add to reserved

water and mix until dissolved before adding to cornstarch.

 

I hope you like it.

Hello,

 

My name is Mindy. I went vegetarian about 5 months ago and really enjoy it. My

husband

is very supportive, and eats vegetarian every night for dinner with me. I am

always looking

for new recipes to try. Right now I'm looking for some good stir fry recipes. I

have a few

recipes that I will be sharing with everyone in the next few days. So far I

really enjoy the

group. I'm glad to see that if I have a question there is no reason for me not

Everyone seems so friendly and helpful. Well that is all for now.

Hey Megan ~

Good, sloppy game yesterday huh?

 

Welcome to our group.

 

Sounds like you've been following a vegetarian lifestyle for a while now. I

understand about going places and feeling like you're putting the guest out.

Luckily my partner's family has gotten a little (stress that) more thoughtful

when they know we're coming. Either that or we just make sure we aren't

starving when we go so if our option is just salad we're not too hungry.

 

I like cooking too and experimenting with new ingredients and recipes.

 

Yea, could be the ice cream. Everything in moderation remember! :-)

Hey everyone! I just joined your group and finally have found some

time to post a little about myself per the welcome questionnaire.

My name is Megan and I'm a 25 year old Hoosier (Go Colts!). People

call me Megan, Meg, Megs, Meggie Screggie, Leggo my Meggo, Mev,

Mags, Megatron...really anything they can come up with! I love

nicknames, at least those that aren't offensive, so I don't mind the

plethora I hear.

 

I have been vegetarian for almost a year now. I have tried it on

and off throughout my teens and into my 20's, but I'm afraid it;s

not easy for the solitary practitioner...especially one who loves to

socialize and eat! I've had many instances at parties or get-

togethers where I am the cause of consternation for hosts. I

inevitably hear " I'm sure I have SOMETHING you can eat. Let's

see.. " and the rifling begins. While it does leave me hungry at

times, I still appreciate the effort, right? My family tries as

best as they know how to accomodate my diet at family gatherings,

and nothing feels better than to know that they care so much about

your principles to go out of their way to fix up some roasted veggie

and black bean tacos or something.

 

I have found that a veg diet lends itself well to culinary

experimentation and I've found myself in the kitchen more often

these days than ever before. I'm developing a love of cooking now.

So, as I said, I love to eat, but eating does not love my body.

It's harder than I thought to actually lose weight as a healthy

vegetarian. Maintenance is all that's happening right now.

 

Maybe it's the ice cream...

Hi Bonnie and welcome!

 

What type of dogs do you have? Aren't they the greatest companions? We

currently only have one and won't be able to get another for awhile due to space

but that's ok cuz he's a great dog!

 

You've come to the right place to learn about low-fat/calorie recipes and

weight loss! Many of us in the group are actively trying to lose weight one way

or the other. Perhaps once you start getting new recipe ideas you'll give up

meat completely! Just a gentle reminder that although we have non-vegetarians

on the list, we don't discuss any meat related subjects or recipes.

 

Please visit our recipe files for some great ideas and share some of your own

if you have any tried & true favorites!

Hi,

 

Start by reading " The China Study " by Dr. Colin Campbell. As a

science student, you will appreciate the documentation of the studies

he cites to make his point about a plant based diet and human

health. Also read " Diet for a New America " by John Robbins. As you

educate yourself on the issue of diet and health, you won't ever want

to eat any other way!!!

Hi,

 

East Bay, South Bay, North Bay, Peninsula?

I'm in the East Bay (Dublin). We've already

got our tomatoes and peppers in the ground,

along with spinach and various sundry herbs,

oh yeah, also one cantaloupe and a cucumber.

 

Here's what I picked up at the Santa Clara

Master Gardeners' Spring sale and planted:

http://alces2.livejournal.com/78355.html

 

We already had some tomatoes and peppers planted.

Although I have a fair number of herbs in

the ground. You can see the herbs that I've

planted so far this year here:

http://alces2.livejournal.com/77389.html#cutid1

 

Still some more to go.

Hallo Gary, I am just 15+ minutes north of you in Alamo. I garden in

raised beds at home and have a plot at the San Ramon Community

Gardens (Crow Canyon). I don't plant out my tomatoes until the soil

is 55 deg F and chiles when the ground is 60 deg F. Which as they

say when you can comfortably sit bare-bottomed on the soil. LOL

 

I really have cut back the last couple of years as I got tired of

cooking sauces and canning. I have a stock pile so last year-which

was a dismal year for CA gsrdeners I only planted 3 doz reg heirloom

tomatoes, and a dozen cherry tomatoes. I used to grow 100+ heirlooms

each year. I am a tomatomaniac. LOL Ever hear of the list

TomatoMania? () I started it about 6+ years ago.

 

I also grow many chiles and pepers-last year I cut back from 65+ to

only 36 plants. I'll probably grow more Eadstern European peppers

this year as my husband and her DH (who is from the former Yugo) love

them. We are serious chileHeads and I grow ple ty of Thai chiles. I

am by the way the ThaiFood Editor on Bellaonline. I have traveled to

Thailand ( & India and China more than 30 times each) plus others for

a total of 70 countries.

 

I love cooking cuisines of great flavour of various cultures.

 

I am really enjoying the recipes here. Thanks to Lavanda and her

side-kick star. I have " known " Lavanda perhaps 8 or 9 years from

foodie lists.

 

Happy gardening.

Ah, I guess it is too late for me to check this

out since the tomatoes and chiles are already

in the ground. I suppose I could give it a try

nevertheless.

Wow! That is a lot of tomatoes. I would say

the tomatoes did not do as well last year

compared to earlier years. The hot peppers

seemed a bit off also. We shall see what this

year provides. I think the roses did okay in

my yard. Most of the herbs seemed okay, for

the most part.

<<You've certainly toured the world.>>

 

not exactly they call it work LOL You know 60-80 hours a week 7 days

a week, i.e 24/7.

 

Far as joining tomatomania great place to learn all about all sorts

of veggies-growing the best, what to do when you get EB (early

blight) and oh how about a seed bank of over 1500 varieties of herbs,

veggies, flowers, etc.

 

I figure a day that goes by that I don't learn something it is truly

a day wasted. That is the way we raised our kids and now our 3.6

grandkids are expierencing the joys of learning of cultures via

cuisines, and you learn that in the garden for a start.

It is never too late, my mom is 83 and still going strong and is

almost ready to set out some tomatoes, and plant some beans, today it

was wild flowers, she is in Sunnyvale. One bright fiesty lady. It

runs in the family.

Yep, too many that is why I cut back, but the family is enjoying

great sauces.

You have come to the right place. After a couple of recipies from here you will

stop eating that chicken and fish, too. That will ease up the presure on the

food bill. Even eating organic and pure foods, is cheaper than eating meat.

Please check posts from the last few weeks, as there was some good

making your own soymilk, etc. I'm sure you and your family will be

happier and healthier with a more natural, vegetarian diet. There

Hi Everyone!

 

I would like to introduce myself.

I am from Bali.

I am very newbie in Vegetarian.

Now, i just want to know what is the Vegetarian and Vegan?

How to be a Vegetarian?

Hi Linda,

I understand how hard it can be trying to follow a vegetarian diet with a

lot of food restrictions. I have a ton of food allergies and sensitivities,

and gave up on vegetarianism for a few years because it just got too hard to

follow. I'm just starting up again.

I would start out writing out a list of every fruit, veggie, and grain you

can think of. Then go back and cross off the ones you just can't have. Can

you at least have a small helping of the ones on your list? If so, you can

make a separate list with foods you can have occasionally or in small

amounts. I see a lot not mentioned in your email, so you might be surprised

at how much there is out there you can eat.

Then start watching the recipes that come through on this list. Try some new

foods you've never tried before. I am so limited as to what I can eat that

there are some foods, like squash and watermelon, I eat all the time year

round to the point I'd gotten sick of them. But trying things in a variety

of recipes helps break the rut.

Are there any beans you can have at all without all the oxalates? The main

reason I had to quit for a while was I became sensitive to the legume family

and had to cut out all beans but soy. Now I can tolerate them again, but

still only kidney, navy, lima, and peas, and occasionally lentils. Others

like pinto make me really sick. I've never researched to see if certain ones

contain more of something that could be doing it. I just try to rotate the

few I can have for variety.

The first day I'd joined this group, I had already copied a lot of recipes

that looked really good, so I'm sure you'll get a lot of help from

everybody. If you feel you need help with motivation, feel free to email me

off list - I could use all the help I can get sometimes too!

Michelle, Virgiina

Welcome, Dolly! You can definitely find lots of healthy recipes here in

our files!!! In fact, my most recent find from our files is Lily's

Cauliflower with Vinaigrette. I make it every week and use different

veggies. This week I made one batch with cauliflower and another with

golden beets. It's just a good basic. I serve it on my salads. I

prepare the veggies in my vegetable steamer (the same model our Donna

recommends - I love it!), toss with the dressing and let it sit to

absorb the flavors.

 

I love that show! I record it on TiVo and watch every episode. (If you

are in the U.S., it is shown on BBC America.) I considered buying her

cookbook, but I read the reviews on amazon.co.uk and spoke to a British

friend who bought her cookbook and didn't love it. But some of her

recipes sound good to me.

 

Having said that, I pretty much eat the way she recommends and feel

pretty darned good for it. For example, yesterday I ate a green

smoothie for breakfast, and I had some brown rice for lunch (should have

had some veggies with it, but was in a hurry). For dinner I had two

helpings of a Bean Soup with Tempeh and Mango. It's a recipe I got

from my new favorite cookbook: The Hippy Gourmet's Guide to Good Eating

(or something similar). It does have fish recipes, which I ignore. But

the other recipes I've made from there are great.

 

I also made, for my kids, a Veggie Pot Pie with Seitan from

Veganomicon. (My daughter loved it.) And I made an asparagus " salad "

(also from Hippy Gourmet). I serve that over the brown rice, though I

didn't have any myself because it contains some brown sugar, oil and

salt (via soy sauce). Again, I use my steamer to prepare the asparagus

and let it sit and absorb the dressing. Both my kids love it.
