Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hi Susie, you sound like a very energetic person. Nice having you with us. What's growing in your garden now? I have a huge area of pansies I rescued from the drugstore. They were outside on a rack and almost dead. I talked to the store manager and he said, take as many as you want, I'm going to trash them since we forgot to water them. These things are giant and not one looks the same, so many colors. Looking forward to your posts and let us know if you have any recipe requests or questions. Donna (it's pouring rain right now) susie <snowwhite2165 wrote: good morning all...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Ew gross. That stuff is so gross. It's no wonder they don't like that. I am a hard core vegetarian and my bf is a carnivore some of the ways that I get meat out of his mind and feed him healthy stuff like beans is do twists on his old favourites. For example we both love Mexican, so refried beans are a great way to dress it up for nachos, fajitas, taco's, etc. My mom also makes a spegetti sauce using fake ground-beef which is pretty good. I also put chickpeas in salad's and either chick peas or kidney beans in a stew. Just get creative if they see you are working really hard they will have to be at least a little supportive which gives you more time to look up more recipes. Try picking up a vegetarian cook book too (I recomend Betty Croker.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Welcome, Sue. If you will go to the main page of the group, click on files, click on recipes, you will have all sorts of great foods to make!! Marilyn Daub mcdaub Vanceburg, KY My Cats Knead Me!! - Sue Wednesday, August 09, 2006 10:42 AM newbie Hi, I'm Sue and just joined the group...thanks! We are slowly converting to vegetarian meals with 2 or 3 each week for supper. It is a slow process since meat has been a big part of our lives thus far. I am hoping to incorportate some of your great recipes into our menus! Sue -- " After the verb 'To Love,' 'To Help', is the most beautfiul verb in the world.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hi, April from Pa. I am Sue from Ga. My husband and I are not completely vegetarians yet, but we are working on it. And ours is mainly for health reasons, although when we walk the dogs in the morning, we go past the pasture with the cows. Uh...we talk to them everyday. It would be pretty hard to eat a burger or a steak since we moved to here. Welcome to the group. sue ---- April 08/17/06 23:15:41 Newbie Hello everyone. I just joined the group in hopes of getting more information about the vegetarian lifestyle. Also I am looking forward to learning about vegetarian cooking, mainly for health reasons. My fiancee and I are not vegetarian, but I am trying to incorporate vegetarian meals in our diet. We do have a few good friends that are either vegetarian or vegan. Thanks in advance for all the great recipes I will be trying. I already have a vegetarian recipe that I will be making on Sun for my coworkers. Maybe this will lead to a new lifestyle for us.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Sue, Thanks for the welcome. Glad to hear I am not the only one who is not completely a vegetarian. We have a lot of farms around our house, so I also talk to the cows, and other farm animals. I esp love talking to my ducks. We have quite a few families of ducks that come into our yard for some food and a rest. They all eventually get named. I thought I was the only one who talks to the animals. My neighbors think I am nuts. April , " Sue " <kup wrote: > > Hi, April from Pa. I am Sue from Ga. My husband and I are not completely > vegetarians yet, but we are working on it.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Welcome! The files section of this group has some excellent recipes. My favorite is cashew " cheese " and I think its found under nut pate or some thing like that. It was originally posted by Tommie (jerusy), which should help you narrow it down to the right one. It is super easy, super fast, and tastes yummy! Another place that I visit often for ideas is Judy's blog www.mawintheraw.blogspot.com Her recipes tend to be a bit more complex, but tasty.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hi Gymmie >I'm new! I'm Gymmie and I'm from Texas (yes I know...I know! LOL!) Welcome! I have to ask - what's it like being vegan in Texas? I'm sure the view we generally get of Texas in the UK is a bit warped, but it always seems like the sort of place where vegetables aren't generally considered food... so, I'm intrigued as to whether our long distance perspective is anywhere close to reality?

It looked cool. i did a myspace for myself, but I only have one friend, Tom and he looks annoying. I haven't found a good picture of myself to put up and the graphics are too much sometimes, and it seems like the people there are too cool for me. ok enough of me complainign. welcome. , Mikeygirl9915 <mikeygrl9915 wrote: > > Hi everyone! > > I'm new!
