Guest guest Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I understand. I am eating as a vegetarian and my husband and daughter do not exclusively. I stopped eating meat right away and have not found it difficult. I do find it cheaper to eat dishes of beans and rice than eating meat so I actually have started buying as much organic products as possible. It all evens out. All meals including fresh ingredients seem to take more time. I've found that having peppers and even onions prechopped and frozen in 1/2 c portions helps as well as precooking my beans in a pressure cooker and freezing 2 c portions (approx. 1 can). I hate tofu too and don't much care for fake meats but I love beans and rice. I would Highly recommend Rachael Ray's vegetarian meals (I didn't see too much tofu in there). Also if you have a pressure cooker that really helps cook the beans faster and you can make whole meals in them. Lorna Sass has a good book called Vegetarian cooking under pressure. I will say it has taken me a while and a lot of planning and looking for recipes (This group's files and the library is a great resource) but I am so glad I spent the time doing this. It is sooo worthwhile. I feel better (and am helping my families health) and know I am helping the environment by not eating meat. Good luck and enjoy the adventure.
