New here!!

[Guest guest]

My friend Lisa & I are on the long hard journey of better health and are

doing our best to seek out information and recipes. I've been meat free

for I want to say 3 weeks now and I truly feel so much better. I'm working

on becoming dairy free but I haven't made the full switch and I'm hoping

this board will help. It's one thing to invent recipes with items you are

familiar with and have been using for years....another to jump in blind with

new items and unfamiliar flavors. I hope to find recipes here that will

give my husband the feeling of " fullness " (for lack of a better word) that

he gets when eating meat - not to be deceitful mind you but to ease him into

at least eating less meat (for now) without freaking him out and making it

such a huge and forced thing. Trying to convince a meat and potato man that

I can live otherwise is an interesting debate to say the least...

 

Thanks in advance to any help you can offer.

Some of the unmeat loafs, made with beans and rice are filling and can be

covered with a sauce so that hubby's eyes and mouth tell him he is eating meat

even if you tell him differently. Portabella mushrooms also have a meaty

texture that pleases a meat and potatoes man.

Then there are all the traditional italiam pasta recipies. If you put chunks

of onion and pepper into your sauce your hubby won't notice that there is no

meat there.

If his eyes and mouth are happy, his is making big steps toward meatless

eating and being far more accepting of different things.

Good Luck. I converted my husband, so I have confidence you can do it, too.
