Question Ivy

[Guest guest]

Just joining this group has been and exploration....I figure I will have to

introduce vegetarian recipes a little at a time for all of us to get use to

cooking without meat all of the time. I for one am not quite ready to give it

up cold turkey....lol. I have never been a big bean eater....didn't get many

as a kid....dh on the other hand loves them and so does our grandson so it would

just be a matter of me getting to like them and I think it would just be a

matter of finding the right way to cook them that I would like. Our grandson

has never been a big red meat eater ....he likes all kinds of beans...don't know

where he gets those taste buds....can't be from my side of the family. Anyways

I have found several recipes here that I want to try and am going to try some of

the bean recipes. I have recently been looking at the different squashes that

we have in the store this time of the year and trying some of them. My dh

brought home a couple of butternut squash last week and I baked them with a bit

of brown sugar and they tasted really good. Squash is another think that I had

not had a lot of as a kid so this is a new avenue for me. Tofu sounds like it

will be another thing that I will have to try to really see if I like it or for

that fact anyone in this family will like. I think it will just be a matter of

finding the right combination of other foods with it before I jump in feet

first.

 

Thanks for you encouragement

Question Ivy

 

 

I suggest you give it a try. It will pick up the

flavor of whatever you are cooking. I eat it right out

of the package with nothing on it, it doesn't really

taste.

You don't know until you give it a try.

I try everything. I shop in ethnic stores and have no

idea what the veg is. I take it home and if it looks

like I can steam it I do, or I braise in a skillet or

toss in a soup. I've always been pleasantly

surprised.

Come on venture out there and explore.

So keep on playing those mind games together

Doing the ritual dance in the sun

Millions of mind guerrillas

Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel

Keep on playing those mind games together

Raising the spirit of peace and love.

There are so many wonderful foods out there. You will be retraining your taste

buds as you embark on the vegetarian lifestyle. If you don't like something

prepared one way, give it a try in another recipe. Some things you enjoy right

off the bat and other things you just keep trying different ways, because you

know it is so healthy and good for you.

 

I used to not like brussel sprouts, but kept trying them, because they were so

low in calories, good anti cancer fighter, and super healthy. Now I LOVE them.

 

Here's to lots of fun trying many new things to round out your appetite and

greatly increase your chances of good health.
