That is awesome, Laura. Good luck on the job interview!

 

It is fine if folks wish to answer the questions onlist; it might

be nice to put something like " questionaire answers " or

something similar in the message title, so folks who aren't

interested can skip or delete those emails if they don't care

to read them. I hope you can get the help you need here so you

can get that job!

Hi, Miriam,

 

You can pull those recipes yourself by visiting the group archives at

Veg-Recipes/messages and searching for " points " or

" WW " or whatever you think will find them.

 

Mastercook 8 (newly released) is available on the web at www.valusoft.com, and

it and older versions are often available in local stores.

Just thought I would chirp in here...

 

I am relatively new to the group, I have been lurking for a couple

of weeks...I live in Yemen, a smallish country that is nestled

around the bottom of Saudi Arabia...I can't find Mastercook here,

but I am STILL looking, so I can share some of my recipes with you

all.

 

I hate to just be getting recipes from you all and not sharing

back...but I AM trying, so I hope to share soon....

Just read your post (I've also emailed you on another matter) after posting my

recipe LOL I

don't miss me*t (sorry, but I don't) but I do sometimes crave the wonderful

sauces I

remember making. I was one of the Julia Children way back when ;-)

 

This tofu bourguigon recipe keeps me happy when I want something 'rich' - and of

course

it could be made less rich. Otherwise, tofu in various chinese dishes works

great for me -

again it's the sauces that appeal - and are great comfort food.

 

But I think you may be experiencing a combination of tiredness, illness (that

IBS doesn't

make anyone feel on top of things, I understand) and boredom with bad food.

Interesting,

isn't it, that one then turns to old familiar things and unless we have been

veggie a long

time (it's been a quarter century for me) or for ever we think 'naturally' of

the very thing

that vegetarians *don't* eat to satisfy what's wrong with us.

 

Wish I could help. Hit the Files, Laura - there have been loads of wonderful

(and yes,

quick) recipes since you were last on this list! Good luck!!!

I have not been a vegetarian anywhere near as long as you have, but

I've found that I crave meat during my period. I think it's because

I'm anemic and my heavy periods don't help my iron level. I double up

on iron pills around that time of the month. Maybe you are just

lacking vitamins, and your body is craving the meats that would

provide them.

[Guest guest]

>Maybe you are just

Vegetables also have vitamins and minerals and come in a much healthier form. It

is a

common misconception (no attempt at puns here!) that one craves me*t because one

is

missing the vitamins and minerals said to be in it. We don't NEED me*t, we need

certain

amino acids that are found in a variety of foods and certain vitamins and

minerals also

found in a variety of foods.

 

Best, Pat

[Guest guest]

I'm not sure what it is. I've never regretted going veggie or ever wanted to

go back to eating meat. But the past few days i've felt like i wanted some

for the first time. I won't give up being veggie because i don't eat meat

for compassionate reasons. To be honest the thought disgusts me as i love

farm animals and am completely against any form of violence. So i'm pretty

annoyed with myself. I think i'm just lacking variety in my diet, getting

fed up with food and lacking in energy to do something about it. But i see

i'm going to have to find some energy from somewhere. I'm proud of being

vegetarian and i want to bring up my children to respect life so maybe if i

think about that i can get some new motivation to try cooking different

things.

 

Pat, your tofu recipe looks lovely. I'm so bad at following recipes

usually. More often than not i take an idea or a technique and adapt it to

what i've got at home. But i'll definitely be trying this one.

 

Chinese is a good idea actually. Its something i don't normally have as

there are so many ready made sauces over here is the UK that taste rubbish!

I've had too many bad sweet n sours. Maybe i'll have to investigate a good

black bean sauce and i always liked lemon sauce. Even better i could try

making some myself.

 

I will have a look at the files. Thanks Pat.

Hi Sylvia,

I think part of that may be right. I do think i'm probably lacking in

vitamins and minerals a bit at the moment but i think it's probably making

me tired which is making me lazy and fed up. That may be my problem. I am

taking vitamin pills in addition to eating quite a few veggies but i still

feel i'm lacking variety. I know i can get everything i need from a veggie

diet but i need to try and eat a wider range of things.

Thanks,

 

Laura x

Just a thought from someone who's been through anemia. Juicing with a

lot of beets

contains very high levels of natural iron, very easy to assimilate,

without any of the consequences

of iron pills.

 

 

As far as cravings? When I became a vegetarian, I never had any

cravings for meat.

I wanted to be a vegetarian since I was a little child, but my parents

would let me till

I moved out. I guess I was ready. I do enjoy

the mock stuff, but don't think of it as a replacement, just something

that tastes good.

I suppose the mock stuff would help. Probably tofu and mushrooms, on a

hot cast

iron pot with lots of garlic would also hit that spot?

 

Now, as a mostly vegan, I do crave pizza. But know it's horrendous for

my arteries

and I personally an issue with the care of dairy.

 

Best of luck,

bob

[Guest guest]

Thanks Bob. The juiced beets sounds like a good suggestion. I do use mock

stuff quite a bit as well. I ended up eating pizza the other night - not

the healthiest thing but it helped and now i feel more able to eat normally.

I got 'satisfaction' thing out of my system. I do have an issue with dairy,

which was why i was vegan for a long while, but i found it too difficult to

maintain. That's no excuse i know but i don't eat as much as many veggies.

Tonight i think i might make chilli. I love veggie chilli!

Laura said, " I ended up eating pizza the other night - not the

I get veggie pizza without cheese. The local pizza place puts on

tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, green peppers. I

sprinkle on garlic powder, little red pepper flakes, and oregano. I

like it that way.

bean/veggie soup & dh can add meat to his own. baked beans & give him a hot dog

to go with it. a big ole salad that he can add meat to.

How about taking a look at this from another viewpoint....why couldn't you

make vegetarian meals, and then cook the meat for hubby as a separate

item? I don't think you are going to have much success in finding

" convertible " recipes, as you will be very limited that way.

 

For example, I like to have a couple of veggies with a grain or a

starch. Let's say I have a lima bean salad, a side of sauteed carrots

w/garlic and cilantro, and a baked potato. Now for hubby, he could have a

steak with this, a pork chop, a ground beef patty, leftover meatloaf,

whatever. He can take it or leave it with the side dishes. This is the

kind of eating we do around here. And needless to say, when I have a

veggie burger, he has his burger, and again, we share the sides.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you - are you looking for casserole-type dishes????

There's always seitan/gluten/wheat'meat' - and there's a product called Quorn

which I

haven't myself tried. The first is from wheat, of course, and the second from a

kind of

laboratory grown fungus. Seitan has been around for over 1000 years; Quorn has

been

eaten in Europe for nearly twenty.

Fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans...no junk, no processed foods, limit

your fat, sugar, and alcohol intake. Walk as often and as far as you can. If

not every day, several days a week. Get yourself a copy of Dr. Fuhrman's book

Eat To Live. While I find him to be a bit extreme, it's loaded with some very

sound advice. You'll think twice before putting anything into your mouth. If

everyone ate according to his recommendations we would no longer be known as

the fattest country in the world. As I said, he is a little extreme, but I

can see where adhering to his regimen would result in major weight loss and

improved health.

Celery, or so I've heard, will help your metabolism. Don't know how much

_Vegetarianism For Youngsters 101_

(http://www.freewebs.com/vegetarianyoungsters101)

 

 

 

[Guest guest]

Well Val, since I became vegan, I finally lost the weight I was hoping to lose

in many years. Wasn't the reason I became a vegan, however the weight loss (more

specifically trimming in desired places) was a nice unexpected bonus.

 

Also the terms " fat " and " vegan " don't seem to really go together! . If you

turn vegan and still don't lose weight, then I figure it's really you, and maybe

you can prove that obesity is really not diet related! However I would be

shocked.

 

Maybe the other component is greed. However again I find most vegans control

their portions (really control what they eat and most importantly, how much). My

metabolism has definitely increased.

 

Another note I should mention however, and this might sound a little strange;

I tend to believe the " gifts " you get (for example weight loss) are related to

the reasons you change. In other words you wouldn't do this for yourself, you

would do this change for ethical reasons. So maybe you should forget everything

I've just said, lol.

 

Anyways, I do believe in that " Karma " aspect or that " way of thinking " aspect

which I tend to believe might affect the body as well. Long story. Anyways,

maybe I'm incorrect about the " reasons " aspect and you just might lose that

weight by simply becoming vegan.

I don't know of any foods that speed up metabolism, but exercising

does and it builds muscle which will help burn more calories too.

That plus eating a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegies of all

kinds should help.
