Pre-vegetarian jitters

[Guest guest]

Hi Tami,

The more you cook, use leftovers, buy things bulk the easier and less expensive

it will be. Non-vegetarian products are very expensive, I'll bet you spent a

lot at the meat-seafood counters.

Take it day to day, you can find plenty of recipes with not a huge amount of

vegetables in them in the pasta, beans, grains folders. Take a veggie you don't

cvare for and try cooking it different ways.

I'm starting to feel like I'm getting married tomorrow. I've got the

pre-vegetarian jitters!

I just finished grocery shopping for the day. I'll have to go again tomorrow

night for some water and things that the other stores didn't carry. I

believe I'm going to have to find a new store that carries more health foods

 

I cleaned out my kitchen and freezer and gave all my meat products to my son

and his room mates.

Now my house is meat free. (As far as I know. I'm sure there are hidden

ingredients in some of the stuff I have)

Tomorrow is V Day!

Any tips on what to look out for as far as vegetarian bloopers for a newbie?

 

I made sure to get whole grain cereal with vitamin B12, my soy milk has

vitamin D and calcium.

My fruits and veggies are all various colors. My kitchen looks like a

rainbow exploded!

I've got all new kitchen appliances and non stick pans to help the new

cooking style.

I've read a ton of books and bought some too. I've gotten two weeks worth of

recipes from the files section of this group. So all in all it looks like I

am totally prepared.

I have to tell you though, I am wondering what in the world I jumped into.

Grocery shopping was tougher then I expected it would be and I hate shopping

anyway so that just added more stress to it.

My big thing is though that I like meat and am not a big fan of veggies.

What in the world is a woman and man who don't like veggies doing becoming

vegetarians? My hubby is worse then I am. At least I cook veggies in

different ways and try them, hoping that I will like them. But that man just

refuses to try them so I'll have to be sneaky.

Any words of advice for me?

any vegetarian.

I was one of those vegetarians who started w/o liking vegetables. I realized

that cheese makes lots of veggies taste better, and then started using some

sauces and spices. No butter! That was easy, and now I am down to VeggieCheese

(so proud of myself).

Best wishes and let us know if you have any questions. The people here are so

knowledgeable.
