Guest guest Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 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?

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 One thing that I found makes cooked veggies a little tastier is a light sprinkling of some Parmesan cheese (if you are not opposed to it). We are still lacto-ovos and some of my vegetarian recipes call for it. Maybe this will help your hubby to learn to eat more veggies? Good luck!!
