From Canidia Strega : " I'm the only veggie in our family of 5 Dinner is suc=

nightmare sometimes. Any advice? "

 

Sure. Never ask me for advice, or you'll get an earful; and that's my best =

 

advice to anyone. *lol* Let's see, here are a few things I do around here t=

o

make my lifestyle fit in more effortlessly. If I am making a casserole with=

 

meat in it for the others, I simply scoop out my portion before adding the =

 

meat, and bake it separately in one of those cute little mini bread loaf pa=

ns.

Works great. Also, my family has adjusted to the fact that ground beef no =

 

longer means we eat a cow; I always use Yves brand ground round in recipes =

 

that call for ground beef OR MSF crumblies. I keep plenty of meat-free

substitute convenience foods on hand as well, like MSF chick patties, Boca =

 

grillers and sausage, MSF meatballs for our bi-weekly spaghetti dinner, etc=

..

Soups are another nice thing to fix where they don't miss the meat, or meat=

 

can be added to their portion after removing mine. Providing a more hearty=

 

veggie-style side dish to their meat entree makes it so I can eat that as m=

y

main course, and they just eat a bit as a go-along with their food. The lis=

t

goes on. I hope this gives you some ideas, and that the recipes I put here =

 

help you some. Good luck!

 

FromÊ " MatriXeno . " : " mmmmmm..How bout some " papas con juevos "

topped with salsa and velveeta bundled in a tortilla. I use to eat this all=

the

time. "

 

I am limited on my espangnol (sp), so could you tell me what " papas " are,

Shawn? Sounds like it might be good, but I think I personally would pass on=

 

the velveeta and use some other real cheese. ;-)

 

" Hi P_T, I belong to a chili group called chilitalk with a few hardcore

Texans.... I put in a request but so far no luck. I'll keep checking the g=

roup

for other posts. "

 

Wow, that is wonderful. Thank you so much, Shawn. With a group like that I =

 

would imagine I might get several to try. Mixing up a few and having a tast=

testing party might be fun, too. *s*

 

" The celebration that you are going to sounds very honorable and brings

back some culture that this country is lacking. Kudos to you all. Do you kn=

what dish you are going to take to your celebration? "

 

LOL. Thanks, though I am not sure how honorable it is as there is a fair

share of pigging out going on, but it is very fun. The people who host the =

 

gathering live way up on a mountain in the middle of the woods; so pretty. =

I

usually opt to bring a huge tossed green salad (lettuce, broccoli, cauliflo=

wer,

spinach, carrots etc). I make up several homemade salad dressings to take

along and, some beans, cheese, croutons, and other things to sprinkle on

top if folks want to. This way I have something there I know I can eat that=

is

safe. Plus eating a lighter entree means I always have room for pumpkin pie=

!

 

FromÊ " kate. " : " don't worry about looking for fresh chipotles, because the=

y

are dried smoked jalapenos. at least that's my understanding. "

 

Really? Way cool! Finding these should be a snap then around here. They

have a nice selection of dried packaged mexican foods in every grocery stor=

e

around. I just never knew how to use them, or anything. This will be fun.

Thanks, Kate.

You are so right, Janice, and by the sounds of your post, they are well car=

Hey Allison, you answered my question to Shawn. Papas are potatoes then,

right? And, also about the chipotles, I will certainly look for the canned=

ones

to try in this BBQ sauce recipe since they sound so much yummier than just =

 

dried. Also, thank you so much for the site list of Thanksgiving ideas. I a=

going to have fun wading through those with my daughter.

Yes they are. When I posted that I love papas con

chiles with my heuvos rancheros, it meant that I love

potatoes pan fried with chili peppers (and onion, a

little tomato and some cilantro)...Mmmm.

You're very welcome. I'm just going to take a few

dishes along to Mother's for Thanksgiving so I know

I'll be able to eat more than just green beans, mashed

potatoes and rolls;)

 

Warmly,

Allison
