New Here...and wanted to say hello!

[Guest guest]

I wanted to introduce myself to all of you. My name is Carol, I'm 45

years old, married, and a SAHM. I found this site when I was looking

for a recipe. I love cooking in my crockpots (I have 5 of them!),

and I am a vegetarian, living in house full of carnivores!!

 

OK..here's the truth. I stopped eating meat exactly a year ago. I

had to. It was literally making me sick! Every time I ate meat (and

I mean just a small portion), I would get sick. My stomach would

cramp up...and you can guess the rest. My doctors had tried for

years to treat me for ulcers, IBS, and other digestive ailments. We

all thought that it was the spices or the fried foods that were

causing me to be sick. So, last January, I took it upon myself to

figure out what was wrong. I deleted meat from my diet for a 2 week

period...and never went back! I can now eat all foods...hot and

spicy, fried, whatever...as long as I don't eat any meat!

 

I have a VERY understanding and supportive husband. I still cook

meat for him and our daughter...and anyone who comes to visit. But I

make something else for myself. Normally, my husband tries whatever

I'm having...and ends up asking me to make it again!! He'll never

give up eating meat...but he loves my " side dishes " .

 

Anyway...that's my story. Now...I'm going searching for recipes!

Happy New Year to all of you!
