Welcome, Nancy!

 

Congratulations on your weightloss, your lifestyle, your daughter's marriage,

your health regime, your new empty-nester status - not necessarily in that

order. And oh yes, on your youth! ;=) This is all quite breathtaking. What a

wonderful adversement for the healthy lifestyle inspired by a vegetarian diet

(not sure how your daughter's marriage comes into this, but I'll work on it

*lol*

). I'm so pleased for you. I'm sure you will have lots of tips to pass on to

other

members.

 

Well, that said, welcome to the group!! I hope you enjoy it here - we are an

informal kinda lot - no standing on ceremony - and we like to chat about all

things to do with our vegetarian diet and lifestyle, which covers quite a bit

sometimes ;=) Please check out our Files section for recipes - even the ones

that contain prohibited foods for you might be adaptable? And we would like

to have some of your recipes too, of course.

 

For the record, I am Pat, co-moderator of this group (with Paula, from whom

you will hear later), and my dh and I have been veggie for around twenty

years or so. We travel quite a bit, so we find that tooooo strict a diet is one

we

fall off easily, but generally we are very careful at home with what we eat.

Most of the recipes I post to the list are vegan, usually specified in the

heading. Even those that are not (unless it calls for an omelet, maybe :=) like

one I posted this morning!) can usually be adapted. Here we have vegans,

ovo-lacto vegetarians, budding vegetarians, 'pesco- or pollo-vegetarians', and

also those who just enjoy good food.

 

so post often and have a good time!

 

Best,

Pat :=)

go when i started testing the waters and found out how much better i feel

without meat and dairy. also not radical about it but do haev a special love for

animals - especially my two-four-legged-kids, Hezekiah the cat and Jasper Joy

the dog. Hezekiah is 17 almost 18 and Jasper is 12. They are my wonderful

That's cool... same here about not being " radical " ;

even though I do get pretty vocal about stuff with

my family members at times.

I know I feel better about myself knowing I don't

eat the animals that I love so much. I don't know

if animals can tell if you are a vegetarian, but they

sure do tend to like me... so maybe they sense a

gentleness; that or we just smell better. I am sure

vegetarianism wouldn't greatly impress mountain

lions or bears, so I am still careful out walking in the

woods. :)

Welcome to the list!

Hi Jeff! I find it fascinating how we can all come from such DIFFERENT paths,

and end up in the same places sometimes. I am transitioning (not there yet)

to a vegan diet for ethical/compassionate reasons, but from a Christian

viewpoint. There are also very strong health reasons I'm making the switch. Last

year, I received a VERY strong impression that I would not survive long if I

continued to abuse my body with SAD foods. It just came to me one day--and I

don't

question my impressions when I receive them! I sympathize with you on the

peeing cat thing--our 15yo dog leaves us little " presents " , too! :) But we love

her! You're a single guy, and I'm a mom of eight, but we're both here in this

group to fellowship and learn, which is kind of neat. Welcome! Marilyn

Hi Jeff,

 

Its good to meet you. I think we have quite a lot in common. I'm 23, vegan,

into PETA and also I'm pagan. I hesitate to call myself a wiccan or witch

because i'm pretty new to it all and still learning but have been very

interested in it for the past year. I must go now because i have loads to do

but i'm sure you'll enjoy it here. Loads of lovely people!

 

Take care,

 

Laura

Hi Jeff - i just wanted to say I wish I could get my husband to watch Meet your

meat -

I have actually never seen it - i just can't bring myself to do it, but since i

am already

a vegan for ethical reasons - i guess i don't need more convincing ;) But I am

married

to a big time carnivore who is against PETA - thinks they are just a group of

fanatics

and won't let me discuss anything that comes from PETA with him - dismisses it

as

propaganda. Maybe i can play it while he sleeps and some of it may sink in? ;)

 

That is too bad about your dad - i hope he is ok (and will consider giving up

meat to save

his heart???) I wonder what it will take for my parents to see how unhealthy the

way they

eat is!!! I try to show them the health facts about meat and dairy and they

listen, but

disregard it. I guess sometimes the stomach is more powerful than the mind

and heart.

 

Nice to meet you,

INTRO

 

 

 

I'd like to intruduce myself...

My name is Jeff, and I am 21 years old. I first went vegetarian on

7-25-04, and was vegan within 1 week of that. I saw PETA's " Meet your

Meat " , and that was the end of my medium-rare dead carcass dinners.

I have not deliberately eatten a piece of meat since that date (some

beans I had a resteraunt had pork and I didn't realize it untill I had

eaten several motuhfuls. It didn't stay down!)

 

For the year prior to that, I struggled with the idea of being

vegetarian. I'm a Wiccan Witch, my religion has a rule - " An it harm

none, do what ye will " (Do whatever you want, so long as you cause no

harm). Duh, stop killing animals! I don't know why it took me a year

to finally grasp that idea, but at least I got it.

I am still stunned by the garbage I used to eat.

 

I am vegan for ethical reasons. I do care about my body, but that's

not why I'm vegan.

LOL, my father, who nearly fell down laughing at me for being vegan

last I saw him, recently had a major heart attack. Yeah, so I'm the

crazy one, ok.

 

Well, thank you for inviting me to your group. As soon as I can, I'll

get that recipe for my vegan chocolate cheese cake that even had dairy

eaters doing that " oooh, it's Sooooo goooood " moan, LOL!

 

Blessed Be,

Merry Meet!

 

=)

[Raw Food] intro

 

 

 

 

 

I guess I should have introduced myself before I started jumping

into the discussion. (manners! manners!) :)

 

I'm Mike. 25. Cleveland, OH. about 50% raw (weak, I know ;0)). I

just draw the line at my apartment door. Everything inside is raw,

everything outside is at least vegetarian (vegan most of the

time...)...that about sums it up. OH, I almost forgot, my

girlfriend and I just made our " pilgrimage " to Juliano's Raw

restaurant in Santa Monica, CA last fall. (!). I'm not into guru

worship or anything, but it's the only real raw restaurant I knew

about...though there is a little cafe out here in OH that I haven't

been to yet. Anyway, it was pretty good, but damn expensive. His

menu was interesting though. Literally about half of it was his

little philosophy on life, and there were lots of interesting little

tidbits on it. Does anyone use his RAW book? That was the first

one I bought, and now I have about 3 others that I work from. Does

anyone know much about Rainbow Green by Gabriel Cousens? Any

opinions on it? That's my newest book, and I'm not sure how I feel

about it yet. anyway...looking forward to sharing recipies...

 

Peace,

Mike

Hi, Michael,

Welcome aboard. I went to a Gabriel Cousins seminar once and it was a little

too heady for me. I haven't read his book though. I'm fairly new also.

Bye for Now

I use the term " high " raw and live foods. I find that I don't need to define the

percentage to others especially those who really don't understand.

Hi Mike,

 

I have Juliano's book though I don't make anything out of it except for

the guacamole on p. 88 (I make it so often, I have the page number

committed to memory!) It is the most wonderful guac I've ever tried,

though next time I make it, I'm going to try it without the olive oil.

After all, avocados have plenty of fat in them already. I am reading

Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live at the recommendation of someone on this

list (thanks to whomever that was...it's a great book...very

informative on why we should eat mostly fresh veggies and fruit).

Anyway, he advocates using little to no refined oils, even

cold-pressed, stating that we get enough healthy fat from vegetables,

avocados, nuts and seeds.

Yeah, I think I've made that one a couple times. Have you tried

manitok wild yet? I just made " Nutty Dreams " ...OH my God! It's

amazing...actually I modified it a little bit because it wasn't thick

enough to roll into balls...the almond butter I used was a little

liquidy. I still ended up making it into a kind of pie cause it was

so sticky. But anyway, I highly recommend it...even though the

ingredients are a bit on the pricey side. I figure about $20-30 to

fill a 9-in pie plate. Also, his flaxseed crackers are great too.

Oh, and his meatloaf...and the cheeseburger....actually there are lots

of great tasting recipies in there. anyway...again I'd highly

recommend a lot of the recipies in that book. Any other good books

you know about?

 

Peace,

Mike

Hiya!

 

I'm also new here --- who else is out there??

 

My husband and I are both vegetarians. I was raised this way, but Atif was raised by a meat-obsessed family and proclaimed at the tender age of 3 that he would no longer eat meat and fish. Growing up in an Arab country -- he was somewhat of a unique child for this -- but he is stubborn enough that now at age 32 -- he is still meat and fish free! :D

 

In any case -- we are both working full time and Atif's idea of cooking a meal is a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich! ;) So we are in great need of some fast and easy vegetarian recipes!! Anyone interested in some Middle Eastern recipes?? I'm full of them! ;) I'd love some great fast and easy Indian recipes if anyone has any. Is it possible for Indian food to be easy?? Atif and I are both huge fans of Indian foods!! What are your typical foods on a daily basis?? Our is mostly Middle Eastern dishes as this is what we are mostly used to ... but I'd love to hear what others from different ethnicities typically eat on a daily basis.

Not too shabby indeed. The shelters sound interesting. Do you have any hand

written plans or pictures of the homemade shelters. And if you don't mind

I'd be interested in about how much it costs. Feel free to email me offlist

if you'd rather inform me that way (if you decide to share that is).

 

I enjoy cooking, particularly ethnic foods. Hey, anyone have a

Ethnic foods here too. Oh anyone, I'd welcome a hot and sour soup recipe as

well. Love the soups.

 

Do you have a particular ethnic food that you prefer over others?

Is it pretty easy to use and does the soymilk taste better than store

bought? I'm sure in the long run it must save a load of money.

For a carton of soy milk it's nearly $4. Ooh but for the first time I've

discovered one of my stores carries a generic brand for half the cost.

Chocolate and vanilla. Haha, very happy. I'm going to get that from now on.

Always pleased to have people interested in the vegetarian way. You'll find

lots of experienced vegetarians to help you if you need advice, and of course

there are good recipes in the Files section on our webpage.

Naturally an animal lover! my husband and I have two beagles and their cat

who thinks he's a dog.

 

Enjoy the list - we'll chat later.

 

Best, Pat
