How I converted people coworkers to vegetarianism Chanda

[Guest guest]

Yah, hubby is accepting 6 days a week vegeterian meals. You are slowing

converting then whether you know it or not. He has no idea he is crossing the

line towards us now. LOL

Hey, how about your son? That's great news. Don't push them and you will get

good results!

thanks Donna,

I have agreed that I will make them chicken once a week. Ihate the thought of

it, but it's the only way to keep peace with hubby. I did agree to chicken OR

fish rather. I think this may be good because I think my refusal to make him any

meat of any kind was making him rebellious.

my 17 going on 18 year old asked me if we could have tacos this weekend, he

said, " it doesn't have to be with ground beef ma, you can use those refried

things you used for the football dip "

 

YAY!!!! now that is a step inthe right direction.

I am gonna make some black bean quesadillas tonight. I am going to create the

recipe myself because I don't like what I have seen on line and I detest

cilantro.

 

hugs,

Chanda

Re: How I converted people coworkers to

vegetarianism

 

 

Well, one ate with me everyday and would sample my lunch, one came down with

Aids and wanted to clean up his diet and really feels good now considering his

health problems, one had high blood pressure and out of control cholesterol, one

was so broke I gave her lunch everyday and packed her doggy bags for dinner for

3 months, one found out she was allergic to milk, 3 were just fascinated and

always wanted to become vegetarians but never knew there was anything to eat but

salads so I gave them tons of recipes and guided them along and you know what

they are all vegetarians to this day. One was a Hispanic woman and I helped her

convert her recipes into vegetarian dishes, you know enchiladas, refried beans,

tamales with no lard and vegetarian filling,etc. There's been more coworker

converts and a few fell off the wagon but these I mentioned above really stick

out in my mind. One converted her family and one converted her kids but not

ther husband and one converted her roommate.

It's like a branch on a tree, isn't it? The best thing I suggest is always

offer something tasty and never push them. They will come around. My sister

and her husband lived on meat and now they are vegetarians too.

My brother-in-law was the worst. I took them with me to a vegetarian dinner

with a group of 60 and he made so many rude remarks, I had to kick his damn leg

under the table and my sister was skrinking, he finally shut up and now can you

imagine this guy being a vegetarian now for 4 yrs. Have you any idea what I

would hear from him as he waved his steak in my face for all those

years........LOL

Chanda, just remember it won't happen overnight but the good thing is, your

family tried your food and that's a big step in the right direction. I think

your daughter will join you one day soon, she's very close to you and admires

and love her you so much, watch and see.

Hugs,

Donna

Re: Halloween in my office hahahaha and converts

 

 

Can you believe he's a convert? He gave me such a hard time when I first

started. He would say, oh no not a vegetarian not one of those. He would wave

his cheeseburgers in my face. He tells me with each bite of tofu he takes he

praises me now and he has never felt better, hr calls me his. His favorite food

is hummus and PT's Persian rice & lentils posted in our files, I got him hooked

on Chanda and Lawanna's greens right now. I made him a big pan of Chanda's

pineapple stuffing 6 months ago, he loves it and now makes it all the time.

I've given him other recipes too from our files to try.

Hey, I better get him to join our group, huh?

dressed as me, Donna

He's got on a shirt that states " I'm A Vegetarian " and an auburn wig, big

silver hoops, oranges stuffed in a bra under the T-shirt, and a name badge with

the name Donna and a bag of vegetables in one hand and of course he's got on

Levi 501's...........LOL

It's actually an honor, maybe the other coworkers will think about this. He

is one of my converts, he's been a vegetarian now for one year and loving it.
