Hello

[Guest guest]

Here's one I like a lot. I've adjusted it to my exact taste & so can

you. I would start out with less oil, I don't like it as oily as the recipe

makes it.

Peanut Sauce

1/3 C. each chunky peanut butter & 1/6 c. teriyaki (soy) sauce

1/4 C. each lemon juice & vegetable oil

1 t. ground ginger

1 t. sweet basil

2 t. each onion powder & garlic powder

1/4 - 1/3 t. crushed red pepper

Combine everything in blender or processor until smooth and pour over

pasta (or whatever).

LOL, I understand that. Have you tried Stir Fry's yet? I make a real simple one with Zucchini, onions, soy sauce and a little thickener and toasted sesame seeds. I add a little garlic sometimes too. Some pepper. My hubby isn't going to eat a lot of the replacements that some people can get by with. I make a mean baked spaghetti and have a few pasta dishes for main courses. I make a real simple salad with lettuce, tomato and cucumber chopped very small and then adding some salt and pepper and lemon juice. This is real good in the Summer. I use alot of appetizer kind of things like broccoli with garlic cheese and mushroom soup a dash of hot sauce if you like and serve it with crackers (whole wheat or other). I know for me when I think of vegetarian I think of eating salads all the time or a plate of green beans and carrots etc. You have to get past that. Many times dinner for us will be some cheese cubes, cut up veggies and fruit and a crusty bread. Or we do yogurt with granola and fruit. I like casseroles and pastas for the family too. We are just veggies and not vegan. Beans and rice make a hearty meal ... speaking of which ... does anyone have a good recipe with a southwestern flair for beans and rice? We do tortilla chips and salsa with rice and a guacamole salad. Or a bean/cheese burrito with rice and a salad. Here's a simple pasta you can try.

8 oz uncooked rigatoni pasta tubes with ridges

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 large carrot finely chopped (1 cup)

1 garlic clove minced

1 can 15 ou. Progresso cannellini beans drained and rinsed

1 14.5 can diced tomatoes undrained

1 tbl. chopped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon salt

Dash of pepper

 

Cook pasta until desired doneness

meanwhile heat oil in med. saucepan until hot. Add onion, carrot and garlic, cook 5 or 6 minutes until tender. Stir occ. Add all remaining ingred except pasta. Reduce heat and cook until thoroughly heated. Serve over pasta. Enjoy! Robin

Dear Donna,

We are so glad you found us. IF you have any questions please just post

them and one of us will try our best to get back to you. This is a large

but quiet group. LaDonna does most of the posting for recipes ( Thank you

Welcome, Donna. I'm so glad you have joined us here. Please feel free to share

recipes, ideas, and questions. I have a friend who achieved great success with

her MS by following the diet you described. In fact, she felt so good she

decided it was time to have a baby and now has a darling little 2 year old

daughter! Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi Vonda- For quick recipes you really came to a yummy place - just

check out the past posts... think that every recipe is more appealing

to your boyfriends diet LOL! He is lucky to have you looking out for

him :-) Cheers, David PS. Matrixeno - Students tend to toss their

computers in the trash after mum and dad by them a new one. This year

at least they have donation places set up near the UO campus for

furnish my whole house this way in no time) and he picked it for 35.

but couldn't use it. I also got an old mac (freebie) but it has too

much stuff on it... good for offline work. I love recycling whenever

possible!

Hi Dan. Welcome to the feral.

Personally, I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, though

I may use some dairy in cooking, I don't ever drink milk.

I just never tolerated it well, and don't enjoy the taste.

When I drink it is either water, or sometimes iced tea.

I know there are many reports out there available that would

make even a milk-lover say yuck. Vegan members will likely tell

you to you should quit drinking it right now, and they may very

well be correct. My advice to you is to read all you can on the

subject, then follow your gut and do what is best for you.

Hi Nanette! I'm a new vegetarian too...one thing I've tried so far is taking frozen grapes to work. By the time lunch time rolls around, they are starting to thaw and are slushy and yummy.

I'll often just eat 3 pieces of fruit and a whole wheat roll.

 

If you have access to an electric teapot or microwave, you can bring

dried vegetarian soups (some very good one's out there " black beans

and rice " " vegetarian chilli " etc.) These can be somewhat pricey

however ($1.50 --- sometimes 99 Cents on sale). You can mix your own

if you live near a store that sells bulk " soup " mixes and dried

veggies. Most bean spreads and nut spreads will easily keep for a

half a day without refrigeration. As will jellies and jams. If you

like cold foods or hot foods you may want to invest in a thermos. (Or

an insulated lunch-box---but personally have never used one of these

so don't know how well they work.)

Welcome Nanette,

A good thing to do is check the archives on this list. A while back we had a conversation about quick sandwich ideas. I'm sorry I don't remember what month that was. One of my favorite quick sandwiches is: pita bread, hummus, tomatoes, avacodos. You could also add cheese and sprouts. Very filling! Of course with the avacodos you'd want to add them just before eating because they brown if sat out.

Also www.vegetariantimes.com has a GREAT archive of the recipies from their magazine. Plus they have super links to recipe sites.

Good luck!

Hi Debbie: There is a lot of information at http://www.geocities.com/conniesunday/veg.html particularly the "Links" section.

 

Giving up cheese is a challenge for a lot of new vegetarians. There are some cheesees which do not have rennet in them (rennet is a substance taken from the stomach of baby cows), but I don't know if they're available in your area. Sometimes you have to do the right thing and be noble - and it will pay off with better health for you, also.

 

Mostly we have to de-propogandize ourselves from the food pyramid notion that we are taught as children, with way too much protein as a base. My understanding is that broccoli, for example, has more protein than milk. I don't know if that's true. The program designed by John McDougal is a good resource; you'll find a section on McDougal on the page I mentioned.

The high protein intake is due to the gastric bypass that I had done.....although I feel better when I have had only fresh greens and beans or hm pasta....I am not sure that I am getting in the amount of protein that I am told to have daily.....the surgeon said that it doesn't matter what else I eat for the day just to make sure I get that amount of protein....one of the reasons is it takes longer to break down the protein in the stomach so I would stay full longer...and that may be the main reason for it...so that I don't "graze" all the time and can put myself on a meal time schedule......I am not sure what to tell him....I feel better when I am not on a meal time schedule...and just eat when I am hungry.....but I know I don't eat the right foods to get my proteins in.....

And hello to you too, Debbie, and welcome to the group ;=)

 

Sheesh, dunno what to say about your doc and his dictum about all that

protein. Surely no one can comfortably digest that much protein in one

day? Have you also consulted a dietition about how to do that *and* keep

your weight down?

 

Do I understand that by 'protein' your doc means animal protein? If so,

you have quite a problem there. However, a dietition should be able to

work things out for you. Trouble is, so many of them figure you ought to

be eating, well, the things that vegetarians *don't* eat.

 

But hey, if you want people to talk about their weight and how they want

to lose it as well as their recipes, then you've come to the right

place. This is a new year, and we are all intending like mad to *do*

something about our health (well, aren't we?;+))

 

I'm going to put my mind to your problem - and I hope some of the

members who might have professional training will do likewise - and get

back to you. Meanwhile, all good wishes for your wonderful aim at losing

that weight and getting yourself to a healthy body. That's absolutely

fabulous! You've gone this far, so it's got to work, right???

 

Best love - and keep in touch,

 

Pat

Quinoa is a grain that's high protein, pulses are good & low fat.

Hi all,

 

My name is Debbie and I am 35 years old....going through a bad divorce and a foster type mom to my nieces 10 and 11......I live in Alaska and have been here all my life.....I am extremely overweight and have take some drastic measures to loose it....(surgery) had to for my health.....and I am finding that it only helped a little and now need to try getting healthier as opposed to trying to loose weight....I know that if I just get myself healthy then I will loose what ever I need to loose.....

 

I don't like the way I was feeling when I would have a meat with my meal and am trying to make the changes....I have several questions about this changing and would love any advice there is out there to help....I don't get on the computer every day ...but do try to check things out 2-3 times a week.....I would also love any web sites for help as well....

 

I guess I will jump right in with questions.....I am trying to make the transition away from meat and meat byproducts.....the one thing that I have found that I miss is cheese......other than that there is nothing else that I am missing.....I am supposed to eat 70-90 grams of protein a day and I am finding it hard to meat that....are there foods that are higher in protein that I can be eating more of....?....I love fresh salad and I make my own pasta.....I DO love to cook and bake as well......I have collected a lot of recipes over the years and was wondering how I would convert them...?..what Items I can use in place of the meat.....?

 

I guess that is for now....I don't want to over do it on the questions.....thanks for any help...

> Quinoa is a grain that's high protein

 

It's a wonderful grain! We use it a lot. One-quarter cup of dry quinoa

is good for 7 grams of protein (and 170 calories, if that's how you

count stuff). One-quarter cup of dry brown rice will give you 3 or 4

grams, depending on the kind. If you don't know about quinoa, give it a

try - lovely fluffy grains when cooked, lovely but subtle taste. I put

it in soups and stews when rice is called for and use it instead of rice

in everything except curry meals.

 

Haven't checked out the protein links yet . . .

 

Thanks ;=)

 

Best,

Pat

>And hello to you too, Debbie, and welcome to the group ;=)

 

Thank You

 

> Surely no one can comfortably digest that much protein in oneday?

 

When I was eating the way they wanted me to I was having to drink my vegetables and fruit just to be able to eat all the protein.....

 

>Have you also consulted a dietition about how to do that *and* keepyour weight down?

She is the one who put me on liquid vegetables and fruit juice....in order for me to be able to use the small amount of stomach I had left for the protein....we did not worry about the grains...mostly I did not eat them ....

 

>Do I understand that by 'protein' your doc means animal protein?

 

No...I do not have to eat animal protein....but the proteins from the grains are not the right kind...I never thought about asking "Why they are not...."I have now put that on my question list....

 

>But hey, if you want people to talk about their weight and how they wantto lose it as well as their recipes, then you've come to the rightplace. This is a new year, and we are all intending like mad to *do*something about our health (well, aren't we?;+))

 

Then I AM at the right place....I have another 100 pounds to loose....50 to loose before they do the peliculectomy (sp) ...the tummy tuck thing....

>I'm going to put my mind to your problem - and I hope some of themembers who might have professional training will do likewise - and getback to you. Meanwhile, all good wishes for your wonderful aim at losingthat weight and getting yourself to a healthy body. That's absolutelyfabulous! You've gone this far, so it's got to work, right???Thank You....I do appreciate it a lot....
