Please share your recipe for oatmeal patties.

I am limited in what I eat now as am allergic

to soy, dairy & egg whites.

Hi Laura..

Am not sure who this is directed too since I am running off to work

and can't read all the posts yet. (love this group by the way)... If

you check over past posts you will see my own grain burger recipe

which is basically oats, rice, and whatever you desire (good with

lentils, nuts, etc.) All of my past guests including meat eaters love

the baked burgers... they compliment any meal and will save you $$

besides your health...

I am glad for the comments about soy by the way. I lived by soy

fields when back east in VA and support the industry. I think that

the negative press is coming from the beef and dairy advocates. The

guy who put out soy scares in our local alternative press is a big

beef eater even though he runs a massage and healing center. When I

was saying that I felt the material was a " tad " overstated it was

very tongue-n-cheek! I think you all are right but still think that

balance is key. I think that a serving of bean product is better with

a larger portion of grains and easier on the bod. I remember eating

bean burritoes with my 5 brothers and whew - did we smell up the room

later! We could run a bus on all the natural gass!! :>) David

Here in FL it looks like the rain is letting up and it should be a beautiful

day.

I cooked portabella mushrooms last night and they were great. I cooked them in

olive oil, Kraft peppercorn ranch salad dressing, roasted garlic (comes in a

small jar in Publix in our area) and a little soy sauce. Cook them until they

are barely done, don't overcook. The produce guy in our local Publix sometimes

makes them and gives out samples, so you can thank him for this idea.

I also tried a new recipe with filo. I have decided that if any recipie has

filo, it will not be quick. It wasn't even that great either. Oh well

Thanks JC. It was a rough one yesterday emotionally for me, and physically

as well. I woke with one of those aweful headache and upset stomach bugs

that is going around the area. I sipped ginger ale and munched a few whole

wheat crackers...watched those 9/11 shows. Some were uplifting and some

were just so sad. Good to remember for healing I guess. You keep looking up,

too and thanks for being a sunny member here. Namaste.

Bright blessing upon America and peace for the whole world.

Hi everyone,

i've been having some problems and haven't been able to post

here for a while but i'm back now. Thought i'd tell you what

happened to me the other day and the reason i'm posting now and not

at work!

i'm off work with a bad back and neck after I had a car crash on

saturday night... well, i didn't, the taxi driver did!

I was travelling home from a fancy dress party, as Madonna in her

desperately seeking susan era, with my friends Marilyn Monroe and a

Mechanic (it was an M party) when our taxi was hit from behind my

another car! We then had to go in an ambulance to A & E, still in our

costumes and wait to be seen. They even sent me to xray like it,

how embarrassing! But i can see the funny side which was why i

thought i'd share!

Anyway, hoping to spend some time adding recipes soon. How is

everyone? I just got 5 vegan cookbooks that i'd ordered today so

expect to see some recipes from them soon.

Take care people x

Hi Jon,

Congrats on going vegan. I was eating vegan for a week then had a veggie

weekend, now i'm trying to be vegan again and hope to stay that way. take a

look at my onlione diary

http://laurakate01.diaryland.com/

I've included a list of web addresses of sites that have info on veganism

and a list of sites that have searchable archives of vegan recipes. they're

all pretty good sites. I'm going to hopefully post a couple of recipes soon

too.

Nice to hear from you

Laura

Hi there,

i'm still off work with my aching back so i'm quite bored. Keep alternating

between lying down and typing at the computer... and sometimes both!

I'm sure i'll be back on top of things soon,

thanks for your concern,

have fun on your hols!

Hello, Rohit, and welcome!

From India, huh??? Indian food is one of my favorites...I usually manage to hit

one of our Indian restaurant buffets once/week and " pig out " on the food. My

almost 4-year old granddaughter started Indian food at age 9 months, thanks to

me!

When you get comfy, I am looking forward to seeing your recipes! Ummm...would

you have a good recipe for Chai tea?

Hi, nice to meet you Ju. Welcome to the group!

I think the easiest way to change your diet is probably gradually. that seems to work best for most people. So if your ideal is a vegan raw diet you could go vegetarian, then vegan, then mostly raw etc.

Having said that, i went veggie overnight and then vegan overnight a few months later and that seemed to work for me.

the best adivice i have for you about sticking with it is to read all you can and watch all you can about the meat/dairy industry. I have found now that i know so much and have watched so much that i could never bring myself to eat meat, and i'd even feel bad about eating dairy.

So i say knowledge is power in this case!

Try www.Petatv.com if you want to watch some videos.

I know these things are shocking but sometimes it makes me feel so bad that this stuff is happening and people choose to ignore it. Once you have watched this stuff, even if you have previously not had an interest in animal rights/cruelty issues, it will make you feel empowered in your decision to stop eating meat!

I went veggie for health reasons but found i felt more compassionately about animal cruelty issues afterwards.

Anyway, i hope this helps. Vegan by Erik Marcus is an excellent book for exlaining why to go vegan. And the livewire guide to being, going and staying veggie (or something like that) by Juliet Gellatley is good too.

If you would like to know more about anything feel free to ask!

Hi,I thought I would just write a few lines and come out of lurking....My name is Ju - female, nearly 39, living in the South East of England... young, free and single.I joined this group as in the past I have been vegetarian - came via wholefoods.. but due to practicalities and hunger went back to eating dead animal. I also am trying to loose some weight - about 30 lb!Now I am going back to being vegetarian - with the aim of eating a mainly vegan and/or raw food diet at home - and being vegetarian when going out.Would any of you be so kind as to tell me how to best effect this change?Is it best to go straight from a mixed diet to vegan - or is it better and/or easier to go vegan... I am studying hard the nutritional aspects of it all as well - and want to prepare well! And how to

deal with older people who may not understand what a vegetarian is - and are resistant to any change...?And what about a change to raw food as well?Sorry I have asked too many questions...Thanks for all your helpJu

Hi Laura-

Glad to have your advice, but also to hear a little about you

personally. I'm also a teacher, but in the U.S., so I can relate to

your time crunch. As for reading, my favorite genre is the

biography. I like to see where others have come from, how they've

dealt with their life's problems, managed their successes, etc.

Speaking about successes, have you ever heard of Christina Perillo?

She has a cooking show that originates in Philly (my hometown) and

swears that vegetarian / organic eating cured her cancer and saved

her life. Certainly a bid for eating vegetarian! Talk to you all

again soon.

i handed over to Pat who has done the most fantastic job. I am now

a vegan but still need to lose a bit of weight. To make things more

complicated i have IBS so i often get an upset stomach and certain

foods make me feel pretty rough. Aurora, I find that charcoal

capsules (to soak up the gas and acid) and a tummy rub with ginger

essential oil blended with some carrier oil works well for me. I've

yet to find anything that works amazingly well though.

Hello Athena, and welcome,

Am I correct that assuming you are Pagan by your name? Well, no matter, I found

that Vegetarianism increased my spirituality.

For those of you that are Pagan I say that it is hard to seek your spirit guide

when it is possible that you would eat him/her.

Blessings,

Chanda/Maria

Hi

Hi everyone,

I've signed up for this group a few days ago and am now finally introducing

myself. I had been debating the concept of going vegetarian for months now and

finally decided to do it as one of my resolutions. I'm actually finding it a

lot easier than I thought, and my love for meat has actually seemed to

disappear. I've noticed that even the sight of it kind of makes me uneasy.

It's really weird. I've only been doing this for about nine days. But I am

very happy with the decision I've made. So I hope that by joining this group I

could gain support, some recipes, and a couple friends at that.

No I'm not Pagan. I was named after my godmother who I think is Catholic. I'm

not sure. Thanks for the welcome.
