Hi I'm new to the list, member #1000. *grin*

 

I've recently went back to vegetarianism. I'm 25 years old, married

for 2 years this April, no kids yet, just cats and a dog. I'm from

Illinois, which is probably one of the worst places for a vegetarian

to be, and I'm a Certified Nurse Aide at a Nursing home.

 

When I lived at home with my parents I was a vegetarian, then I moved

out, thinking that it was too expensive to eat that way.. Well as a

personal experiment I went to the store only recently and bought

everything *but* the " quickie " veggie products (like boca burgers,

morningstar farms etc) and it was actually less expensive than buying

meat. I just stuck with the beans, tofu, veggies, nut butter etc. So

I'm back 'home' again to veggie-eating.. and I feel more like myself

already.. boy was I silly. sheesh.. As far as my husband goes, he is

willing to 'convert' but I'm not expecting him to do it overnite. He

does like veggie stuff, he's just a meat-person. That's the other

problem we have, the 'double menu' problem..

 

Anyhoo, I joined this list because other than cooking large portions

of veggie stuff at a time and freezing it, I'm kind of dumb to the

subject of 'quick veggie cooking'.. and I'm a meal on the go kind of

gal!!

I look forward to conversing with everyone, and hope to be able to

contribute also.

 

Thanks
