Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hi Chanda: Just wanted to wish you a belated happy anniversary. Gayle PuterWitch <puterwitch Sat, 10 Dec 2005 15:37:02 -0500 Re: Thank you all Heather and feeding men True Donna and heather and all, I have my family down to eating meat once per week, and that includes fish or ---- not red meat anyway. I still meet with some adversity, but they know I am right, and looking out for them, so it's not nasty adversity really. They have begun to open up to new dishes and enjoy a lot of foods as the main course now, like the cabbage au gratin recipe in the recipe files for instance, or a veggie Thai dish I make, or spaghetti with garlic bread, they don't miss the meat there. I still get comments when they go to sit down, " where is the meat " but once they start eating they enjoy it and shutup, LOL. I just try my best to give them a lot of variety, and the dishes they really like I repeat often. I find that if I get a good bread to go with the meal, the conversation turns to how good the bread is. I don't bake it, I buy it ;O) another way is to have a dessert for them to look forward to after, if they know that is coming they are more agreeable. you can do dessert without a ton of sugar too. There are subs that are actually good for you like pure maple syrup and cane juice etc. Just stick to it, you will be fine. it's been one year for me, this month is my one year anniversary. It's been great. hugs, Chanda - purplepassion Saturday, December 10, 2005 2:59 PM Re: Thank you all Heather and feeding men Oh men make wonderful vegetarians and if my nephew Mo could do it at age 17 and stick to it, ( he's 24 now) any male can. Look at our group poster guy Paul. He has really worked hard and is learning more each day with the rest of us. Once you make the change it will be easier to work some of those vegetarian dishes into the weekly dinners. I know Chanda is living proof of that. Just be patient and there's no guarantee they will make a complete change but there is always hope. Happy you are with us and if you have any questions just toss them to the group.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 aww thanks so much Gayle!!! actually it is not belated, it's right on time, as I recall it was right before Christmas when I stopped all meats but fish, then new years eve was my last fish mean, and new years day was my first day of being a full vegetarian. I didn't even plan it that way, LOL. So, I really shouldn't say December, I should say January. hugs, Chanda - glpveg4life Friday, December 16, 2005 1:54 PM Re: Chanda Happy anniversary Hi Chanda: Just wanted to wish you a belated happy anniversary.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Chanda for your New Years and vegetarian anniversary you could celebrate with a tofuna sandwich I tried out of the files. One year later. I will have my anniversary of one year in Feb. 2006. I wish I knew about this group then because I had a hard year of making food to eat but now I make alot of stuff and have more recipes to try and some out of my dollar used book.
