Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hi everyone! I just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I have been trying to move more towards eating vegetarian the last several years, despite numerous food allergies and intolerances which seem to keep throwing my whole way of eating out of whack. I think I have finally got myself together and have started pushing harder at eating healthier in general and eating less processed, bad for you foods. I have little time to cook (currently working 2 jobs plus in school), so I need recipes which require little prep, are easy to make, and even better can be made ahead to heat up during the week. Any ideas of how to start stocking my pantry with limited money would be great. I always seem to spend too much money at the grocery store with not enough to get through the week - I'm terrible at menu planning. I tried organic gardening this year to help out, but our soil is absolutely awful (weeds barely grow in it), and I'm convinced I'll have to do more container gardening until it improves over the years. I also tried our local farm coop, but there just wasn't enough coming in to justify the cost (they're just starting out and aren't quite organized yet). I know of a great farm to buy at, but it's 2 hours away, or else I'd be in produce heaven every week. I just need to figure out how to get organized with what I can get and eat as simple as possible. I'm looking forward to reading through the posts! Michelle in Va Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
