Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Pheobe, Congrats on your diet change. You are making the right choice. Try a book called " The Gradual Vegetarian " . I've forgotten the author, but it is a great little book...full of common-sense advice, encouragement, and simple recipes. Some of the specific nutrition advice is a bit dated, but the general tone is nice. I especially liked the chapter about living (and cooking for) omnivores. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Vegetarian lasagne (with spinach and mushrooms and tofu to replace part of the Ricotta) is a good recipe; so are vegetarian chilis and stews. I just made a chowder with canned tuna. Also many casseroles and pasta dishes you can easily omit the meat, especially if cheese and eggs are included. Quiches and fritatas are another.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Welcome, Connie! Sorry to hear about your kitty, none of them live long enough. Lots of us are animal lovers here -- especially cat lovers, it seems! I have three cats and one dog, a chihuahua mix. I'm interested in your meatloaf recipe, if you wouldn't mind posting it -- and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hello everyone, I just joined the group and am a bran new vegetarian. 2 months as of yesterday. Anyhow, here I am at 45 years old learning how to cook a balanced meal all over again and using ingredients I've never heard of before. I look forward to learning some new and EASY recipes!

Yeah, I relate to that. But it is fun. Don't neglect to try nutritional yeast. It's delicious sprinkled on pasta, soups, stews...I even sprinkle it on my bread. It has a wonderful cheesy flavor. TVP is another handy product: a meat replacement made of soy, it is sold in granular or chunk varieties and may be flavored or unflavored. With TVP, you can adapt almost any recipe calling for ground or cubed meats. It a very healthy product: low calorie, low-fat, high protein. Next, I have become a huge fan of almost every kind of bean, especially lentils. I use them in everything! All my soups and stews contain beans. Even my potato soup is enhanced by throwing in a handful of red lentils. Learning to cook without meat also led me to finally trying to make a good miso soup at home. That was a triumph for me. It's one way I enjoy tofu. I've learned so much about alternative ingredients from reading this group! It's an invaluable resource for those transitioning to vegetarianism. Instead of feeling deprived, I feel like I'm adventuring. How much fun it is to discover an entire new way of cooking and eating after age 60. I recommend this list to anyone who seems interested in vegetarianism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks Mary. I'm really having fun. We have tried several of the fake meats and both Hubby and I have been impressed. The Farmers Market has become my best friend and I'm trying to buy as much organic as I can. I don't miss meat at all. Switched between lunch and dinner one time on a whim and that has been it.
