Guest guest Report post Posted March 30, 2009 Jeanne, what was the tofu dish that you like? I'm having the same problem. Tofu just tastes like a nasty old sponge to me Audrey S.

We have a ton of recipes in the files folder, so far everything I have made from the recipes has been good. Being a veg is so much cheaper than being meat eaters and in many ways it can be so much simpler and yet more complicated LOL. If you like Indian food there are tons of recipes on the net that are fabulous. If you don't look at it like losing meat from your diet you are way ahead of the game. I got into Indian food when I quit eating meat this last time and looked at it as a new eating experience. The taste, textures and flavors were so awesome that my husband and I never even noticed there wasn't any meat in the food. In essence we didn't miss it one bit -- then I branched into American food some. With the help of Bob's Red Mills Vital Gluten Flour to make gluten steaks, chops, ground and all kinds of flavors of meat substitute that you can use your old cook books with. You can still have " chicken " divan and all kinds of things. I make burgers on my counter top grill, roasts in the crock pot that can be sliced for dinners or sandwiches. Cutlets to have with cream gravy or brown gravy with mushrooms. Lentil loaves, nut loaves, cottage cheese loaf all kinds of goodies. I do love being a veg and I hope you do too.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 1, 2009 Welcome to the veggie side! I understand feeling like you're the only one not gnawing on a cow - where I live, meat is put in everything but ice cream and I think if she could have, my late mother in law would have done just that. You'll love the group. These are the best folk anywhere. Just my opinion (but I'm right.) Hugs, Jeanne in GA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted June 13, 2009 I'm curious. Did your doctor actually advise you to follow a vegetarian diet? I'm mostly vegan, and I recently had my gallbladder removed because it started releasing gallstones. I've known since 2005 that my gallbladder was filled with gallstones, but it had never caused me any problems until recently. My primary care physician came right out and told me that my diet was probably the reason I'd never had a full-blown gallbladder attack. Dena Jo - taximommyto9 Saturday, June 13, 2009 6:03 PM hello Hello Everyone, I am new to this group. Because of my bad health my doctor has told me to change my diet. So here I am exploring vegetarianism!! Thank you for letting me join your group. I am the mother of nine beautiful children. Which one of my kids needs me right now. I will post more later. World War three is taking place in my living room right now. Sherri Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted June 15, 2009 Hi Debbie, welcome to the garden. I'm jealous of your cookbooks, lol. One I heartily recommend is mostly reasons behind going veg with a very nice number of recipes which are ordinary enough for the average eater to use to transition over to vegetarianism. It's Diet For A Small Planet by Francis Moore Lappe. I'm on my 5th copy because I have the horrible habit of giving a copy to friends/family who are going veggie more and more. The Moosewood cookbooks are good too. Hugs and welcome to you all all our new veggies! Jeanne in GA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted December 16, 2009 Hi, Mary. I'm new here, too, and am veering towards vegetarianism. I'm trying to cut out meats and figure out substitutes for the few times I would like to have meat. I would like a substitute for BBQ pork shreds, something that's chewy and chunky, if possible, with, naturally, BBQ sauce. This is a very friendly site. :-) I venture to say that political chat sites are not too friendly, lol! That's why I don't even want to get involved in my local home owners' association, last time I went to a meeting I was frightened at all the stupid yelling and screaming ... I like my composure, I also like my life, LOL! and my blood pressure is high enough. I hope you send in your favorite recipes and stick around. Cindi <<not sure how this chat site works. I just left a political chat site that got so nasty and mean, I sought out something lighter. I am a veg, but cook for a meat-eater. He's fairly easy going about it, and gets no pork, no hamburger. Our kids are our dogs, five rescues. I don't really like to cook, so the simpler the better. I like baking bread. I do have a great cream cheese and mushroom enchilada recipe, if you're interested.>> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted January 30, 2010 Paul, welcome to the Garden of Earthly Delights! I don't do processed foods, other than farm made, non rennet cheese but one of my huge downfalls is things like potato chips. There has only been one potato chip I didn't like - dill pickle. The pickles are supposed to be beside or in my sandwich! Soooooo my blood pressure is a bit up there and I'm on bp meds. My bad. You'll love this group, the recipes and the great folk here.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 27, 2010 You'll love it here. I was also a Lenten vegetarian (pescatarian actually), but being on here has encouraged me to have a mostly veg. pregnancy and now working our way up to 3 - 4 times a week instead of one or two. (I have 3 children regularly home with a daughter every other week & an additional 3-4 that visit often also - 1 of which is mine biologcally - all but the girls are strict carnivores - well ok the baby is strictly dairy for a few more months Sent from my iPhone On Feb 27, 2010, at 9:18 PM, Esperanza <esper_d wrote: Hello!
