Hiya!

 

My name is Mel & I live in CA with my husband and 10 cats. I've been a

vegetarian officially since I was 12, though I've never enjoyed eating meat. I

remember going to McDonalds as a kid and pulling the burger out and thinking

that it tasted much better! I also had some serious issuse with the actual

thought of eating animals. I still have that issue, lol. My folks tolerate my

choice, though my Step-Dad teases me relentelessly. I've had silly arguments

with him wherein he's said things like, " Well, I don't refuse myself simple

joys. " And I'm like, Ok, but eating meat is not a joy to me! Why do some people

just not understand this basic concept? *sigh*

 

I also do not enjoy drinking milk or eating eggs, though I'm not entirely vegan

because I love cheese and (sometimes) ice cream, though more often than not, I

go for frozen yogurt or soy.

 

My biggest problem, though, is getting my body what it needs to be healthy. I

can go for lengths of time without eating right and then WAM it catches up with

me and I just feel terrible. Thus, I'm very interested in learning more balanced

meal ideas & recipes, as well as what types of supplements I should (or should

not) take.

 

Well, I can't much think of anything else to add...

 

Cheers!

-Mel

 

PS: Anyone know of a good substitute for sweetened condensed milk?
