new & a question already!

[Guest guest]

Hello. I'm Lisa, I've been in this group for a couple of weeks but

haven't posted. I have 3 kids and a boyfriend who all eat meat,

though my younger two are getting in the habit of leaving whatever

meat was cooked on their plate and eating everything else instead.

(Happy me!)

I have been vegetarian for about 17 years, but have never been in it

for my health. I have pretty much lived on pasta, quasadillas &

burritos, grilled cheese and the occasional store bought veggie

burger. So, I don't have any recipes to share unless someone wants to

know how to cook a grilled cheese in the toaster oven.

I'm getting ready to try my first recipe from the group and have a

question. I'm using " Slow Cooking Grains " from the crock pot section

and am wondering if I should have soaked the grains? I know I used to

soak beans before using them and also wondered if that is neccessary

before crock potting them.

I'm very impressed with all of the knowledge here, hope I don't drive

anyone crazy with silly questions, but I am determined to get myself

and my kids on a decent diet and this looks like a great place to

start.
