New to Group - TIRED of COOKING!

[Guest guest]

Out of pure curiosity I am always intrigued to know why some think

being vegan or even vegetarian means more cooking? Because I found that

I cooked less when cooking for a family, and not just myself. Since I

could cook up ahead of time, beans, rice, and various other vegetables,

which I froze or canned for using in future meals. Like making a

vegetarian batch of various beans which I could use for making chili

cheese fries, tacos, soups, spaghetti sauce, salads. And I keep a

variety of health pastas, rice's, tortillas (corn and flour) on hand.

And with a bounty of vegetables I can make so many types of salads

which we eat daily. Breakfasts are fruit and yogurt with some whole

grain topping. ~Beth~

Hi folks. My name is Rose, I'm 61, I live in rural upstate New York.

 

Fred and I vascillate between vegan and vegetarian. I need to be vegan

because

of my health. But I am SO tired of cooking. I enjoy it, but I'm feeling

chained to the stove lately.

 

Thanks,Rose

First of all, Beth, thanks for responding.

In any event, the rice, beans and vegetables are no problem. I guess I should

have been more specific in my request for information. I'm talking about

ENTREES, mainly, although I should be doing more quick stirfries than I

currently do, as well as cooking ahead more. No excuse for that.

 

Thanks,

 

Rose

I am a single guy and might be taking the lazy way about this but I find

the cooking to be less time than before and no worrying about if the meat is

cooked enough

I microwave/steam all my veggies and what I don’t goes in

the Crockpot or I will make in big batches and just reheat in the microwave.

 

I also buy frozen veggies a lot and don’t go fancy on the recipes. I

stick with the simple stuff so there is not a lot of prep time. Might

not win any awards but quick and healthy.

 

I too am doing this for my health. Next check up is 8/25 to compare new

tests to my very bad old ones from 3 months ago.
