Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'm Sandy and live in the southern US. I am a sahm working on starting a career in freelance writing. We are going through some of the toughest financial times in over 20 years so I haven't tried many new vegetables. It has been a struggle to buy any at all! I tried growing zucchini and tomatoes. My son's gf planted seeds from a zucchini for my birthday and my son bought the little tomato plants. We got two zucchini before the plants died and have had a few tomatoes. When I get extra money, I head to the local farmer's market!

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Im Still Here. I'm Kaye in Texas, Veg with no dairy or gluten for about a year now. I have rediscovered pretty well all veggies since I was really eating so few for so long. I am loving asparagus, peas, okra, cucumbers, mushrooms, and POTATOES. Everyday for lunch I usually have a bowl of basmati rice with a teaspoon of smart balance light or ghee along with a pinch of coriander, curry, tumeric, & cumin(all good for digestion). I toss in steamed asparagus, mushrooms, and chickpeas or whatever veggies float my boat for the day. I also love eating sunflower seeds with my breakfast. I have also discoverd braggs aminos for an occasional flavoring and my favorite Frozen dinner is Amy's Kitchen Black-eyed peas Vegetable and Rice Bowl.

Ghee is clarified butter. However, I googled and came up with this fwiw http://isachandra.livejournal.com/59684.html It seems there is such a thing as vegan 'ghee' which is from palm oil and soybean oil.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Here! I planted spaghetti squash to see how it would turn out. It turned out very nice and it's delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hi Joyce Once I had several spaghetti squashes so was keeping them over fall and winter. When I went to bake the last one, all the " spaghetti " had been " eaten up " by the seed area. Just for your information ... they don't keep as long as I thought they would. Better yet, eat 'em all right away! They *are* delicious. I saved seed last fall to plant some, but didn't dry it well enough because it was mouldy when I went to sow it this spring.
