Howdee ya'll

 

My name is Becky and I live in Tennessee.

 

47 year old SAHM that runs a day care in my house.

 

I just found out I have cholesterol problems and would love to have

 

Some great vegetable recipes.

 

Course Ive always loved my veggies anyway

 

Any body got any healthy ways to cook a egg plant?

 

I have one in the fridge and don't know what to do with it.

 

I use to fry them like I would a green tomatoe..

 

 

But frying is out of the question for me any more

 

Thanks for having me and hope to make some new friends.

Hi Becky, welcome to the garden of earthly delights! Ouch, you have the hardest

job in the world, IMO. SAHM plus day care? Makes me tired just to think of it.

 

As for going vegetarian (or more veg) and your high cholesterol, don't forget

that dairy and eggs have cholesterol so be cautious when/if adding them. (Vegan

= veggies with no dairy/eggs. Lacto-ovo = veggies with dairy/eggs.)

 

You'll find the best recipes here and the most incredible, caring people ever.

 

Now for the eggplant. What else do you have on hand? What do you like? I

believe someone here has posted an eggplant hummus recipe. (YUM, good snack food

for watching the game.) If I had one in the fridge right now, I'd probably turn

it into a pasta sauce (peeled, cubed eggplant, tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic,

onions, oregano, basil, mushrooms, bay leaves, black olives and whatever else

tastes good) served over tri-color pasta.

 

Do a google search, I know you'll find more recipes for eggplant than you could

try in an entire lifetime, lol!

 

Glad you're here, Jeanne in GA

why not turn it into a one person eggplant parmesan?

you can use either sauce in a jar, or whip up a batch

of fresh using plum tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic, a

bit of olive oil, and some fresh basil, oh and a

little sugar just to cut the bitterness of the

tomatoes. you could grill the eggplant by brushing it

with some olive oil - it's not like you're deep frying

it or anything, and olive oil is actually healthy for

you..surely just brushing some on either side won't be

bad for you.

 

then to the sauce, you could add some Quorn mince -

it's like vegetarian ground beef, but much better.

this cooks mighty quick, does the Quorn. I put a

little water in the bottom of the pan just to keep it

from sticking, and I add spices to taste, and then you

can add your sauce over that and mix it. then use the

eggplnat and layer the sauce and finish it with some

veggie cheese grated over the top..this is just off

the top of my head so I can't really tell you how much

of what, but with you being a mommy and all, I'd say

you can easily take it from here just play around

with it.

 

incidentally, I'm also new. I'm Melissa and I live in

Southampton in the UK. I'm going vegan so meat and

eggs are out for me, which makes things difficult, but

not impossible! anyway, hope this works out for you

 

best wishes,

Melissa

Hello everyone,

 

I just joined today. My name is Marisa I'm married and a mother of two

gorgeous girls (under 5 years of age), I live in Sydney Australia and just

started out on the Vegetarian path this year!

 

My husband and I love to grow our own vegetables and herbs, it's so exciting

to watch them grow, it makes us appreciate food even more!

 

The reasons for me becoming a Vegetarian are because red meat was starting

to make me feel sick whenever I ate it, white meat soon followed and I wasn

t feeling 100%

I have PCOS and an auto immune disease (probably Lupus) doctor's are still

trying to figure out which one it is I have so my health is very important

to me and since starting on the Vegetarian path I have more energy and feel

fantastic!!

 

No one else in my family is Vegetarian and I sometimes get the comments that

it's not a healthy choice etc etc etc but I know better LOL and have the

full support from my doctor's and dietician so I know I'm doing what's best

for me and my health.

 

Thanks for having me! I'm looking forward to trying out new yummy recipes!

 

Hugs

Marisa

Hi Heidi

 

Welcom to the group. I hope you enjoy it here :-)

 

I'm in the UK so cannot give you information on what may be available

to you. We have quite a variety of vegan non-hydrogenated margarines

here, so I am sure that some of our American friends will have

suggestions for you.

Hi Heidi,

 

Welcome.

 

Glad to hear that day 9 of being vegan is going okay for you.

 

With regard to the "butter". Here in the UK I buy a spread called "Pure" which is vegan. Perhaps there is a something suitable for you in your country - have a look around.

 

You said you have a concern with what to do when you go out to other peoples' houses being a vegan. When I go to someone's house they usually know that I am vegan and will do some food which can be eaten by everyone (or a selection - so that everyone can help themselves). Other times I will take along a contributory dish that I have prepared to go with other dishes on the table, so once again everyone can help themselves to what they want. I usally take my soya milk if I am going to be spending a few hours at someone's house. It all works very well.

 

Try not to worry too much about how everything will come together. Believe me it does

 

Teresa

I just joined this group. My name is Heidi and I live in Wasilla, Alaska! I have been a lacto-ova vegetarian for 11 years and have challenged myself for one month to go vegan. I just finished day 9 and am feeling quite well, I have to say. I thought it would be much more challenging than it actually is. I love cheese and thought that would be the most difficult hurdle but amazingly I am not missing it at all, probably because I feel so good. I may very well keep living the vegan lifestyle. The one thing I am having a hard time going without is the butter that I put on my toast every morning. I eat sprouted grain bread which can be dry without the butter. Are there any good alternatives out there that might satisfy me?The other thing that concerns me a little is what to do when invited over to other peoples houses. Being lacto-ova is easy because there is always *something* that I can eat. The vegan thing is a little bit harder. I always feel rude asking the host to make something special for me and somehow it feels rude to bring my own dish too. How do you deal with these things?Thanks ahead of time for your help.Heidi

[Guest guest]

Welcome to the group Heidi. I've not caught on as early as most

here. I've been on the Standard American Diet (SAD) up until this

past November and I didn't go Vegan until December mainly due to

lack of information. The more I read about veganism the more I could

see my views aligned perfectly with this lifestyle. It was the

optimal choice for me but it does present some problems.

 

I do a lot of socializing and have been avoiding it simply

because I need to get my feet a little more anchored in what I'm

doing. I don't mind standing out but I'm sure this is going to

get frustrating at times simply because so many people carry the

wrong ideas and have no inclination to look more deeply into it. It

will be more challenging when I decide to go RAW. I'm about 80% now

and taking my time until I have more understanding of what I need to

watch for in getting enough vitamins and minerals.

 

My goal this year is to find new friends who follow this path in my

area so that I don't ALWAYS feel like the odd one out.

 

Blessings,

*mona

greetings and welcome Heidi

 

 

can you get Earth Balance products up in the hinterlands up there?

They make several vegan margarines, and one is organic...

 

i like em,..tho, i haven't had butter in probably over 20 yrs..so i couldn't

tell you really if they really completely taste like cow secretions...

 

on your last question

what is wrong with bringing your own dish?

then you can share!

Hi Heidi, Welcome to the group. Sorry but I live in a different country so could not advise as to what is available over there. You could try rubbibg a clove of garlic on warm toast and adding a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if you are feeling savoury?

Being the odd one out doesn't really bother me because I have always

been a little out of step with the rest of society. We are a radical

unschooling, recycling, only buy fair trade sort of family (as most of

you are) so we are used to people thinking we are a little strange.

Most people around here call me 'Dharma', which is a wonderful

compliment. My main concern is just not wanting to be rude or feeling

like I am pushing my diet on others, but my sister talked some sense

into me by reminding me that so many people these days have special

diets, and it really isn't any different than someone on a diabetic

diet, low-carb diet or whatever.

 

Thanks for the suggestions for butter replacements, I did find

something that they have here. I just had never researched it before

because I always used butter. My sis thinks the alternative is much

tastier than butter so I will give it a try.

 

Apparently, I have a lot more to learn and hopefully I will get lots

on this list. I found out yesterday that refined sugar is not vegan?

I don't really use refined sugar but I know there is some in things

that I am not aware of. Would brown sugar be vegan? I think it is in

the bleaching agents from what I learned.

 

Heidi

[Guest guest]

depends on the brown sugar

some major brand brown sugars are just processed white suagr with either

coloring or molasses added back in to make them brown

 

the reason refined white sugar isn't vegan is that some processing plants use

bone char in the filtering process...

 

you could use beet sugar, which is vegan, tho, alas, is pretty rare nowadays in

the Us

or, there are a number of vegan brown organic sugars on the market..rappadura,

etc...

 

and, there are replacements for sugar, depending on what you need/are making

cheers

Do you have a health food store nearby?

 

I don't use much sugar in my diet, but that is where

I believe that the sugar is vegan.

 

I buy the kind that seems the less processed, which are like

brown crystals.

Hello Heidi, greetings from SoCalifornia :^)

 

I'm fairly new, haven't said much, and am very new to the vegan

lifestyle. I was an ovo lacto a few yrs back, and have been teetering

with the decision to go veg or not. Glad I finally got off the pot, lol.

 

Earth Balance has a variety of spreads that are made from vegetable

oils. As the site says: " It is guaranteed to be non-dairy, 100% vegan,

gluten free and certified kosher. Earth Balance is the leading spread

in the natural food category, more than four times better selling than

any butter brand or margarine-style spread. "

 

Here's the URL:

http://www.earthbalance.net/

 

I love real butter, margarine is gross. It's some greasy waxy synthetic

food, and it tastes awful. Earth Balance doesn't taste 100% like real

butter, but it's better than the other margarines. It's pretty good,

really. Considering it isn't real butter, it's pretty good.

 

Your sister is right about the dieting thing. Those on low carb, low

cal, low fat, low salt diets, or whatever diets, are no more demanding

than you on a vegan diet. It's okay for them, so it's okay for you.

 

Hope this helps, and welcome to veganism!

Hi Louis

 

It depends on how it's processed. Some brands (such as Tate & Lyle) use bone char in the whitening process, so that's not vegan, but not all brands do. I tend not to use white sugar anyway, but if I did, I know that the ethical supermarket round the corner from me have several local brands of white sugar which are vegan.

You are really lucky having that supermarket near you. We have to depend on Tesco and the little local health food shop.

Hi Peter

Hi Louis

 

It depends on how it's processed. Some brands (such as Tate & Lyle) use bone char in the whitening process, so that's not vegan, but not all brands do. I tend not to use white sugar anyway, but if I did, I know that the ethical supermarket round the corner from me have several local brands of white sugar which are vegan.

Hi Louis

 

I'm afraid I don't know about big brands - the ones I've seen are produced by a Bristol based co-operative, and only sold locally. The only thing I do know is that Tate and Lyle are not vegan!
