Guest guest Posted September 4, 2001 Report Share Posted September 4, 2001 Here's one I make about every 2-3 weeks. Chile Relleno Casserole Serves ~4 2 7-oz. cans whole green chilies 2 15-oz cans beans (any kind) frozen corn a/o peas, to taste 1/3 # grated cheese (cheddar or any) 16 oz yogurt (any fat level) 3 eggs, beaten 4 Tbs flour 1 tsp chili powder 1 Tbs ground cumin 1 C salsa Split one can of chilies and open flat into ungreased 9x13 pan. Layer as follows: chilies, beans, corn a/o peas, cheese; then repeat. (My favorite combo is kidney beans with corn, and then garbanzo beans with peas.) Mix yogurt, eggs, flour, and spices; beat well. Spread over casserole. Bake at 350 F for 30 min., or until set. Pour salsa on top. Bake 15 min. more. Serve with brown rice and warmed tortillas. Chris B. [chriskaye] Sunday, September 02, 2001 6:32 AM Intro/Question Hi, all! My name is Chris and my husband and I have been ovo lacto vegetarian for just over two years now. We LOVE it and are eating so much healthier now! We used to be the king and queen of quick fix pre-packaged dinners! Now we're slicing and dicing!! Anyway, I am in search of some bean casserole type dishes. Something filling, hearty, and hopefully low fat. Quick would be nice, too, but I certainly don't mind taking some time to make something healthy and good! Anyone out there from NC?? My husband is stationed in Camp Lejeune here (Marine Corps). Know of any good restaraunts in the area with veggie meals?? Thanks so much!!

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Greetings to everyone, I am not sure if this is the group for me but wanted to give it a try. I started eating raw some years back, but only during the day. I almost always ate a cooked dinner. I had thought that I would become more raw with pregnancy, but went in the total opposite direction eventhogh the pregnancy was totally draing on my body. Now I have a beautiful six -month old w/eczema all over her face(it was severly on her back and legs also. but went away when I cleared dairy out of our systems. I know it is something I'm eating and deep down I know if not for my own sake, but my daughters', I should transition to raw. I have always wondered what people do when you have other family members who just don't want to hear it? Not that they don't get the benefits, but all raw you've got to be kidding me. I don't want to say it's hard, but it's hard! As I'm writing this now, I'm remembering how addicted I used to be to chicken and the expression I had went a met a vegan for the first time. Well, I transitioned from that point right? Also, solid foods w/babies. I'm in no hurry, but wondered is there some sort of timeline for raw babies? I've heard nothing but beastmilk for 2yrs is that right? Ihave also heard that some people stick with just plain stuff no dehydrating, no fancy stuff, just good ole fruits and veges. That's more of my style, but is it doable. I mean I could do smoothies and things w/ the blender, but do I need to make cookies and patties etc.? As you can see I have a lot of questions hope I can find my way through. Peace and blessings Ayana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hi Ayana, What a beautiful name! Welcome!!! I wanted to assure that it very possible, easy and pleasant to eat a simpler raw diet. You can do smoothies and raw soups with a blender and don't anything more complicated. Fruit and salads are easy and quick and I'm sure that will be a plus for you with 7 kids! :-) About the family, just keep gently reassuring them that you are following your instincts and doing what you feel is best for them. Let them know that you support what they are doing and would appreciate that they support you in what you are doing. People often feel judged when others around them start to improve thier diet because they aren't making improvements and deep down they know they could be eating better and don't want to be confronted with that. Don't try to change them, just exude confidence and happiness in your choices and don't take their reactions personally.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hi Ayana, I'm also new to the group, and I'm so happy to have found all these great raw food enthusiasts and all their support and suggestions. I can relate to how you feel about getting the family to embrace the idea of eating raw. I am a cancer survivor (advanced aggressive breast cancer) and found raw foods to be a major turning point in my recovery. Talk about the power of your plate! It's amazing how different I feel from eating raw organic foods. We eat a lot of simple foods as Audrey has suggested; fruits and nuts, veggies, salads, fresh juices, smoothies, and green drinks. My husband and kids don't eat a completely raw diet, but I do try to make sure they get at least 50% to 70% raw. Myself, I try to eat as clean as possible, because that's what feels best to me. But I fluctuate between 85% to 100% raw. It would be closer to 100% all the time if I could get the rest of the family to give up the cooked food altogether, but we're making progress. I'm pretty satisfied with simple eating, so my challenge has been in keeping it interesting for the rest of the family. I found a great resource for raw foods that I really love, which has made the process much easier. You can check out the link below to find out more. I would think that as soon as your baby is ready for solids, you should start to introduce raw foods then. Just make sure they're mashed or cut appropriately. As babies, my kids loved peaches, bananas, cantaloupe, avocado, pears, seeded watermelon, etc.. Once their teeth start coming in, babies love chewing on things. And if you can start your baby on the good stuff from the start, what a healthy future she'll have. We all learn to walk before we can run, and there are no hard and fast rules. Do what feels comfortable for you. Change can be challenging, but as you start seeing and feeling the benefits of a raw diet, it's SO worth it. Wishing you the best!
