My husband is very supportive of my choices and is eats vegetarian when around me but is not a true vegetarian. So I thought joining a group would help me connect with other vegetarians and feel a sense of community even if it is on line. > > Diana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hi everyone - Thank you to those who responded to my introduction email. I have to admit I am not much of a cook. If it takes more than 5 ingredients then I probably won't try to make it. So you probably won't see many recipes from me. But I do like to hear about new products folks are trying. Most of the time I use vegan substitutes when I can. Like for butter/margarine, sour cream, mayo, milk, coffee creamer, yogurt, etc... The last area I haven't given up is cheese. I still use (organic) cheese a few times a week in meals. I also still eat eggs at home but we get our eggs from a local woman who has her own chickens. We've tried many of the meatless options too. Several are really good and come in handy when having people over for dinner. One time I had my whole family over and served " meatball " sandwiches with the Nate's savory mushroom " meatballs " . Everyone loved them so much they couldn't believe they were vegetarian. Anyway, it is nice to be part of a group where I have something in common with folks that is really important to me. I read somewhere that only 3% of the population is vegatarian and less than 1% is vegan. Hopefully that number is raising!
