Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hi Annie, I am Sheyen 33, married, no kids. I am a Lacto-ovo or should say 95% lacto-ovo with the other 5% working on it, lol. Just been doing this for the past month, so it is not hard, but difficult, especially with hubby being a kitchen manager, and the only thing at his bar that is meatless, are some of the appetizers, and salad. Anyway, welcome Sheyen , " Annie Littlewolf " <rdebord wrote: > > Hi! I'm Annie, and I am, obviously, a vegetarian. Trying to go vegan, but > get set back sometimes - I do like cheese.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 This particular shot is of the blue haze that the area is known, and named, for. It really is an awesome shot, and I have considered having it blown to poster size. On 9/18/06, wwjd <jtwigg wrote: > > Oh that must be beautiful.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hmmm, that may take some time to find it...I am a digital photo freak, and have thousands! lol. But when I do, does this group allow attachments, or shall I post it in the files/photo section? seems OT...???

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Welcome, Heather! We hope you enjoy our group So you have been Vegan 'only a few weeks'. Well, I have to tell you that that's a huge achievement - a big step to take and one you won't regret, I promise. > I still have my slips now > > and then, but I am trying. Well of course you do - everyone does at first, even if they don't know it. But as you say, you are trying and that's wonderful! Don't worry too much about the others in your household - just get on with your own way of eating. It's not that difficult and they are less likely to bother you about it if you don't make a big deal of it - I think and hope anyway!!!!!! Find our recipes - something there for everyone!

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 welcome mary hope you enjoy it here don't know much about upstate NY meself...went on winery tour a billion years ago, and thats about all i remember pretty country up there tho cheers fraggle Mary Aug 6, 2008 2:57 PM My Intro Hi, I've been a vegan since May. It has been an easy transition. I really don't know what took me so long. My husband is an omnivore but he likes vegan recipes so dinner time is fine! I have a son who is a vegetarian. He is leaving for Boston University for his first year of college in a few weeks. My daughter is 22 and lives about an hour away from me. The biggest problem I have had since going vegan is when I go to restaurants. We got out rather frequently. Admittedly I am rather reserved and not about to bug the kitchen to make changes for me. I do try to chose restaurants wisely though sometimes that isn't possible when we are going out with friends who have their hearts set on a particular place. I love to cook. Preparing vegan recipes has been a new adventure....to a certain extent. When my kids were little we mostly ate vegan because we couldn't afford meat. Actually it wasn't unusual because as an Italian I grew up with greens, beans and pasta. I do love the newer cookbooks and recipes. I admit I am having a lot of fun experimenting! As for me....I'm 49 and a retired home care nurse. I have many hobbies....cooking, running, biking, woodcarving, reading....to name a few. I live in the Finger Lakes area of NY Mary With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Here's my introduction. I decided to go vegetarian for Lent because I tend to not like meat anyway and found myself falling into a rut of just microwaving a lean pocket or something. Ever since becoming vegetarian I have seen a huge change in the way I cook/eat. I eat only freshly cooked meals now! I have not cooked this much in.... ever! I was always eating microwave meals or maybe a quick lunchmeat and cheese sandwich. Wow, it almost feels like freedom because I am discovering I have so many choices by cooking my own meals. I am loving finding new vegetarian recipes as well. I just might stay this way after Lent, however I do see I have been craving boneless hot wings lately. I'm thinking its just the hot sauce I'm actually craving and am trying to think of a way to satisfy my craving. Otherwise, I do reallly enjoy my new found vegetarianism. I'm also a breastfeeding mama. ~ Esperanza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Have you tried these? I saw them in the store and they didn't look " saucy " enough for me. I love the sauce!
