I'm so glad you've found us here, Laura. Are there specific types of foods

that you find most challenging? What can we help you with specifically?

There are quite a few experienced " wheat free " cooks on this list and I'm

sure they will be happy to help you out.

Yes please! While my father doesn't have a majorly sensitive tummy,

my hubby does. Honestly that man eats the most blandest food I've

ever tasted. I'm half ashamed to say this but lately all I've fed

him that he's been willing to eat (for dinner that is) has been Egg

Beaters and Ezekiel Bread toast. That is the one thing that has NOT

upset his tummy. I've learned that he can't handle your basic

spices (basil, oregano, sage, etc), absolutely refuses to eat

anything that has garlic in it.

Recently I purchased around 5 books about wheat free gluten free

cooking and was aghast to read that Ezekiel Bread wasn't good for a

wheat free/gluten free diet then read somewhere else that it was.

To say I'm getting overwhelmed is an understatement. I've purchased

the " Bob's Red Mill WF/GF/DF Bread Mix " but my father and hubby

prefer the Ezekiel Bread but I don't want to give them anything that

I shouldn't. So if anyone has any thoughts on if Ezekiel Bread is

ok or not, please share that info too.

I pulled several different recipes off of here last night and will

share them with my mother and a friend of mine whose hubby was

recently diagnosed as having celiac disease (she's in the same boat

as I am with her hubby). I was thrilled to find pie crust recipes

and various bread recipes so Mother and I can start experiementing

before Thanksgiving gets here. My father is a BIG pumpkin pie fan

and just knew he wouldn't be able to have any this year so I'm going

to surprise him. His 80th birthday is the Monday before

Thanksgiving and I'm going to fix him a wf/gf birthday cake and

invite some of his closest friends over to help celebrate.

I went to bed last night very thankful to find this group of folks

willing to help us " newbies " .

Blessings

Laura

Jen,

I have two dogs

both Vegan

one has been vegan for 3 years and she can out run just about any dog I have

ever seen

the other was a orphan we got from the kennel he has been vegan for about

6 months and just about everything about him has improved

dogs have evolved with humans over the last 10000 or so years so it stands

to reason

that they are better off as vegetarians or even vegans

if you would like more info

I would be very happy to list their menu

all the best

been wanting to convert for a long time, and ive never been much of

a meat eater anyway (i buy it only for the dogs and cats). id be

interested in any recipes that i can take to work or make for a

quick meal at home, or give to my mom, who is probably thinking b y

now ive gone over the deep end (although shes really supportive).

im going to wander through the site a lot, looking for recipes. i

dont have the program listed though, so hopefully thats ok....

Hi Saedric,

I'm from NJ too, and I'm also new to this list. The people seem really friendly

and the topics are interesting. I haven't really jumped in yet to add to the

topics that are being discussed, but I'm looking forward to participating more

as I learn more.

Greetings everyone!

I was invited by the moderator to join this list, and obviously have

now done so.

My name is Saedric, and I have been a Vegan for 3 months now. I am a

40 male from Hamilton, NJ - the one near Princeton (yes, NJ is soooo

big that one Hamilton just wasn't enough. Interestingly enough,

they are both right next to a Washington Twp - go figure?). I am

married and I have a 14 year old Son. I love to cook, especially hot

and spicy food.

I look forward to participating in this group.

Hi Mike,

Glad you're here. And bravo to your doctor The recipe files for

this group are amazing - lots of styles, flavorful, good for all

levels of cooking experience and all the recipes are tried & true.

And we talk cookbooks all the time I like Nava Atlas' 5-

Ingredient Vegetarian Gourmet & Robin Robertson's Fresh From the

Vegetarian Slow Cooker and just the other day I found a copy of The

Compassionate Cook in a free box on the side of the road but I

haven't cooked anything from it yet. Anyone here have that one?

Like it/Hate it?

Peace,

Diane

Hi Diane,

Thanks much!

I'll be especially interested in checking out Fresh From the

Vegetarian Slow Cooker...particularly as we move out of summer and

into fall and winter.

Thanks for the warm greeting!

I use my cooker a lot more in the winter too Mike but now I can't

wait to try out Donna's yellow submarine pea soup in it.

Welcome, Mike, and watch out! Before I joined this group I used to say

I didn't need more cookbooks because you can get so many recipes on the

internet. True, true. And some of the best are in our files.

HOWEVER, somehow I now find myself with about 20 new cookbooks. So

BEWARE! I'm in love with Lorna Sass's Vegetarian Pressure Cooker

cookbook and I made a curried split pea soup out of there tonight. I

also love Nava Atlas's cookbooks (recommended by this group) and I just

bought her Family Cookbook to go next to my also new 5-Ingredient

cookbook. Of course, there has been a recent flurry over the Native

Foods cookbook so I have added that one as well. I plan to make up

their Vegan Ranch Dressing recipe this weekend (I believe you can find

that recipe in our files).

Tomorrow I want to try Deborah Madsen's " Green Barley and Kale Gratin "

recipe. I now get an organic veggie box and today's box included kale.

I need to figure out what to do with the bunch of chives I got - I'm not

a big chives person, but I'm thinking of making a whipped herbed butter

a la Alton Smith. I'm open to healthier suggestions. ;-)

So, Mike, you may get more here than you bargained for. You'll know it

when you start mail ordering smoked paprika, ordering a highly reviewed

mandolin (vegetable slicer), and avidly reading descriptions of swiss

chard preparations - when you thought you hated swiss chard. :-)

Hi,

I just joined after my annual physical yesterday.

My doctor has changed his position on diet

somewhat from last year, when he advocated pretty

much a Mediterranean diet. Now he's suggesting a

strictly vegetarian diet, primarily as a means of

fighting cholesterol. Makes sense: no animal

products, no cholesterol. So I'm interested in substantial, flavorful

recipes.

(I was actually a vegetarian many years ago in

the late 1970's/early 1980's, primarily on the

basis of the Frances Moore Lappé " Diet for a

Small Planet " philosophy that it's more efficient

and easier on the planet to get protein from its

original plant source, rather than what it takes

to generate the same amount of protein from an animal source.)

One question: is it appropriate to ask questions

about things like the best recent vegetarian

cookbook for certain kinds of cooking? Or is

there another group where that kind of discussion takes place?

Thanks much,

Mike
