Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 HI Dena: I have been a vegetarian for 15 years, and married for 24 years, my husband has no interest in being a vegetarian although he supports my choice. Occasionally I will be his meat when I am at the store but it is rare and he usually doesn't ask me to. I also do not cook the meat he does. My daughter has chosen to be vegetarian my son is not.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hi Gayle. It's encouraging to know that a " mixed " marriage can work out just fine. It's nice to meet you. namaste, Dena glpveg4life wrote: HI Dena: I have been a vegetarian for 15 years, and married for 24 years, my husband has no interest in being a vegetarian although he supports my choice.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 HI Dena: Nice to meet you. They can I am lucky that my husband cooks. Since he gets home from work 45 minutes or so before I do many nights he starts dinner. A lot of times he makes the both his and mine. He usually wants meat with every dinner. The key is not to force your choice on them. My daughter decided to stop eating meat when she was 5 about a year after I stopped. Good luck Gayle Here is a recipe that my non veg husband eats. Tamale Pie Group 1 2 cups cooked pinto or kidney beans 2 TBS oil 1/2 cup chopped onion 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp salt 1 TBS tomato paste 3 TBS water 1/4 cup sliced ripe olives 1/2 cup green pepper chopped 1/4 cuo chopped parsley 1/2 cup chopped celery Group 2 2 1/2 cups cold water 1 1/2 cups cornmeal 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp chili powder 1/4 cup grated cheddar ( or more if desired) Mash the beans. Mix tomato paste with water. In a skillet saute onion in oil and combine all group 1 ingredients. Let those cook over medium heat; if the beans were hot to begin with, more then 5 minutes cooking is needed. Keep stirring the mixture since beans tent to stick to the pan. Adjust seasoning to taste. Combine the ingredients of group 2 except for the cheese in a heavy pan, and cook over medium heat until cornmeal thickens and comes to a boil. You have to stir this constantly or the cornmeal will stick. Grease an 8 X 8 inch pan and spread 2/3 of the cornmeal mixture over the bottom and sides; then pour the bean mixture into this cornmeal crust and spread the remaining 1/3 of the cornmeal on the top. Sprinkle the top crust with the grated cheddar cheese and cook in a 350 degree for 30 minutes. I don't remember which cookbook I found this in, however this was something I started making when I first went veg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Thanks for the Tamale Pie recipe. Sounds like nothing I've heard of before. I'll have to try it.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 You would not believe how well it can work as long as the vegetarian isn't going to insist on converting the meat eater and as long as the meat eater is going to respect your new choice. Everything just falls into place. Over 26 years ago My Mother and myself were the only 2 vegetarians and now the entire family is vegetarian except one nephew living out of state and from what his wife tells me he's really cut down and even eats veggies now and enjoys them.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I became a vegetarian 2 years ago. I told my dh of 20 years and he was horrified. He said I could cook and he would eat, one meatless meal a week. I made eggplant parmesan the first night and converted him. I cook only vegetarian and he eats it willingly and enthusiasticly, but when away from home he eats what he likes. When we go out to eat he will sit there next to me eating his steak and always offers me some knowing I won't take it. I just enjoy my vegetarian fare. Mixed amarriages can and do work, but it really helps if you are a creative cook. My dh loves the variety of vegetarian dishes and enjoys the new and different things I use, like eggplant, that I never used before.
