Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Congrats! I made up my mind and tossed all meat and never looked back. Nowadays there are alternative products, packaged items, easy to find ingredients, this support group with all our recipes, good cookbooks. When I made the decision it was not easy back then, you had to create in the kitchen and spend time cooking, I didn't have a toaster oven, microwave and there was no veggie burger on a menu or in the frozen section of the market to help you along the path. I think you will be a success.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Eating vegetarian is a little more difficult for me in that I have done a lot of research on soy and have determined that it is best not to eat the stuff. I know most of you eat it several times a day, but no tofu, temph, soy milk or Bocca burgers for me. It is used in most all prepared vegetarian foods, so I eat strictly from scratch, almost exclusively from my own kitchen. Katie in Alaska Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: Congrats!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I very rarely eat soya products either, Katie - perhaps I eat tofu once a month or even less and I don't like soya milk so I'd rather have rice or oat milk. I don't think it's good to eat too much of any one thing and I get plenty of protein in everything else I eat. I find it creeping its way into many foodstuffs over here in the UK now too which isn't such a good thing, particularly as so much of it is GMO.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hi JJ: When my son was 4 or 5 I picked him up from nursery school and he gets into the car and says mom, where does turkey come from? I said honey you know what a turkey is he said ewewew I'm never eating that again, and that is when I went vegetarian. He still eats meat. So I went to the libarary and checked out some vegetarian cookbooks, someone at the Library sugested Laurels Kitchen I read it cover to cover. Then I took out some more and tried recipes. Some I liked some not so much. I highly recomend trying cookbooks from the library before you buy them. Gayle thelilacflower Mon, 22 Jan 2007 5:25 PM Re: JJ Scotishlady Congrats!
