Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm sure many think vegetarian cookbooks are all lettuce recipes served 200 ways lol Donna Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile ittsy- bittsy <iseolt Fri, 18 Jan 2008 09:05:46 To everyone! Hello all, I don't post much - but this is a great group. So much helpful information, sharing, recipes, etc. I'm glad people who aren't vegetarian/vegan are coming here to check things out. It really amazes me that non-veg people won't even LOOK at a vegetarian cookbook. Just what to they think is in there??? (yes, sometimes the forward will go into rather gross details on some things) - but some never consider eating anything made out of a Vegetarian Cookbook. So i make veggie food and then they'll ask about it. A simple barley dish, grain and bean side dish, etc. and they seemed really really surprised they like it! It's one of those funny-odd moments :-) Welcome everyone!!!! issy ________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi, I am new here also, but have posted once or twice. I have been looking at vegetarian cookbooks and purchased a few. But I have also found vegetable cookbooks are very good also. I just usually exchange the oil for vegetable broth when sauteing. My boyfriend is also a carnivor and he is also a chef. Loves to cook with lots of oil and butter. We have gotten to the point now where my food is cooked in a separate pan from his so that I don't get all the additional fat. When I first went vegetarian I lost about 50 lbs, and kept it off quite well (got the chef boyfriend around the same time). I quit smoking and gained back around 40 lbs (junkfood binge). I am now trying to get that weight off, but it is slow going. I also have high blood pressure, high cholestoral and am diabetic. Need to loose the weight. Everyone has such great suggestions and ideas on this site I wish I had joined sooner. Have to go and figure out what to make for supper, kida are hungry and we have hockey and figure skating this evening. They said they want real food, so that means not much veggies, or that is what they think. Barb, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada Never miss a thing. Make your homepage.
