It has been 2 years for me and my kids. I just started cutting out the dairy the

hormones they add, and antibiotics aren't good for my kids I think it may be

playing a role in my growing teen daughters attitude, although most comes with

the age but Ill do anything to help. - Good Eats all and God Bless!

I'm a 3rd generation lacto ova vegetarian and raising a 4th generation. Our

faith, which is Seventh Day Adventist, encourages a vegetarian diet, as part of

keeping our bodies healthy. I love cooking. i love our recipes here and in

the many cookbooks, I enjoy browzing and cooking from. Some of my favorite

cookbooks are fundraiser cookbooks that different Seventh Day Adventist have put

out. Many of the recipes have meat substitutes in the entree section and I

enjoy using these products and we've never eaten meat.

 

Happy Vegetarian cooking everyone.

For as long as this group has been around. I believe it will be 3

years in Sept. and this group got me off my cigarettes too with all the

encouragement and members stories. I actually never thought I could

conquer neither of the two. This is my support group.

It's been about 3 whole months for me **blush**, although I have

never been much of a meat eater. Before I was married (about 13

years ago), I didn't really eat much meat. My husband was a " meat

and potato " guy. He has since eaten healthier, while I have eaten

worse. It finally got to the point that I felt like doodoo. I

decided the make some changes, then finally made the move to a full

commitment to vegetarianism. My family is a lot closer too, but not

there, yet.

4 1/2 years for me. My health is so much better since I quit poluting my body

with that other stuff.

I've been a vegan for 18 months, was vegetarian for 40 years and was

moving towards becoming vegetarian practically from birth. At school

lunches I would flick my meat onto someone else's plate when they

weren't looking, or else I would find some other way of disposing of

it. As the local ice rink was only open to the public on Sunday

lunchtimes, I took up ice skating to avoid Sunday lunches at home as

that was the one meal where meat was guaranteed to be served (my mother

fondly believing that we were eating meat at school.) When I was 14 I

went to stay with an exchange family in France and gave up meat

altogether after a trip to the supermarket where the family purchased

rabbit meat which still had little fluffy legs attached (sorry TMI, I

know.) The only thing I have missed since becoming vegan is parmesan

cheese - the vegan substitute just really doesn't do it for me at all.

That means that I have cut back dramatically on the amount of Italian

food that I eat because it just isn't the same without a sprinkling of

parmesan.

I sprinkle on a little nutritional yeast and it does the trick for me

in place of parmesan

When I was in grade school I would only eat chicken and fish because

the thought of eating any other meat repulsed me. My family would grill

my boca burger alongside their regular burgers! I've always loved

eating veggies just as much or more than any meat dish, but never got

serious enough to try a vegetarian diet. It's really hard when meat is

a main course in all of our family dinners! About two months ago I took

a pledge to eat vegetarian after hearing about the cows from norcal. I

felt healthier and got to try some really yummy recipes that I would've

never found otherwise. I've had a few meals since with meat in it

since, but I'm trying to work it out of my diet. I think the hardest

part is going to be avoiding fish because I just love sashimi. Ahhh,

but I have hope for me. =0)

I have been one for 2 years now and have had a great deal of help and

support from you all.

Thanks.
