Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I'm new to this group. I am looking for a good support system. I am vegetarian and would like to make the move to vegan through the next several months. I have NO support for my dietary decisions in my " real " life so to speak so I need online help!! I won't post very often probably but I just like to read what others have to say and learn what its like to be vegan. I am assuming its not very different from any other diet except people seem to judge more often which I've noticed with just being vegetarian. So, the point I'm trying to make is Hi! I'm Jen, I'm 26 I live in Maryland near Baltimore. I have a meat eating husband and son....I wish to help them eat healthier (aka: meatless) at least at home but I've yet to find any recipes they like. So happy I found this group!!

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi Jen Welcome to Vegan Chat. It's a shame you have no local support. There are people on here with all kinds of information though.

I used to live in Baltimore but have since moved to Pittsburgh. Have you tried the "stealth" technique? That's where you introduce meals with "just a little meat for flavoring" and then gradually eliminate the meat. For example, I often make egg drop soup into a complete meal by throwing in about a pound of veggies plus strips of firm tofu. My family no longer notices that the bits of pork or chicken I used to include aren't there anymore. You can actually take just about ANY vegan recipe and add a bit of meat (or eggs, cheese, etc.) just so they'll try it. Then you remove the meat and they'll probably still like it, especially if the dish is spicy to begin with. Sneaky, but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
