there is one vitamin, B12, that Vegans can't get but if you chew one

Flintstone's complete every six months or so, you're fine.

thanks! I have no idea about cottage cheese, I never liked the stuff

personally, I think it's the texture, but I'll keep my eye out! I

love soy yogurt too and soy pudding also...finished the last of my

chocolate 4-pack today Love eating pudding and yet still feeling

healthy while eating it. I bought some soy-rice-yeast tri-milk

today, I'll try it out tomorrow morning with breakfast. Wasn't

worried about a heated discussion so much as the fact that the

group's main page states a respect for different types of

vegetarianism and I support that and was afraid that my question

might incite some responses that may seem pro/contra one or the

other, hence the email invitation. I found out today one of my

favorite german comedian/actor (Dirk Bach) who is a vegetarian and

loves to eat but hates cooking now has a cookbook out! That amuses

me so I'll have to go to the bookstore tomorrow to see what sort of

recipes are in it.

once in a great while I add some grated paremsan on spaghetti or

sharp cheddar grated on a tostada with no problems. You do need to

refrigerate the soy and rice cheese. I never cared for milk but I

do miss cottage cheese, haven't found a replacement for that yet.

The vegan cheese cake I make is wonderful and I do enjoy soy yogurt

is also very tasty. I use eggs and dairy when I bake so there's

just no way I could go completely vegan. I do buy the cage free

eggs though. Oh I don't think we will get into a heated discussion

here. It's good hearing thoughts on this. PLEASEEEEEEEE let me

know if anyone has a replacement for cottage cheese (:-)))))

soy pudding is sooooo easy to make!! especially chocolate! =) (thanks

for the idea... I think I'll make some for tonight!!)

 

my family is vegan... although I resisted that " title' for many many

months after we made the changes to our diet... Since we have two

kids, and we all made the decision as a family to cut out dairy & eggs

(we were already vegetarian at the time) ... we used the term

" vegan " ... still... I worried that I'd be ridiculed if I made a mistake

and unknowingly ate something not on the 'vegan' list..

 

 

now I don't so much care what I'm called ... I eat delicious food, and

none of it comes from animals... and that works for us! =)

 

And I LOVE to bake, and simply use soy , rice, almond etc in place of

milk and I use flax eggs for the egg and have not had any problems

baking that way...

I think that was one of my biggest worries when we decided to go cut

dairy & eggs

=) peace,

Jenni

Thanks. I have a lot of questions (despite being vegetarian for

awhile I think I could still come up with a new one everyday). I try

to find information online first, but if I can't find an answer or

something's not clear this group always has the answer! I'll let you

know about the cookbook-from everything I'm reading about it, it

looks like actual complicated recipes. They're apparently his

favorite recipes as far as foods he enjoys to eat...I just doubt

he's ever actually cooked any of them, lol.

 

Colorful Noodle Casserole with a side salad at the cafeteria

tomorrow! MMMMmmmmmmmmm!

Its so cool that you decided as a family! Seems to me, tho, that it'd be

equally cool if you decided together, not labled by some outside " authority, " as

to what and how to eat healthily and humanely!
