OT for your friends still

[Guest guest]

Well, I grow up on a farm, my father raised our own meat, all meat from

cow to pork to goat, I can tell you I did not like eating at my house,

meat was the thing on the table, but I did not eat much of it I would

give it to my brother. Who stopped eating any meat 14 years ago. I stopped

6 years ago then started when I was pregnant with my little one. I was

very sick, When I started to eat meat - I did feel better, (it was

organic meat). Now, I do not eat meat, My family does, but we do not eat

Pork. at all. My dad and mother still and I think will always eat meat,

and the stuff that was posted would not change them. I do not eat meat

or dairy for my health. My husband and my son who eat meat are very

health, my son is never sick, or my husband. My daughter who does not

care to eat meat is sick a lot. So, I am not sure how to go about

that. We also eat organic and natural as much as possible. I can not

have tomato's, wheat, dairy (sometimes I will he he he) some nuts, and

some fruit. So, I can tell you it is hard to cook for myself and my

daughter, she can not have some of the same things I can not have. She

is also very small. Well, I should stop. I guess maybe someone can give

me some tips.

Thank you all for listening, and sorry if it is too long, I have only

post 2 times and am new.

I do like getting all of the ideas for some great meals. I do have some

of my own I will have to post.

Thank you, ( i hope no hard feeling to anyone)

It sounds like you have a lot of cooking to do. We cook once a day and for only the three of us. We have found it a lot easier with a food processer - to make sauces with loads of vegetables.

 

It is important to use a wide variety of ingredients, and plenty of seeds and nuts and pulses, so that you and your daughter stay healthy. When I turned vegetarian, and again when my son turned vegan, read loads of books of veggie/vegan nutrition, and re-read them from time to time to check we are not missing out on any important items.

 

As I said in an earlier post, I too have to omit certain food items, so maybe we can help each other with recipes and suggestions.

Thank you

It is hard to keep up, and my daughter is very picky. She, will like

one thing and then the next day she does not like it. I finely got her

to eat beets, and beet greens. I love beets. I canned some beets last

year, and she loves them, until this week. I just can't win with her.

But if she does not want the meat I don't make her eat it, She does like

chicken, and loves beans. So, she has bean burritos with cheese a lot,

and (I make a lot of beans, see does not like canned beans) rice, and

she loves Quinoa. Both my kids like it when I make it into a cereal with

raisins.

 

I also but tofu into my pancake mix, if you do not use eggs, get some

soft tofu, if i am going to make a lot of pancakes, i use a whole pound

of tofu. just mash it and add it to the pancake mix, the kids don't even

know. I did this for my nephew that is just as picky as my daughter and

said, " These are as good as my moms, pancakes. " and just kept eating

them. I add some fruit and one will have a nice and light breakfast,

and it is filling. It has the protein, and one does not need all the

extra fat of bacon or sausage, if you know what I mean.

Well, thank you for you info.
