Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hi, I'm Lyn, new to the group, new to vegetarianism. Thank you for the invite. Although I like to cook, I am no chief..LOL. Also I am just starting to try various veggie products, etc. I hope to be able to round out my menus with a lot of help and your experiences I do have a quick, easy recipe that I tried just yesterday for taco salad. 1 package LightLife Smart Ground (actually could have used 1/3 or 1/2 for only one person.. but hey leftovers) 1 pack of taco seasoning 1 teaspoon of oil (if not using a non-stick skillet) Tomato Salsa Cheese (I prefere shredding block cheese) Lettuce Taco shells or chips Other toppings of choice Cook the Smart Ground, add taco packet, stir. Add salsa either in the mix or on top Add toppings you like. It's quick, easy, and full of veggie protein. Yummy! JL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hi Lyn and welcome! I have been a veggie for oh maybe 4 months now, and I will never go back. I think you meant chef and typo'd chief? LOL, well I am neither a chef or chief alike you, LOL. Just take it easy. There are lots of recipes for vegetarians but don't overwhelm yourself. What I do is when I make dinner for all of the flesh eaters I make them their flesh, and I eat the other stuff. I try to make JUST ONE item that is an extra special treat for myself, and then just eat the side dishes that I have prepared with the meal. Mac and cheese is a big one. Buttered stringbeans, peas in garlic butter etc. I also got a breadmaker, and try to center the meal around the bread rather than anything else. Breadmakers really rock. Don't worry about the carbs, we should not (in my opinion) cut out carbs. I found that when I became a vegetarian I was eating healthier and my body adjusted, even though my carbs increased I lost 20 pounds and am where I want to be weightwise. A friend of mine never could gain weight, and she gained weight when she became a veggie. I think it's very balancing, But anyway, take your time and don't overwhelm yourself and blessings to you, Chanda - Lyn Wednesday, March 30, 2005 12:49 PM New to group Thanks for the Invite Hi, I'm Lyn, new to the group, new to vegetarianism.
