Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Robin, I like your chili recipe. What spices do you use?

If any of these sound interesting to you, let me know and I will post the recipes. We may be able to help you turn family favorites into meatless dishes. The way to eat healthy, with out without meat, is to eat lots of whole grains and a rainbow of fruits and veggies every day (drink lots of water, too). Today I made chili in the crockpot (beans, tomatoes, garlic, onion, mushroom, pulverized cauliflower) , it is thick an spicy and really good. I served it will whole wheat noodles and cheese, and put two quarts in the freezer. Burger and fries: veggie burger (I like Boca, my spouse likes Gardenburger, my daughter likes Amy's) on a whole grain bun; baked sweet potato fries. On the weekends I cook brown rice in the rice cooker and freeze portions in wax bags in a big zipper bag. Weeknight dinners are often stirfied veggies (I buy frozen, cut) and tofu, with a jarred or homemade sauce, over rice that has been thawed in the microwave. Another quick weeknight dinner is whole pasta (small shells) mixed with ricotta, sauce (I use jarred), frozen chopped spinich, canned canelli (white kidney) beans. Robin Can anything be more ridiculous than that a man should have the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of the water, and because his ruler has a quarrel with mine. - Blaise Pascal --- On Sat, 10/4/08, Josh M <milianjosh > wrote: Josh M <milianjosh > Re: My child vegetarian @gro ups.com Saturday, October 4, 2008, 9:42 AM Just normal american food --- On Sat, 10/4/08, robin koloms <rkoloms > wrote: robin koloms <rkoloms > Re: My child vegetarian @gro ups.com Saturday, October 4, 2008, 3:18 AM Hi Josh, Congratulations on supporting your son! You will probably find that you are all healthier and more energetic without (or with less) meat in your diet. We all have tons of recipes. What types of foods does your family typically eat?

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi Cassie! I use chili powder, cumin, oregano (I was out and used provence spices instead), a teeny bit of allspice, cocoa, a little bit of salt and sugar, masa (corn flour, thickens and adds a nice flavor), cayenne pepper. Sometimes I add some beer. I usually add more chili powder, cumin and oregano as it cooks. If it's too watery, I add some dehydrated refried beans. Can anything be more ridiculous than that a man should have the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of the water, and because his ruler has a quarrel with mine. - Blaise Pascal --- On Sat, 10/11/08, Cassie Dixon <roxy87cabriolet wrote: Cassie Dixon <roxy87cabriolet Re: Robin-My child vegetarian Saturday, October 11, 2008, 10:24 PM Robin, I like your chili recipe.
