I'm new and here's one of my favorite recipes

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jackie, and I am a

chubby vegetarian. I used to be much healthier, but I unfortunately

started some bad food habits by eating a lot of unhealthy and fatty

vegetarian foods (french fries, chocolate, pizza, etc). I started a

blog yesterday to journal my meal-planning, recipes, and trials with

once-a-month vegetarian and vegan cooking. Hopefully, if I force

myself to write down and reflect on what I am eating, I will make

better choices.

 

I am already excited by all of the great info and recipes I found in

searching your old posts and in the files section. I look forward to

contributing to this community and supporting other vegetarians as we

aspire to a healthier lifestyle.

 

Thanks,

-Jackie

Woman's Day magazine recipe); I even had it for dinner tonight:

Welcome Jackie.

I am also a chubby vegetarian. :-)

 

I'm glad you've found our information helpful already. Your recipe sounds good.

I throw together veggie fajitas quite often myself and cumin is a key

ingredient!

 

Glad to have you.

Absolutely, Pam! OR, at least, that's why we came here in the first place - ie.

being vegetarian and being chubby - although some might since have stopped being

chubby and continue here because it's such a nice group

 

Love and hugs, Pat
