Lazy cook question

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

 

Finally getting around to saying hello, been busy absorbing all this

wonderful information.

I' m not new to vegan but relatively new to gluten free diet. I was

diagnosed with celiac spruce

about a year ago. As I' m learning about that , I realise the bundle

of other problems that can

be associated with CD. I suffered 4 1/2 decades before I was

diagnosed. Since I was a

child everyone was telling me to stop worrying about things, the

docs said I had a nervous

stomach. It goes on and on and on, I never did find out what I was

so worried about.

 

I drank my powdered soy protein drink every day,you folks show me

differently, I' ve

been learning alot here. I' m glad to have found this site ,thank

you for having it....

The recipes you have in files are great.

 

I' m what you call a lazy cook, my cooking sucks, YAK...and I

somehow ended up with

gourmet taste buds, yes ladies " I admit " I 'm a lazy cook..but

I 'm still learning though..

My question is about crock pot cooking, the recipe Kim posted last

week, crock pot

minestrone was great! Toss everything in the pot and go about your

day, come back a

few hours later and it' s all done, like having a chef make it for

you. Now I can handle

this... I buy food in its natural state as much as possible, nothing

with fillers, starches

etc....Is it possible to use dry beans in the crock pot ? After they

are soaked, would I

need to cook them on top of stove before putting them in the crock

pot ? I want to

avoid using can beans..

 

someday I'll be.....

 

Still learning,

Coping with Change

 

The division point between those who go on to lead a good life, no

matter what the disease

may be, and those who do not is accepting that your life has

changed, It is a process of evolution.

You must decide to live your life as well as it can be, given this

change. There definitely can

be a grieving process - tears and anger can be normal. No one can

talk you out of that period.

But there has to come a point where you close the door on life as it

was - and go forward with

life as it is . ( Sue Goldstein, founder of the Westchester Celiac

Sprue Support Group )
