Hello Everyone,

My name is Sylvia and after 8 years of slowly straying away from

being a Lacto-Ovo I have decided to get back into this healthy

lifestyle and have gone strictly vegetarian now. I have had two

family members die of cancer and I realized that I needed to take my

life and my health back into my own hands.

I am also on a low-fat diet because I am obese. I supplement my

daily fat intake with Hemp Seed Oil.

One of the things I miss most is my mayonnaise. Anyone have a good

recipe to share? I am home alone all day and prefer to use flash

frozen foods that are quick and aimpe and tend to be drawn to Amy's

Foods. I bought and tried their California Veggie Burgers this week

and really enjoyed it. But when it came time to spread on the mayo

for some moisture I thought, " Hummm...that's a no-no now so what in

the world can I use? " Then I thought of hummus and it was great.

Threw on a little onion and had a nice " hamburger. " Here is a recipe

I found on the net for a really good hummus:

2 C Chickpeas

1/4 C lemon juice

3-4 large cloves roasted garlic

1/2 t ground cumin

1/2 t coriander

1/2 t black pepper

1/4 t cayenne pepper

salt to taste

enough veggie broth to make right consistency

 

Process all in food proccesor and puree till smooth

I am also looking for a tried and true really good homemade veggie

stock. I sort of know how to begin but need a little reminder.

For the time being I am using " Better that Bouillon Vegetable

Base. " It is really good but rather expensive. Do any of you have a

recipe for a vegetable base?

Nice to meet you all,

Sylvia
