Newbie here Hi Sylvia

[Guest guest]

Welcome into the group. Why don't you try Veganaise and use a small amount?

There are many of us using it and the taste to me is better than regluar mayo.

It's vegan also.

Have fun in our recipe section, I'm sure you will find many recipes low fat in

the salad and grain area.

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
