Hi Zach picky eaters

[Guest guest]

How about the ones who can't stand their food to touch  LOL  That's my sister.

My plate looks like a hand grenade hit it, everything is all mashed together. 

I'm not a picky eater at all.

The seed is in bloom, will it meet an early doom or survive in a tranquil sea?

Does it face an early end, will it find a real friend, should it be called

humanity? Will creation of man bring death by his hand or will life be his

destiny? The Seed - Rare earth

when we started out I started by making several side dishes like a

bulgar wheat pilaf, two or three veggies and maybe a quesadilla with

mushrooms, garlic, onions and some pesto on top.  Then I would allow

them to add a grilled chicken breast or a piece of fish to their meals

if they wanted.  Over time, (in our case it was only a few weeks) we

limited meat consumption to weekends only (I HATE the smell of flesh

cooking so they would have to cook it if they wanted it).

great and their " meatballs " , " Chicken " nuggets and patties as well as

their crumbles are so delicious that when we integrated these into our

diets, the consumption of " real meat " products stopped for the most part.

meat! (Out of respect for my wishes he rarely ate it near me)

because he was a vegetarian! (I could not believe my ears!) My brother

said " It's alright, your not at home, you can eat meat... " (Gotta

love your family) He told him, " No, man I gave that mess up a while

back. "   He went on to tell my family his testimony of vegetarianism

and encouraged them to give up meat too!  (This is the same man who

the summer before had bought rib-eye steaks to the family picnic so

the guys could have " man-food " )

> Your husband may not ever come around, most people are also afraid

of change and the unknown so I strongly encourage you to respect him

and his choices (even though you don't agree), while you make your

journey.  Most people believe that vegetarian food is bland, boring

and not filling,  You will have to show them otherwise by introducing

tasty, healthy " side-dishes " in abundance. The recipe files will help

you to do this easily. I wish you all the best, and remember that

being a vegetarian was YOUR choice (a great one at that) and the

vegetarian lifestyle encourages respect for the dignity of life, that

would include those who do not choose to share your beliefs.
