Thank you all so much

[Guest guest]

I just want to say thank you all so much for helping me with the iron issue, and

for all the great ideas on cheap eats. I haven't completely converted over, but

we already eat so much more vegetarian and the kids haven't even noticed! lol I

have begun trying new things and have been encouraged to try foods I haven't

before like the split pea soup. (Which is a new favorite of mine, kids still

don't like soup much.) I had already begun somewhat before joining the group by

using only vegetable broth where chicken broth is called for - like in my gram's

greens recipes. As soon as I can hit the grocery store I had planned on getting

some tofu to try the kung pou tofu recipes I had seen listed that look soooo

good! I also want to try the lentil loaf here soon. I have the ingredients for

that already on hand. I love looking through my old fashioned cookbooks

(many are over 100 years old) and seeing how much was vegetables, so I have some

oldies, some I have made already using vegetable broth or frying in evoo instead

of lard, that kind of things. Just baby steps I guess, but it's so new and fun.

You all have opened up a whole new world of foods for me from quorn and tvp

(?) to actually knowing what to do with the tofu instead of watching it go bad

in my fridge. Thank you again.
