OOOHH SO HAPPY!!!!

[Guest guest]

Ok ya'll have me heart and soul. I found meatless pork rinds!!! OMG they taste

BETTER than the real thing!! I went to the 7th Day Advenst Book and Nutrition

store in Montgomery someone here mentioned and I could have spent a lot more

than I did, but I wanted to start small. Little boy, my toddler Darian, had

other ideas. He saw the dried fruits and nuts and snuck in some dried papaya

before I could stop him! We also found these granola/fruit bar things that cost

about and are about the same size as the homemade fudge you find in southern gas

stations. LOL (I don't know why either.) At any rate it was GOOD! I bought it

for little boy and I had to beg him for a little taste. I personally couldn't

tell it was carob and not chocolate chips. That surprised me too, but it was so

yummy! I am just flippin about these Vegetable skins though. I snarffed down

the whole bag and I have only been at my puter maybe 5 minutes! Looking at it,

it's just fried dough with MSG groan, but oohhhh so lovely!!!! So now if the

tvp, and nutritional yeast are even half as yummy I will be fine. I tested

myself today eating out at Applebees I didn't find one single meatless dish

besides a side salad. So I asked for the soup and the chicken penne without the

chicken. WOW!! I am sooo going to recreate the chickenless penne at home. I

loved the taste of all those cheeses with the pico de gallo on top. I went to

the farmers market and blew a wad of money on tomatoes, ok not so much money,

but can we say marinara!!! I will be cooking up sauces tonight to store in the

fridge and I got some green ones for my favorite fried green tomatoes. Darian

demanded strawberries and apples and corn. I had to have shelling peas also

as it keeps me close to my grandmother. They gave me a deal since I bought so

much from that stall. I also went to wally world picked up some extra firm tofu

and some soy chorizo and some mexican white non-cheese. So help me out ladies!!

(I'm thinking burritos with refried beans and homemade tortillas!) However I'll

be on asking what the heck to I do with tvp and nutritional yeast when i get

closer to using them. lol Oh I also got some huge protabellos and some of the

meatless corndogs to see if the kids will eat those. I am in love ya'll! I will

be busy cooking up a storm! Thank you so much for giving me the courage to step

out of my comfort zone and experiment again! I didn't buy anything overly

expensive, but I was suprised at the fact I didn't have to!
