Hi all,

I have just joined the group. I'm a 56-year-old guy who has been vegetarian for

just 5 months (and loving it). My reason for this change is a concern for

animals - that my own health will benefit is a bonus. I stopped eating all meat

cold turkey (sorry for that). No eggs either but am still weaning off cheese,

which for me is the toughest food to forgo. I also do not eat honey. This is a

change for the rest of my life so I'm adapting carefully to avoid relapses. My

goal is to become a true vegetarian. One of the experiences I'm enjoying most

since going vegetarian is, believe or not, food prep. I've never been much of a

cook but this diet change is forcing me to spend the time, get creative and

enjoy the process! Looking forward to reading some good info and advice and

hope, once I've gained a little knowledge, I can contribute as well. Cheers,

Hi! My name is Cheri. I have just joined this group ( been accepted) and

have not even read my first post yet. You have asked me to tell you a

little about myself so I will though I look forward to reading your forum to

get a better idea of your members and what you normally talk about. Forgive

me if I say something that is not acceptable, not yet knowing what I

should about your forum.

 

I guess, I am primarily interested in eating the most healthy I can.

Being in the best health I can be in and age as gracefully functioning as

possible. I am hoping to learn about different foods and preparations of

vegetables. I am a simple cook, and I love to get ideas on how to use

vegetables differently. I will share what I cooked mostly this summer, though

I

do not measure and often vary what I throw together. I am sorry I cannot be

more " precise " in my " recipe " .

 

 

Cheri's roasted vegetable melody.

 

I use a large roasting pan ( I always cook for an army, even though it's

just my husband and I. We do love to eat and love having leftovers to eat )

Oven at 325.

 

I spray the pan with olive oil type pam then layer with this mix:

Small broccoli florets ( around 5 cups or so)

pour a little Extra Virgin Olive oil over the florets

sprinkle a can of sliced olives over that

slice zucchini ( about 5-6 small/medium ) over that

sprinkle another can of sliced olives over that

cut up 5 large portabella mushrooms over that

then slice up 4 red peppers and 3 orange and 2 yellow peppers into strips

over that.

I drizzle a little more olive oil over this and roast in a 325 degree

oven. Covered for the first hour, then uncovered until the peppers look

roasted.

 

* I also usually sprinkle garlic and onion powder through each layer.

Hi! My name is Cheri.

Welcome, Cheri! Your roasted veggies sound great. I'm not big on measuring

either, so I understand
