Guest guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I am a mom and in my family of 4, I am the only vegetarian. My kids like meat and my husband just thinks I'm going through a mid-life crisis. So far, I have been cooking meat for them (it doesn't bother me - I just pretend I'm a chef in a restaurant) and I have been having other stuff (there are plenty of side dishes with vegetables on the table and I always have vegetarian soup on hand). I would like to have some support so that's why I am glad I found this group. barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hi Barbara - and welcome:) I feel the same way as my hubby thinks me eating tofu is wierd. I did make him a dish though with some in it (I substituted 1/3 of ground beef with tofu), and he didn't even notice (hehehe). I am not a full time vegan but am pretty close - we are here to support you and share yummy recipes with you on your new journey! You can also make a yummy frozen treat with silken tofu in a blender with frozen mango - It comes out like ice cream that is good for you (tricked hubby with this one too;) --- On Fri, 10/2/09, Barbara Duda <duda5280 wrote: Barbara Duda <duda5280 Recently Became Vegetarian Friday, October 2, 2009, 9:54 AM I am a mom and in my family of 4, I am the only vegetarian.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 LOL I am starting to slowly trick the kids! Going to make a few dishes this week with tempeh and tofu! Very good idea on mixing the tofu with the ground beef! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I did the *trick the kids* thing 30 years ago and your email reminded me . My son watched on tv about Rice a Roni and said " mom buy that please " . So I experimented and gave them what they thought was the " San Francisco Treat. Same with Granola. The children saw it at the store and wanted some so I made ours . At that time there was no such thing as organic, etc. but they didn't seem to notice. They were always great veggie eaters. I would set out a boul of raw veggies on the table while dinner was cooking . And like all children they would be hungry and pestering for bites..I would say " oh ok go ahead and have some raw veggies. " LOL... Life was and is just way too much fun.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'm the only non meat eater, in a family of four, as well. My son thinks I'm nuts, my mom thinks it'll pass. (My mom and step dad are older,and we all live together, I do the cooking). My step dad doesn't think one can loose weight this way. I've been in the gorup a couple of weeks,. or so. This is a good group.I cook meat for my fmaily,and it doesn't bother me to cook mine along with it.--Rhonda , Barbara Duda <duda5280 wrote: > > I am a mom and in my family of 4, I am the only vegetarian.
