Good morning!

NGMama

Hello all,

I'm new to MFP and sort of new to veganism so I thought I might find some like-minded souls here.

Have a great day!

Hi Amy!

I just discovered Team Vegan a few days ago myself.

NGMama

Hi! How long have you been vegan? I'm still relatively new but I love it. :happy:

AnnaMaus

Since August 2007. I just love it!

I live in a city where fresh produce is relatively cheap (unlike the towns I lived in Florida, oddly enough!), so it's a lot easier here to eat a varied diet with lots of leafy greens and fresh fruit.

I love when I meet vegans who actually eat a healthy diet! Today my choices SUCKED but still better than most meat eaters I know! LOL

Is everyone in your house vegan? We're a mix and have food allergies as well so meal times are very interesting around here.

Hi,
I too am relatively new to veganism - just under a year. I am the only vegan but my daughter and hubby are vego's and my other daughter is an omni. Does make for interesting meal times. I have found a new interest in cooking since changing my diet - have you?

NGMama

Totaly! Now I'm not cringing and wearing rubber gloves to prepare meals. If my husband wants me, it's usually him who cooks it now. Totally amazing, he's a complete meat eater and has recently adopted a much more veg lifestyle and is feeling a lot better. Never thought I'd see the day.

I love Jae Steele's cookbooks. She's a holistic nutritionist and her recipes are vegan AND health promoting! What's your fave vegan food?

Hi Amy,

welcome to team vegan. I joined MFP 2 weeks ago. I love it. I decided to go vegan about 2 1/2 months ago and I love it. I have been reading and learning as much as possible. I really enjoyed "Becoming Vegan". Last weekend my husband and I attended a "Vegan Food Festival" in Toronto. We had so much fun and tried a real new variety of food. This week I finally found a vegan cook book that also lists the nutrition value. Can't wait to try all these new recipes and try them on my family. :bigsmile:

Hi Marie,

'Scuse my typos from this morning, had a babe in arms and just noticed them now. I have a friend who went to the Toronto festival, she said it was awesome!! I haven't read Becoming Vegan. Mine started with The Kind Diet and Skinny ***** (although I really thought a lot of their food in the end of the book was like vegan fast food). May I ask which cookbook you bought??

Have a great night,
Amy

Veganomican is a great book and I also love the Coleen Patrick Goodreau books. I too found the Skinny Bi*** in the Kitch was like fast food which is good sometimes but definately not how I would like to eat each day
