Hi! So glad I found this group! I'm what I call "mostly" vegetarian. I still eat a few eggs because I know the chickens that lay them--they're free-rangers at a friend's farm--and the occasional fish. I'm looking towards becoming vegan, but really need to learn how to cook/make plant-based meals.

I'm in my sixties (when did that happen? ), retired RN, and live in the mountains of NC. Love to get outside to hike. I had a tooth removed on Thursday and am on a liquid/soft diet. I find it amusing that all the "okay" foods listed are sort of dairy based--which wreaks havoc with my sinuses among other things. I've been trying to dodge it by using veg broth/soups but it's getting old, lol. Anyway, I'll get thru it, it's just a waiting game.

P.S. Whoever put together the resource list--many thanks. I've ordered the America's Test Kitchen book already!

Happy April All🌸 Not currently vegan/vegetarian but curious and leaning. I’ve spent a few years in the past vegetarian but dirty veg eating a lot of fake products instead of real food. Always looking for new recipes and ideas to add to my repertoire to help make the transition completely.

Hi all. I was here awhile ago, but have recently started to look around the group again. I am not vegetarian or vegan, but I am trying to cut down on the amount of meat I eat. Which is why I loved this group before. You were always so welcoming even to those of us who have not given up the meat totally. So thank you.

Maybe with the loss of the newsfeed the forums will grew as important tools for connection.

Welcome!
