Are you still doing this? If so, I have the containers (still wrapped) and would send them to you for free - let me know & we'll figure out how to connect

Just a note on the cheese sauce I posted: be sure to use yellow potatoes, not russets. I've heard the taste is not as good with russet potatoes.

Amazing cheese sauce - this site also has an incredible fat-free gravy recipe. http://www.brandnewvegan.com/recipes/dips-sauces-and-gravy/amazing-vegan-cheese-sauce

Here's the link. This website also has the best fat free vegan gravy I've ever had - actually the best gravy ever, vegan or non. http://www.brandnewvegan.com/recipes/dips-sauces-and-gravy/amazing-vegan-cheese-sauce

Small town woes (& victories) - I was in line at Safeway today & had a bag of alternative cheese. The guy in front of me made a comment about Daiya (where it was) and then asked if I'd tried cashew cheese. I told him I had & that I also like the potato/carrot cheese. It was like an instant bonding moment. I think we were…

It is AMAZING if I do say so myself :)

I've never tried it but was excited to see a couple of them for sale at the local Safeway. I live in a very small town and when Albertson's took over Safeway we started to see a lot more vegan-ish items. Yay!

The beautiful Oregon Coast

The rice rolls - are these like rice krispy squares? Where did you get them?

We've had lots of spring here. In fact I was super excited yesterday when we got snow! and a snow day at work! Back to cold for now. My daffodils and hyacinths are blooming and other bulbs are bulbing :) I also ordered seed potatoes this weekend for my first try at gardening in recent history! I'm excited to see if this…

I love this one - make sure to use yukon golds, not russets for the sauce: brandnewvegan.com/recipes/pasta-rice/vegan-mac-and-cheese

Disgusted - I can't lose a pound if I sold it to someone. Working out 1/2 hour/day, been sick the last couple. I even gained a 1/2 #. Eating at what I should be. grrrrrrrrrrrrr

We live in a small coastal town. Some places look at me like I am insane when I even ask for a garden burger! Drives me crazy when I hear people say "just talk to the chef, they love challenges" - heck, we don't have chefs we have line cooks that only cook what is on the menu. Sometimes I try to get just a baked potato &…

Hi all, I'm a 50+ bean counter from the Oregon Coast. I've been vegan with occasional slip ups mostly involving non-vegan chips for 7+ years. I've been on the wagon since the beginning of the year. I slip into emotional eating mostly and have a hard time stopping once I've started. I'm married & have 3 cats and love…

I have friends that are liking my updates but I can't figure out how they are seeing my information or how to see theirs. ??

I wish I liked avocado... :(

for facts www.nutritionfacts.org is also great Dr. Gregor

Hi all, I might be the heaviest of the group - 5'6+ (although am shrinking) and currently at 197. I had a high of 224 last year but got to 197 fairly quickly but hang around at this # no matter what I seem to do. I am currently working out 4-5x week (aerobics or 21 day fix) and watching what I eat - around 1200-1300…

I love pumpkin seeds - it hits the spot that chips would normally hit, that salty crunchy place. It is higher in fat though but it is my guilty pleasure. When I'm really feeling the need for protein I go for peanut butter, usually on toast or some straight up almonds.

On the weekends I love tofu scramble & hash browns

my dr has been pushing it for a while so I'm finally trying it. I'm a vegan, 53 y/o woman and can't seem to get below 194 these days. I've started eating only 9-5 which may be too big a window but I do seem to be not as hungry. The thing I can't seem to get past is all the years of hearing how important eating breakfast…

30 day challenge - great for newbies http://www.30dayveganchallenge.com/

I always have corn, fruit and homemade beans in my freezer. Oats, millet, tofu, potatoes are always around too.

Many days it's a smoothie. Often it could be overnight oats or millet. I also make my own granola so that sneaks in sometimes too.

I am vegan & have been for 7-ish years. My dr is totally on board. No problem getting protein as plants have plenty. (ever seen a protein-deficient cow?) There are lots of websites out there that can give you information if you are curious or feel free to message me. You don't need to do the mock meat route if you don't…

ooh! I just made it work. the part in the health section of the watch didn't have the sources turned on. yay! now it looks like I'm not eating enough. hmmm

I've searched & searched but the help section says effective August they don't support it. At least that's how I read it. I'll keep looking, thanks. It was working last year but it doesn't seem to be working anymore - or maybe I'm not walking enough

I thought I saw somewhere that MFP doesn't connect to apple watch?

just came back to MFP after about a year. I'd love to connect to other vegans in this group if you keep it
