I bought a beautiful head of cauliflower last week for 5 dollars and told the cashier to handle it carefully, it was made of gold...this is a rough winter to be a vegetarian!!

mego, i know it is sick, but i can't help laughing about the deer jerky and your comments....low in fat but high in deer meat...i guess we have to laugh sometimes to keep our sanity...i remember once my mom invited me to dinner when they were having rock shrimp...i said thanks but no thanks mom because remember i am very…

there are a bunch of great hummus recipes out there...i usually used dried garbanzo beans instead of the canned ones....they cook up easily...and, i for the first time did roasted garbanzo beans last night and they were out of this world!!!...(yuckky this morning though..)...i go to a restaurant where they also make white…

i just saw a suggestion to put hummus into deviled eggs instead of using the egg yolks...now that sounds like a winner to me!!!!...love hummus!!!

18 years ago when i became a vegetarian, my mother was so upset and constantly telling me that it was not a healthy lifestyle and would be harmful to my health....well, all those years i have been healthy...(overweight, but healthy...now i am working on the weight issue..gaining the weight was my own fault, way too many…

i am going to try this...thanks so much for the suggestion!!!

for him to complete 23 miles in the alloted time was a major accomplishment... for him to go back later and finish the miles he didn't do was a personal integrity thing... for biggest loser to knowingly give out incorrect information and stage dane's completing the marathon was just plain old wrong!!!...viewers would have…

the beauty of this site is that so many different ideas and opinions can be and are expressed.....i def. eat my workout calories...plus a few extra some days....i am not noticing big pound losses, but am noticing that my clothes keep getting bigger...i suspect most of us who have a lot to lose have messed up our…

thanks for the explanation on the steaming of asparagus....i pretty much roast most of my veggies these days anyway cause i like them that way the best...and i do several pans of them at the same time then have them for several days...

i am going to try making that red lental dahl...thanks for telling us about it...

i agree with you on the soy...i have read articles about it and thyroid...i have been a vegetarian for 18 years and eat a lot of soy too...i know you will find other things out there to give you your protein...i applaud you for being vegan...my heart keeps pushing me in that direction, but i just haven't been able to get…

i agree with everything everyone has already said...and will throw in the old saying "that which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger"...not letting the mean things others might say or not get to you and take your own personal power away makes you stronger...your friend stays in the relationship because there is something in…

well, how did it go?...been wondering about you and hoping it went well...

i think a raw food diet would be one of the most difficult endeavors you could do...but also a powerful physcial and emotional experience....it would require a lot of research and work...but from people i know who are raw food advocates, it is such a healthy way to eat...don't set yourself up for failure if you have never…

hope your colonoscopy goes well and you have a restful day tomorrow...i go to the doctor tomorrow for a colonoscopy consult...so i guess i too will be gagging on that foul stuff before long...blessings to you, let us know how it went...
