  • They are not good for you anyway. LOL We've gotten used to just not eating out. It's hard if we are traveling, but when we're home, we eat all of our meals at home. You just reminded me of something. One Thanksgiving we were looking for a mushroom gravy mix for our Tofurky loaf. We ended up buying a steak flavored one…
  • I had to come back and share what we just had for lunch. We have this meal several times a week. One thing I'm having a hard time with is that myfitnesspal adds my workout calories to my "remaining" calories. I don't want those calories to be considered. LOL I have to be more careful with my meals and watch every item. So,…
  • @bettyboop, let me know if you try the peanut sauce. It's very versatile and tastes great! I'm planning for something sweet later today. :tongue: I put a couple of peeled bananas in the freezer so I can make ice cream (no dairy involved!). I've seen lots of variations of this on the Internet. I also saw Dr. Oz do it on his…

  • I agree, if you're on the fence watch 'Earthlings' and Sir Paul McCartney "If Slaughterhouses Had Glass Walls..." (13 minutes on YouTube). Both are basically unwatchable if you are a compassionate earthling, but I watched some, and listened to the rest (almost as hard), just so I can reaffirm WHY I'm Vegan. I was also…
  • Okay, I'd like to start giving some tips that work for me. #1 Be prepared - Always, always, always have lots of fresh veggies in the house. I buy organic baby spinach, coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage), peppers, carrots, bananas, fresh pineapple, cantaloupe, blueberries, (whatever is in season) at Sam's Club a few times a…
  • I guess by posting here we are joining? :flowerforyou: I've been vegetarian since 1980 (longer than some of you have been alive, LOL), and vegan on & off throughout that time. My husband and I always feel better when we are eating a high nutrient vegan diet. Some great books to read on the subject: 'Eat To Live' Joel…
