Thanks for the tips. My hubby says I'...Dear QD,<br />Thanks for the tips. My hubby says I'm doing an adequate job of "combining proteins" - he knew what you meant by that, having been a vegetarian before. I just intuit these things, somehow sensing we need more of this and that. I am open in the future - once I feel like I've mastered the vegetarian life - of reintroducing naturally raised meat in more measured proportions. The challenge of cooking without meat has had some unexpected positive effects which I would like to cement in place as new habits before re-introducing meat. I'm enjoying food more than I have in years for some reason, likely because I've been forced to wake up my creative cooking skills. For so long it's been meat, veggie, starch....meat, veggie, starch....<br /><br />My husband REALLY wants to remain vegetarian. We will take it as it comes. You aren't the first friend whose given up vegetarianism for health reasons, so I mean to keep my options open.Laurie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15840896949617719814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-16510960086776956662010-03-22T11:55:32.805-07:002010-03-22T11:55:32.805-07:00Looks delicious!

I am smiling wryly because after being veg for nearly 10 years, (my husband for 16) we are considering going back to selective meat consumption due to health issues. Just be very sure you combine your proteins and get adequate nutrients, and you will be fine! By the way, the BEST "chicken" is by Quorn. You can buy patties and tenders that are so tasty and can be grilled or cooked however you like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-70439550016187936752010-03-17T20:53:26.304-07:002010-03-17T20:53:26.304-07:00Thanks Judy!

Or use leftovers to make fried rice...just saute some onions, etc., and toss in the rice and an egg or two and stir till eggs are done. I like cold brown rice with milk and cinnamon and sugar. <br /><br />http://revel217.blogspot.com/search/label/recipeWhiteStonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345496310218224780noreply@blogger.com
