No prob. I just asked because there was someone there with your screen name and they were from Pennsylvania to boot, I think.Originally Posted by skyylark
Also, Optimus, I prepare all of my own food these days. I've been preparing a lot of burritos, chili sin carne, and fajitas lately. It's all really low in fat and high in fiber. I use seitan as a beef substitute.

Candied Walnuts
INGREDIENTS
¼ cup honey
1½ tablespoons whiskey
1¾ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups raw unsalted pecans or walnuts
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
In a large bowl, mix together the honey, whiskey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Add the nuts and mix well. Spread the coated nuts on a large well-greased baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes. Stir and scrape them up every 5 minutes with a spatula and return the pan to the oven until the nuts smell good and are deep glossy brown. Be careful not to burn them. Remove the pan from the oven and scrape the nuts up with a spatula occasionally as they are cooling or they all stick together and to the sheet. When the nuts are cool, dry, and set, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

i'm going to try that right away!
They go great on a wedge of iceberg with bleu cheese.
Hi Skylark!
i also am a vegetarian and i eat a whole range of everything, sometimes i eat fish for the omega and the odd eggs but thats about it.
I am much healthier and happier since my liver and other ailments have literally dissapeared over this past year
You must eat cheese and milk daily as well as make sure you have some pulses like lentils etc or beans to replace the meat.
I will be back later on as i need to rush off, ciao for now!!
Here are the benefits of eating less meat:

I had some vegan Tacos recently at a restaurant in so Cal, I've been missing Tacos for awhile now since I hadn't had one in about 12 years. I need to get a list of everything that was in them, they were mouthgasmic.
Dude, just have a regular taco like a normal person.
They're delicious and it's not like they'll kill you
There's this awesome taco place by where I live called Cali Burrito. They have amazing vegan/vegetarian dishes. My favorite is called the Humbolt. It's smoked tofu, rice, black beans, sour cream and veggies. mmm it's delicious.If you're ever in Eastern PA you should check it out.
Make sure you supplement yourself with some B12. It's an important one. Only comes from animals, though.
I'd like to buy y'all a shredded beef chimichanga
I just made this chili and it's really good (after reading the bullfight thread, I'm off meat for awhile). I'd leave out the vegie burger crumbles though.

Haha I didn't understand til I read Corky's recipe. That's the guy who's obsessed with the Big Mac right? Tell you a story since I mentioned Big Mac. I know someone who lives in Oregon who used to work for a lumber mill. Guess who one of their big buyers of wood chips was? MCDONALD'S! You're eating wood, Corky, not meat.
As far as my recipe to reiterate, you really need to leave out the veggie burger. I don't know what they were thinking with that.
