Newbie Vegans and Veterans

Beginning anything can be daunting.  Think of things that you believe you will miss the most.  Perhaps sandwiches, pizza, or ....

Here is a brief list of thoughts and products that I have found to be helpful.

"Lunch meat"  Tofurky Peppered
Rice Cheese - many flavors also melts well.
Colorado Cracked Wheat Bread
Soy milk, coconut milk or other alternative, add choc. to slowly adjust.
Frozen soy meatballs with sauce add broccoli and/or.

Find a local natural food store -- locally Lori's Natural Foods and there are others here.
Farmer's Markets

Watch local PBS station for cooking shows, Christina Cooks for example.

Most important thing I learned is to simply begin and be kind and patient with self.  Not to be concerned initially with calories, pay attention to nutrition.  Coconut oil has lots and lots of fat, would suggest be very cautious there.

And, see comments from others with much more experience than I. Also, loving this and likely will not return.

And, so happy to be back.  A presentation has not been scheduled, book is a fledgling.  Thank you all for following, and to God goes the credit and the glory.

Please feel free to share as this is a blog which flows with need - perhaps share recipes.

Good morning Susan---Betty of Greece NY follower of yours for over 3 yrs. I am now a vegan after my doctor said to lose weight. Enjoying it very much so many choices to choose from. Have you tried baked tofu with pineapple bbq sauce out of this world.

The picture is outstanding with the cross formed by the son as God is shining over the city and all of us. My family loves it.

Enjoy your post look forward to hearing more and any tips you can share on being a vegan as it has been about 8 months now and love trying new things.

Have a good weekend and reading and seeing more from you.

Your photographer has out done themselves once again.

Namaste
