Food & Drink - 8 September 2007

Breakfast: Oatmeal w/ raw berries, raw sliced almonds mixed in.

Lunch: "Green" smoothie (lettuce, carrots, bananas, berries, watermelon, flax seeds, & wheatgrass) Don't cringe, it's actually delicious! =)

Dinner: An open-face sandwich (whole rye bread, vegan mayo, lettuce, sliced beets) I can't get enough of those, so delicious, but I'm only eating a moderate portion.
OR
Whole wheat pasta w/ olive oil or tomato sauce.

Snacks: Apples/Peaches/or Dates.

I'm 17, and at 5'10 & 140 lbs, I'd like to lose 20 lbs. Am I missing anything? Any suggestions? Tips? I walk 5 miles a day (to and from school, or work).

I used to work part-time for a bakery a couple of years ago & I have their original recipe.
It makes enough frosting for one sheet cake 9"X13", with enough extra to make roses, leaves & trim.
This is the frosting used on Birthday Cakes.

First off, let me introduce myself. I'm J.R., and I'm a Texan vegetarian (oxymoronic, I know). I chose vegetarianism not because of animal rights or environmental concerns, but because my total cholesterol peaked at over 300 (180-200 is normal). Since becoming a vegetarian only months ago, my cholesterol has dropped 60 points and my overall health has improved. When I first changed my diet, I fully intended to return to my old ways once I got healthy, but I ended up learning too much (ignorance truly is bliss) and now I have decided to stay vegetarian indefinitely, and I'm planning to switch to veganism within a few months.
When I abstained from meat for health reasons, everyone was fine with my descision, but when I announced to my family or friends that my diet had become a moral descision they looked at me like I had just spit on them. There was an immediate shift from my healthy diet to "J.R.'s ****ing stupid diet".
Everyone I know was genuinely afraid that vegetarianism was contagious, and they needed to "cure" me. They constantly try to temp me with meat (which has become completely anappetizing to me) or give me lectures about protein (I've been into powerlifting and sports nutrition since high school, my protein intake is higher than anyone I know). I haven't been preachy to anyone, and I've only talked about my diet at all when I'm asked.
Has this sort of thing happened to anyone else, if it has, how did you handle it? I don't want to step on any toes, but I won't throw away my morality for someone else to be comfortable.

Okie... so my job requires me to be on the road everyday and some days I am so busy I am not able to make it back to the office for lunch. Therefore no microwave... no hot lunch. That is not a problem really until you get tired of making meat and cheese sandwiches and pb and j sandwiches... plus cheese does not stay well even when i put two ice packs in and my sanwich ends up semi-soggy. Also I always have fruits and veggies in my lunch that is no problem. I can not eat hummus I get severe acid reflux from it and do not like any seafood so tuna is out of the question. So mainly I am asking for some protein suggestions or main ideas for lunch that do not need to be heated or can stay at room temperature. I have exhausted my brain for suggestions so I am looking to you guys!

I have even seen chefs and nutritionist make this assumption. My diet is more then just vegetables. I eat lots of fruit, nuts, seeds, herbs, legumes, and grains. My diet is very diverse!

Ok I'm 13 and want to become a vegetarian. I told my mom this a while ago and told her how I thought eating innocent animals was wrong she said I still wouldn't save the animal and it would die anyway. This made me so mad! Anyway, I *sadly* went back to eating meat because my mom wouldn't help me. So basically...

How do you get started?

Thanks!

When I pulled the tab up to open the can, the loop bent and came off. The can is still closed and completely intact only the tab is missing.

Has anyone ever heard of these? There is a woman where i live that owns a bakery shop and she makes these little chocolate covered balls that she calls "o" balls. She told me she uses a cream cheese and crushed oreo mix, molds them into a ball,and covers them with chocolate. She had to get this recipe from somewhere! and i would like to find out the exact recipe(as in, amounts of cream cheese and oreo and how to blend them together).
CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS? Please and Thank you!!!!!

I am thinking about buying an All-Clad slow cooker. There is one for $149.00, and one for $249.00.
It seems the only difference between the two is that the more expensive one you can use on the stove and the oven.
Does anyone use one of these models?
