But I was more suited to the half-vegetarian, because I think there is the content of animal foods that can not be replaced by plant foodskelapa murnihttp://info-kesehatan.net/berbagai-manfaat-vco-untuk-kesehatan/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389638963547998271.post-11059950453669406522013-07-24T16:18:57.975-07:002013-07-24T16:18:57.975-07:00Great point -- and you just made me hungry for a m...Great point -- and you just made me hungry for a meal of Southern veggies!

We usually have summer dinners of Silver Queen corn, tomatoes, squash, okra and new potatoes with cornbread. Of course, we like to fry the okra - but it's minimal, well drained, and oh, so good!<br /><br />Who needs meat when the vegetables grow right down the road?Leslie Anne Tarabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02196752637270349443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389638963547998271.post-2538452669328487862013-07-22T17:48:27.448-07:002013-07-22T17:48:27.448-07:00String beans will do, too, especially if cooked wi...String beans will do, too, especially if cooked with bacon.

I can still remember my first meat and two sides dining experience in Columbia..I didn't know jello was a vegetable.<br /><br />Seriously you are doing the right things. We have been on the same journey for a while as the hubby's cholesterol was very high and much like you we like food...a lot. It was difficult at first to not do the meat, starch and over cooked green veggie thing we (insert I) grew up eating but now its usually a piece of fish and two veggies. Breakfast instead of bacon and fried eggs is oatmeal or granola. Sandwiches have been replaced with salads or wraps...It is now normal and very tasty. Sadly for us the husbands cholesterol has not dropped as nicely as chicken and waffles (to die for!) and maybe some French fries which are indeed listed as vegetables!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952908173966773292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389638963547998271.post-8241363202178668292013-07-20T23:20:06.716-07:002013-07-20T23:20:06.716-07:00It's a date, Judi.
