Re: Vegi diet - kirsten/

[Guest guest]

Not at all, I love cous cous too and like you have become addicted to

hot/spicy foods over the last few years! Veggie food was really bland

until about 8 yr. ago when suddenly it became trendy. Veggie chilli

especially with loads of salsa! DS loves all of the veggie

alternative too as our freezer contains, 1 frozen chicken (likely to

stay that way until someone else volunteers to cook it) and tons of

quorn sausages, fillets, pieces, mince etc. The only thing that

really disappoints me is that the ready made quorn meals don't contain

enough to feed a fly and normally only a few bits of quorn (eg the

quorn fajits.) I love quorn and it doesn't taste like chicken! I

used to thing that chicken flavour crisps tasted like chicken. LOL!

I know I should make it myself but time is always tight!

I have however put on about 7lbs since starting to eat meat, so what

does that say about healthy options(don't want to start an argument or

anything)

:-)))))
