Introduction

Very recently an omnivore (sorry), but choosing commitment to be vegan after realizing that it's the right thing to do and it reflects my beliefs. I do need some help though (thankfully there's seitan--I need protein). Any tips are appreciated!

What Pete is saying about this Meetup Group

Ethically and environmentally sound=vegan. If those are important to you, then join to learn more and meet others who share this awesome frame of mind.

  • Aloha and welcome. Our mission is expanding the sun-based 20 week outdoor grow cycle to a cyclical cycle of ones choosing and collapsing the food production grid down to its most local level... your habitat. Checkout one of our Saturday workshops or give us call when you're ready to take it to the next level - indoors or out. Mahalo, JP, Tiki Tony & Lana Cabana

  • No prob. I've been vegan for about 3 yrs. I take short breaks here and there. Collectively I stay vegan for 11 months out of the year probably. Looking to strive for a perfect year. It gets hard around family and friends sometimes, ya know? I feel ya on just wingin' it. I'm definitely a lazy cook (for myself). I love to order in or dine out. I'm a great cook -- but it's time consuming...especially when you're hungry. And I'm an impatient gal. :) Glad you found your way.

  • It was more of a question, not an offer. :) I read what you posted in your profile. I'd just suggest experimenting with different foods, trying new restaurants and investing in some good vegan cookbooks.

  • Hey Pete. All my respect to you for your change. Nice dog, by the way. I have been vegan for 15 years now. So, if you need any advice or to talk with someone, just let me know. Hope you can make it out to Veggie Fest this weekend. Talk soon.
