Have you ever tried Amy's vegetarian and
organic food in the frozen section? Her cheese enchiladas are delicious. Her tamale dinner with rice is good too. There are no GMO's either. Van's organic/veg waffles in the frozen section are delicious too and they are wheat-gluten free. Oprah went on a wheat-gluten/vegan diet and she lost a ton of weight. She said she never feel so "alive."

I've been a vegetarian since I was 17 . . .
My three children are vegetarians and my three grandchildren are vegetarians - none of them ever had meat.
do they have vegetarian options
As I am vegetarian, would like to check into it further, but if they do not take this into account, do not want to waste the time. Thanks
i was a vegetarian for 5 years
and if it is done right, it is a healthy lifestyle. HOWEVER, to think there is something wrong with meat-eating, is to question the way God made this world and the things in it. Course, maybe you don't believe in God, in which case, what you eat is the least of your problems.
As I said already, I am a vegetarian, but not a vegan.
Vegans do not eat ANY foods originating from animals.
I eat eggs, drink milk and eat fish.
That's it.
I am very healthy and slim.
vegetarian. Daffy or Donald?

I have a vegetarian pepper quesadilla recipe
That's SUPER delicious. Here it goes:
green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper 1 each
1 medium white onion
1 tsp. cumin to taste
1 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. salt & pepper each or to taste
1/2 tsp. lime juice (optional)
1 bag of fiesta blend of cheese or mexican blend.
6-8 medium tortillas
Cut all bell peppers and onion into strips and saute all items over medium heat in a skillet. Add cumin, salt & pepper.
Spoon sauted veggies into tortillas - on one-half of tortilla only. Add cheese on top of veggies. Close tortilla and heat in a clean preheated skillet over medium-hot heat. When lightly browned, turn over. They should look slightly crispy and light brown. Cut into thirds.

Ours is a natural gas...sm
generator that is wired into our main fuse box. You can have as many or as few electrical circuits (rooms) wired in, depending on the size generator you buy. Consumer Reports usually does a good job evaluating these and gives good advice.
We got ours after a tornado caused a prolonged power outage then later an ice storm. It is a nice feeling not to have to panic when these things come up.
And, yes, as long as you have the circuit wired in where your computer, etc, is plugged in AND DON'T LOOSE YOU ISP CONNECTION, you will be able to work.
It is expensive, but in the long run, I'm glad we did it.
natural vs.
Originally, we went all out and only bought organic everything, including lunchmeat. Now we only buy organic milk. Everything else we buy is "natural." It is very hard to get USDA stamp organic and that is why the cost is higher.
Absolutely the best substitute for organic is kosher and you can mix and match from there.
(Godiva is not organic, but it is kosher!)
I think it is natural for him to
test the boundaries of his new situation, don't you? Once he knows there are still rules and you are sticking to them, he will be fine. I really wouldn't be too worried. If he seems excessively angry, then that's another situation. Hang in there.

There must be some sort of natural
repellent on the market that you can spray on the furniture so that when he jumps up there and sniffs around, whatever he does, he won't like it and will get down. I have heard of something similar with cayenne pepper or something in it that keeps them away...Will see if I can find what I am thinking and post it if I can.
I think it is a natural way to feel...BUT....sm
when you get involved with someone with children that is part of the deal. I snuggle and hug my kids all the time and if I was ever to divorce and date someone, they would just have to deal with it. He is with you because he wants to be with you and when he wants adult snuggling and cuddling it is you he will want. But when he gets time to spend with his daughter, you need to find something to entertain yourself and let them have their time. She will grow up and not want his attention soon enough. I say maybe 3 or 4 more years, tops, and then he'll be pretty much all yours :-)
Actually raw/organic/natural is the best
But you do have to watch where the ingredients come from because like one of the posters said they can contract parasites just like humans could if they have bad meat. I've attached a link. I think if you start pets at a young age they will take to the raw food diet, but trying to start an adult cat is difficult.

Was this a natural thing?
Or the result of fertility drugs/in vitro? I just don't know what I would do with 8 little ones! God bless them
natural OTC medication?
Could you tell me what natural OTC medication she is taking? This sounds so much like my 16-year-old daughter. TIA.
No natural gas stove -- for heating only
It is a natural gas free standing stove with logs, etc. Not a cooking stove. Thanks for your concern.
Thanks so much! I went and got Clairol natural instincts
sunflower medium golden blonde - the one that washes out after 28 shampoos and doesn't lift or lighten because I was a little afraid to try that right now. I will tell you it straightened this mess right up! At least now all of the highlights appear the same color and are more golden, it is just overall darker than I would like but still much more flattering than what I had. When this starts to wash out I will go to Sally's and maybe try an overall lighter color as you suggest. Hopefully when all is said and done I won't even have to go to the salons anymore for color and pay them hundreds of dollars for a lousy job. I am a little annoyed because I did put out over $200 between the highlights and cut and tip but I guess I'll get over it :(
Thank you to all who helped! I feel so much better! I really am thankful for this board!

Out in Cali. it IS natural selection - with all the
gang-banger thugs filling up our emergency rooms to the point of them going broke & shutting down. You'd think by now some of them would see it's a pointless, useless lifestyle.

Not sure about natural, but Bugs-B-Gone is what my husband uses.(nm)

Natural Selection in progress
Survival of the fittest, so to speak. And, yes, it is very reminiscent of The Stand. Hopefully I won't see the National Guard rounding people up on the news for quarantine anytime soon.
Walnuts- natural source of melatonin
Want a better night's sleep? Try sprinkling your dinner's tossed green salad, fruit salad or steamed vegetables with a handful of walnuts. Or enjoy a baked apple or poached pear topped with walnuts for dessert.
Melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland, which is involved in inducing and regulating sleep and is also a powerful antioxidant, has been discovered in walnuts in bio-available form, making them the perfect evening food for a natural good night's sleep.
Melatonin has been shown to help improve sleep for night shift workers and people suffering from jet lag, but maintaining healthy levels of this hormone is important for everyone over the age of 40 since the amount of melatonin produced by the human body decreases significantly as we age, and this decrease in antioxidant protection may be related to the development of free radical-related diseases later in life.
In a study published in Nutrition, Russell Reiter and colleagues at the University of Texas have not only quantified the amount of melatonin present in walnuts-between 2.5 and 4.5 ng/gram-but have demonstrated that eating walnuts triples blood levels of melatonin and also increases antioxidant activity in the bloodstream in animals.
The authors theorize that by helping the body resist oxidative stress (free radical damage), walnuts may help reduce the risk of cancer and delay or reduce the severity of cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease. Walnuts, best known as a heart-healthy nut, are also a rich source of another highly cardio-protective nutrient: omega-3-fatty acids, so Reiter and his team will next investigate possible synergy between walnuts' omega-3 fats and melatonin. To us at the World's Healthiest Foods, this sounds familiar theme in Nature's symphony in which whole, wholesome foods each provide a wealth of nutrients whose harmony promotes our optimal health.

Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxant sm
I'd take it before bed. Myself, I get very relaxed and woozy if I take it, so I go to bed. Red raspberry leaf tea is supposed to be very good for cramps. I am allergic to them, so I can't tell you how that works.

What kind of dog do you have? It's hard to beat natural instinct.
My cat keeps killing birds and laying them on my front porch as little gifts for me. I'm so thrilled at 6 a.m. when I get up and walk out on the front porch for my morning coffee and find a dead bird! But thankfully my cat goes after small prey. My neighbors cat brought home a big fat rat the other morning! YUK!!! I don't know where he got it and I don't want know!
Good luck!

Anyone have ideas for natural lipid-lowering agents? sm
I try so hard, oatmeal, almonds, whole grain bread, watch what I eat and drink, substitute honey for sugar, yet triglycerides and cholesterol high. Getting discouraged and feel like saying to heck with it. I did Google, same thing I do, they say it may be familial.

Pretty much natural. Did use a product called "Healthy Woman"
that my gyn recommended, helped with hot flashes. It was a couple of years of messed-up and weird cycles then all of sudden it just stopped. Still have hot flashes after about 5 years but not very bad or often.
I have been vegetarian on/off for 35 years, was vegan for about 5 years sm
not that hard. Right now, I am having so many issues with food allergies and celiac disease, having to give up nightshade veggies...nothing left to eat. I am eating some meat now, but not when the gastroparesis sets in!
Being vegan is not hard...unless you are a celiac. This is how I figured out the celiac part because so many of the meat analogs and vegan packaged foods use gluten for the protein and I got really sick from it. I gave up all the premade things and the whole grains with gluten and I was fine.
There is vegan and then there is VE-GAN. By definition, vegans don't wear, use or consume anything that is derived of animals...no leather shoes, most shampoos and toothpastes are off the list, as are deodorants. No wool or silk. Anything with soap usually has animal byproducts. It is very involved and rather difficult to do.
Giving up meat, eggs and dairy is no big deal, except for cheese. You hear that ad about "comfort proteins" in a baby formula and there is such a thing. Mother's milk, be it human, cow, goat, whatever...contains a chemical that triggers the release of endorphins in the brain so that feeding feels good in more ways than one. The purpose of this is ensure that the nursed young want to nurse and thrive. Human milk has a lot of these, so does cow's milk and cow juice triggers the same reaction in the adult human brain. Cheese is concentrated milk and therefore these chemicals are also concentrated. As a result, cheese is an addictive substance. This is the hardest thing to give up when going vegan. Vegan cheese substitutes are nasty and they don't melt. If a dairy-free cheese melts, it contains casein, an animal protein and not vegan.

I believe you can get it in most drug stores, health food stores, and on line. check on line, as you may find a better quality at a cheaper price. It works well.
