Daughter is vegetarian. I cook a turkey and she hits the side dishes. (sm)

We do pretty well with this. I just make sure I have some of her favorites so she still feels like she is having a feast.
I saw a picture someone made of a "turkey" they had formed out of raw veggies. I think the basic form was one of those rounded shaped loaves of bread and the veggies were on toothpicks. the head and some tail feathers were made from construction paper. It seemed like an entertaining idea especially if you had small children around.

No, my turkey is still in my freezer. I refused to cook this year.
I'm either going to cook it at Christmastime or slap some Cajun sauce on it and BBQ when the 18" of snow melts.
Yeah, it's usually not a problem - there are plenty of side dishes veggies can eat.
Anyway, I was just curious if any fellow veggies were out there:) Regardless of your persuasian (carnivore/herbivore lol) have a great Thanksgiving :)
well wait til your daughter hits someone. You will lose everything in that civil lawsuit.
I mean, how ridiculous is that. Letting a 14.5 year old to get more experience. Sheesh. Let her drive at 16 with you and let her drive alone at 18, if you want her to have more experience. There's a reason why the driving age is 16, not 14.
Need ideas for vegetarian snacks for New Year's Eve. Having a guest over who is vegetarian.

We got a free turkey,which I donated to charity. I can afford a turkey,

Better a turkey widow then a turkey dish
Sorry for your loss!
I've had this and doing the dishes too. It's most
Of course if he were doing MY dishes I'd be happy even if he were DICTATING! Yeah, right!
I wash the dishes.
:-)
I love so many fav dishes! Lobster
also love shrimp scampi or chicken, ziti, broc! Basically any type of pasta dish! 
vegetarian idea
If you use eggs, a wonderful egg foo yung can be made with all that zucchini in your garden. Just shred, drain, toss in a little cornstarch and soy sauce = add some beaten eggs and fry in patties. Make a quick gravy using chicken base, water and soy sauce thickened with a little cornstarch. Serve patties over rice with a little gravy. My family loves this and we are not even vegetarians!
That would be an enormous amount of various dishes of food. sm
if 80 people come, that could be 30-40 bowls, platters, plates; probably not realistic.
What are some of your favorite dishes? Tired of chicken,
Time to start my day and dinner but bored with the same meat choices. I cook for a shrimp and steak spouse. He would probably love lobster too, but I am not for cooking anything while it is still alive. I could eat fruits and vegetables (salads) all day long and be perfectly happy with that.
Thanks for any ideas and if you can't think of anything, that's okay too.:) Have a wonderful productive day!!
Oh, my!. I HAVE been there, desk in kitchen while dishes pile up and so on.
The little ones, at least, from this distance are happy memories and much missed. It really does get a LOT easier, I promise, and sooner than you can imagine, up over your head in it all as you are. Keep taking lots of deep breaths.
first was no meat, then vegetarian, now trying vegan...
although, I am not obsessive about it all...
no animal has to suffer for me.
I do have to cook meat for my boyfriend, but as I said I am not a fanatic. I try to buy local meat and use chickens (and eggs) that are not from electric cages, or that have not been fed steroids, antibiotics, etc.
Vegan versus vegetarian
Someone told me that vegans do not eat any animal products including eggs or dairy but that vegetarians will. Who knows.
Ideas for vegetarian snacks
Bean dips. Paul Newman has them in jars, usually in the salsa section. Also, guacamole, and have nuts available. Cheeses, of course, if they eat dairy.
Bruschetta, one variation of which is thinly sliced tomato on slice of garlic bread, topped with sprinkle of basil and thin mozzarella. Broil til cheese melts and heated through..
Hummus, a garbanzo bean spread, you can usually buy at the deli counter. With crackers or small slices of bread.
He's a runner and a vegetarian and he looks just fine to me! :) nm

Dishes once a week? My goal is to live life better than the day before.
Try to enrich my life, even if it's just a little extra prayer or a little thoughtful thing for someone who doesn't expect it. Everyday.
I'm a vegetarian so not buying meat saves,
but also, the more *fixed* food is, the more expensive it is - for example, if I want soup, I buy the ingredients and make it myself, plus it tastes better and isn't loaded with garbage I don't need like salt and fat.
I don't buy extras - candles have been out for a long time - I have a few in case of power failure, but nothing fancy. I don't have a cell phone, or anything other than basic TV. I buy clothes at thrift stores (which is actually a lot of fun), and I never hang out at malls - impulse buying is out.
Get an extra plastic bottle and pour half your shampoo into it, then fill with water. Most people use way too much shampoo, conditioner, etc - dilute w/water - does the same job and lasts way longer.
If you will search around the web with Google, you can come up with hundreds of ways to save money - most of us buy stuff we don't need simply because we are lazy or we think our every desire needs to be gratified.
It's mostly just excess baggage; it is amazing how good it feels to not need *stuff* to feel good.
the potpourri idea is fabulous!!, plus don't forget the wonderful scent of herbs you can grow yourself to mix with the cinnamon, etc.
Good luck and have fun!
I'd be a great vegetarian but I hate vegetables!
The thought of eating meat is awful, but it's the only thing I like so I have to unless I want to live on Cheerios and ice cream sandwiches.
Vegetarian chili from the freezer, salad, garlic bagel chips. nm

Have you noticed how many hits the ads have?
x
So, when the poop hits the fan..sm
who is going to get to take the flak for this mistake... besides the patient?
36 hits doesn't necessarily mean anything.
If there were 30,000 hits on Google, I'd think it legitimate. However, 30 hits could mean that there are 30 misspellings or 30 idiots out there making up words. Or it could be a real word. Normo is a combining form; however, reflexic is not in any of my dictionaries. (Merriam, Taber's, Dorland's, Stedman's) If the account's verbatim, use it. Otherwise, tag it.
Better Business Bureau BBB.ORG 39 hits of
Ameriplan with UNSATISFACTORY ratings. Do more investigating before you waste your money on an MLM scam, and please don't tell me to check it out because I already did two years ago.
THE HITS KEEP COMING-NEW PROBLEM AS OF OCT 1ST
You probably received an email from your supervisor about full time meaning you HAVE TO produce for 40 hours a week to be full time. That means, if you take any time off without pay (because you only have 80 hours of PTO a year) for ANYTHING (sick, funeral, whatever the emergency), you will no longer be a full time employee, which means no benefits at all.

If a post gets so many hits on it, it gets the flame.
Not sure what the magic number is though.
IMO - no. If he hits you once, he will hit you again. It will not matter what religion you believe

Good way to drum up hits. nm

Now that hits the nail on the head!
You said that right.
'MEDICAL TRANCRIPTION SUCKS."
It is the only job I have ever had where I actually do 25% of my work for FREE because my employer SAID IT WAS MY JOB.
And every day these companies are more creative looking for new and improved ways to bleed the MTs for more of our hard earned money.
And that IS the reality of this business.
It's a good way to get lots of hits on your post!

Don't worry about it. I used to cook like that, too.
I'd be so tired from working all the time that it was Hamburger Helper, fish sticks, or chicken nuggets. Our grocery bill used to be cheap, too. Hubby and I trade off cooking now. Honestly, we're trying to eat healthier to lose weight. It's a "hobby" that has helped bring us together more in our marriage. We find new recipes on the Internet all the time. Gotta have variety somewhere.... LOL
I love to cook but
it isn't a lot of fun cooking for just 2. We eat out a lot and more and more places are offering carry out, such as Applebee's. Also check out your meat counter at the grocery. They have more and more stuff already prepared so all you have to do is heat it up. Like get a meat loaf, some already prepared mashed 'taters, open a can of green beans or whatever and have some already prepared salad and presto, you have a "home cooked" meal. Well, maybe not exactly home cooked but as good as most restaurant food and a lot cheaper. We also like hamburger and tuna helpers. shhhhh don't tell my grown up kids that.
Whatever DH decides to cook here.

You have time to cook?
Not me. I work full time and have two small kids at home all day so it is impossible. I wish I had time to cook though. I just stock my freezer with frozen foods, and on some days my DH will pick up something on his way home from work.
What else do you like to cook in your crockpot?
I love a roast in the crockpot but what else is really good?
Dairy is the best, but I'm not a cook, so
I'm not sure if sour cream or plain yogurt would work in a soup. Another idea would be to sweeten it. You could experiment with small bowls of it. If it were too salty, it would be potatoes that would help.
Monsoon FINALLY hits Arizona. Microburst winds & rain.

Keep contact at a minimum. Self doubt hits and it is when we tend to fall back into the web
Good luck to you. Expect highs and lows. Best to get professional counseling so they remind you of who you are and where you want to be when he tries to convince you that you are crazy.
Oh my ... you have it rough. I don't think I even know how to cook without onions! sm
For my meatloaf, I use salsa too, plus hamburger, hot Jimmy Dean sausage, breadcrumbs, & egg. Heck, this is making me hungry for meatloaf now! :-)
My kinda cook! I can sure relate! nm

I find that if I don't buy things to cook with...
