 Comment:  Thanks Beige. I appreciate your input. I love your blog and the recipes. I am trying, but I have not given up meat. Chicken and all pork and poultry are out of my diet, but I have not given up the meat. I am diabetic and have not done enough study.

Response:  Thanks for your kind comments.  May I put them in my August comments on my blog?  Do you have any requests or concerns?  Is there any way I may assist you on your road to health?  

Suggestion:  Start with a meatless Monday.  Explore need recipes or veggies that are meat free.  Go to an ethnic restaurant for a meat-free and cook free day.  Most cultures have fantastic meatless tradition recipes.

 Here's what I like:

Mexican-bean burrito, tostada salad,

Indian- aloo gobi, bartha, biryani rice, chick peas, daal, nann, samosas

Greek=falafel, lemon potatoes, Greek Salad

Italian- pasta marinara, salad

Veggie restaurant- all kinds of things

American- Ask what veggie options they have?  You can make a meal out of the sides.  

I was walking downtown past a bar that serves food.  The manager invited us to try their food.  As I walked by, I said, "Do you have any vegan options?"  I do this all over the world.  To my surprise almost everything they make with meat they make with a new product called, Gardein (Garden Protein).  I took friends their and they got out their phones to snap a shot of me with a pulled pork (fake) sandwich.  

Whenever I travel, I check out the vegan restaurants in that city on the site below.  You will be amazed at the many available choices.
