Topic: RE: High-Protein Vegan Recipes, Anyone?

I was an ovo-lacto vegetarian for about four years and loved it, but I was FAT because of the unhealthy carbohydrate choices I was making. I already eat a lot of Indian food, so that would be an easy transition!

Thanks for you input!

Topic: RE: Need Recipe Plz - Buffalo Ranch Dressing

I make something like this all the time. I use Ken's lf blue cheese dressing and add Frank's hot sauce to taste. I haven't found a lf ranch that I like, so I stick with blue cheese.

I have a friend who is vegan and whenever I come across a good vegan recipe I share it with her. Here is a web site I found. Good Luck!!!

Take some cayenne pepper and splenda and mix together (maybe an 1/8 tsp. of cayenne to a packet of splenda) and mix a bit into a some ranch dressing and adjust to your taste.

The classic downfall I've seen is combining a general inability to cook with unusual dietary restrictions. Too often those people end up being what I call "spaghetti vegetarian."

There is a whole host of consideration that must be given to macro and micro-nutrients when you're going to drop things from a diet. I would suggest a start with Ovo-lacto vegetarian and the cuisine of India which has a rich vegetarian tradition.

Topic: High-Protein Vegan Recipes, Anyone?

A vegan lifestyle is something that I have considered, but am not ready to commit to at this point in my weight loss journey. However, I met someone I'm really interested in dating, and I'd like to cook for him, but he lives vegan most of the time. I am also cooking-retarded. Any suggestions?

I agree with the one who said Franks Hot Sauce. It isn't really hot at all and you can control how much you put in there. Just start with a dash and go from there.

A pizza restaurant that I order from has this Buffalo Ranch Dipping sauce, it's just Ranch dressing with a buffalo wing zing to it. It is very mild and really good for use as a veggie dip.

Any clues how I might make this at home? I looked in stores to see if I can buy it already made but where I live I can't find it - assuming you can buy it by the bottle.

If I just bought a bottle of Ranch dressing, what spices might I add? It's really fantastic stuff and I'm not a huge fan of Ranch dressing! ;o)

TIA

I would try adding Frank's Red Hot.

You can put that *bleep* on everything.

But this stuff isn't hot at all. It's has just a hint of something but I don't know what that something is. ;o)
