    JanineVSG got a reaction from Creekimp13 in Started transitioning into vegetarianism. First day has gone good so far!   
    I will totally let you know! I just realized that I haven't really enjoyed the way meat tastes lately... so I wanted to make this change. I've decided to do pescatarianism though instead of straight vegetarianism just to make sure I can get that protein in!

    I love vegetarian stuff, and incorporate a LOT of vegetarian recipes into my forever diet. I still do eat animal protein, but much less than many of my bariatric peers. I try hard to get at least half of my protein each day from plant sources.
    If you run into any recipes you just love...please share:)

    I used to love to suck hard candies while working. Someone on here posted a recipe for sugar free gummy bears.
    1/3 cup water
    3 packs of unflavored geletin
    whatever koolaid flavor you want, half a pouch
    no calorie sweetener to taste
    (or just use sugar free jello in a flavor you like!)
    You boil it, then drip it in little molds or small ice cube trays...whatever you want
    then you let it cure for 2-3 days in the fridge.
    They really do taste quite a bit like gummy bears....and you get protein in the gelatin win-win:)

    @JanineVSG You inadvertently reminded me that I had leftover spaghetti squash in the freezer, so I cooked some of that up in a skillet, microwaved a leftover baked chicken tender and chopped it up to add into the skillet, and topped it all off with 1/4 cup roasted garlic alfredo sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan. SO GOOD, for 14 grams of protein and roughly 150 calories!

    I also do a lot of dry meat in the oven.
    Just marinate a lean meat in anything you like...I like hot pepper juice, soy, garlic..
    Then hang it on the racks with a drip pan underneath. Set the oven for 180 and let it go half the day....
    Like jerky....but lots better for you!

    I slice my apples up with a crank slicer, dip them in lemon so they don't brown...spray the racks with cooking spray so they'll pop off...and essentially just let the thing run until they're crunchy. Takes hours and time depends on humidity.
    For cherries, I like to slice them in half, remove the pit and get them drying. They're a juicy mess...but there is nothing better. There are tons of tutorials online for different kinds of dehydrators.

    Ok, spill it! I've got a dehydrator! How do you do either/both???? Please pretty please!!!
    I found my dehydrator at Salvation Army Thrift Store for $5. I'm a tightwad and find a lot of small appliances there!

    Watch out for the dried berries, the dark choco chips and nuts prolly won't hurt you, but the damned dried fruit is packed with unnecessary sugars. I just don't get why they take something lush and healthy and fork it so badly.
    I love Lily's SF Dark Choco Chips and almonds and frozen blueberries or frozen blackberries! YUM!

    Mmmmm... those sound so good!! My treat food is some dark chocolate chips. Sometimes I mix them with walnuts and dried berries. Gotta make sure it's all measured out because that can be a dangerously delicious combo!!

    My huge danger food... Frozen yogurt fudge pops. I like them entirely too much, and it's way too easy to say...but they're only 80 calories and you get 6 grams of protein! Very easy to be naughty with them. Cause in truth....one is probably not gonna hurt me. But two is trouble... and sometimes they sing to me a little. Hush!
