It was great information. I have now been vegan for a year (Kickstart April 2011). Many of the things posted were things I've learned over the last year and wished it hadn't taken me a year to figure out. I think it would be great if PCRM would consider an ongoing resource for kickstarters - one on being vegan on a tight budget like tips on less expensive spices that can be substituted in recipes, ways to save on groceries (or just hire bug's mom as a blogger!) and one for cooking vegan for one or two - even if it woould help us make adjustments to the menu plans for future kickstarts.

I wonder if it would be easier on the staff if the techies could just start a special thread for these two topics which would carry over to each new kickstart? Then we would all blog... not that bugsmom isn't fantastic! - madeline madeline yakimchuk Director: MEET IRENE - An Unlikely Vegan GRYPHON media productions www

It's not much, but if you put 8 or 9 bags inside each other, like I do, the refund becomes quite substantial. Sometimes I even end up making a profit. Never make assumptions. You'll end up being an A**, and the UMP will TION you. -- Coach Smiley -- Fresh Prince of Bel Air

I keep track of the ingredients in the house, he figures out how to use them up. Key is learning what stuff is similar enough to other stuff to substitute - chard for kale, brown rice for quinoa, and how to use the dry stuff like dry beans and lentils. We can always come up with something with a bean, a green, and a grain - and then add other veggies and seasonings. --Deb R
