I tried this Mexican Bean Salad recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/mexican-bean-salad/ Even my (non-vegan) husband liked it. Like many of the reviewers at the website, I didn't have all the ingredients on hand the day that I made it. I substituted jalapeño peppers for the green bell pepper & hot pepper sauce.

Had a yummy dish last week - cut a nice eggplant into rounds about 1/8-1/4 inch thick and lay them on a baking sheet or large casserole dish. Top each with a teaspoonful or so of crushed tomato and chopped fresh basil (and other herbs as desired, maybe a pinch of salt as well). If desired, add a sprinkle of non-dairy cheese. Bake until eggplant is tender. YUM! http://pcrm.org/kickstartHome/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=C1D28199-A6FE-4352-02E2F298FB155698&r=10 2013-05-20T12:03:18-04:00 Tried New Recipes? Excellent! Thank you for sharing!! http://pcrm.org/kickstartHome/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=BC42665C-BD7D-733E-6E773E191EB24A6E&r=11 2013-05-19T10:07:48-04:00 21 days and with success! 21 days with success! Today is my 21st day on the vegan challenge. I started on April 28th prior to listening to each day of the 2013 Food Revolution Summit. Between, the information from the Summit, as well as websites, like this one, I am informed and equipped to continue on a vegan lifestyle. I found several free videos regarding agriculture on hulu and youtube. This made my transition from vegetarian to vegan easier than anticipated. With the level of awareness. I'm confident I will never intake another animal product for the rest of my life. I have not had any cravings for cheese which was my weakness prior. Thank you for giving access to everyone for the 21 day challenge. I found it and very helpful. http://pcrm.org/kickstartHome/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=B9D5845A-C686-B117-B78C2264B141CEB3&r=12 2013-05-18T22:49:38-04:00 21 days and with success! 21 days with success!

Great point Kandoo. I assumed iron deficiency anemia. But knowing is better! http://pcrm.org/kickstartHome/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=B7A736AC-F3F9-654B-96E54BD16B8F6F06&r=14 2013-05-18T12:39:49-04:00 anemic - need suggestions Be sure you know what type of anemia you have. Not all anemia is related to low iron intake. http://pcrm.org/kickstartHome/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=B4DB6BEF-92BF-CDFF-8CDC3FA6331FF536&r=15 2013-05-17T23:37:59-04:00 anemic - need suggestions Thank you Susan. I was hoping you would answer! You are great! http://pcrm.org/kickstartHome/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=B471BD6F-ECFE-CCE6-76F5C2CD659F1570&r=16 2013-05-17T21:42:33-04:00 anemic - need suggestions There are lots of ways to enhance iron absorption from dietary sources. Take a look at this list of ideas: [url]http://www.nutritionmd.org/health_care_providers/hematology/ironanemia_nutrition.html[/url]. Depending on how low your iron levels are, you may need to take a supplement briefly. Talk to your physician about options that are best for you! http://pcrm.org/kickstartHome/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=B418CF5F-D716-5262-A491E7118FC80BFA&r=17 2013-05-17T20:05:24-04:00 anemic - need suggestions Hi, I was just told that I am anemic. I have Barnard's Brain book from the library now - haven't read that whole thing, but know that too much iron is a bad thing. Any suggestions of what to eat to get the iron count up quickly? I have some kale with a little barley and other veggies on the stove right now.... http://pcrm.org/kickstartHome/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=B32E1BC5-9694-85EB-C8E157536F78422B&r=18 2013-05-17T15:49:03-04:00 anemic - need suggestions I tried Sun-dried Tomato Red Lentil Loaf today and it was delicious [url]http://www.healthyveganrecipes.net/video/sundried-tomato-red-lentil-loaf[/url] I really enjoy many recipes from this website [url] http://www.healthyveganrecipes.net/video/carrot-cake-oatmeal[/url] , what I like that Heather cooks from fresh ingredients, use as little dishes as possible and its all quick and simple. She also has video to most recipes so you can see how it is done (she is a bit clumsy but darling). Hope you guys find some inspiration there like I did :D http://pcrm.org/kickstartHome/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=AEC9B293-A869-E312-BC6F7C92357E66D9&r=19 2013-05-16T19:20:54-04:00 Tried New Recipes?
