Vegetarian vegan here

[Lyndzs_wife]

Hi everyone. Just joined. I am T, 36 mum of two teenagers! Married last year and have been a vegetarian for over 3 years. I did go vegan for veganuary but found I missed cheese. I am now vegan again due to gut issues and process of elimination of food groups. I am also gluten intolerant. I enjoy cooking with lentils and chickpeas and always on the look out for new plant based products. I have recently found a lactose free gluten free pizza! Not tried it yet though will let you know! It was a Jack Fulton buy. I love jackfruit and cauliflower steaks. Will eat most vegetables and fruits except aubergine. Something about it which is soggy. Can’t wait to mingle amongst like minded people.

Hello Lyndzs_wife I think that you're in great company on here as a few of us need a gluten free diet.So I'm sure that you'll enjoy being a member as you mentioned some of my favourite foods as I really like lentils chickpeas and quinoa so I hope that you enjoy being a member of this small friendly community.

Hello Lyndzs_ Wife, thats great you have joined us. I am also intolerant of Gluten. Every Saturday I post up Vegan/GF and Low Fodmap food Ideas/Recipes, most of them will be quick healthy basic recipes, in the winter when I have more time available I will do some more advanced cooking.

As for missing cheese have you tried Violife Epic Mature Cheddar Flavoured Block - this is so creamy and really amazing, my Dad who is a vegetarian could not tell the difference

Best wishes

Welcome. Have you tried tinned banana blossom? I actually prefer it to jackfruit. I must say that I love aubergine but appreciate that it isn't for everyone!
