Hi All!  Happy to find the What's Cooking? forum and plan to be very engaged!

Just scrolled down through the current topics and found some other vegan topics which is good!!  Looking forward to sharing, learning and helping us all get 1% better!!!!

@SunsetRunner  Welcome to the forums.

You missed National Hummus Day!

haha!  luckily my summer 2014 new 'go-to' sandwich for lunch is:  good wholegrain bread, pepper humus, spinach, cucumber, veg-meat slices, mustard!  🙂

Hi

I am newly vegetarian.  I am willing to buy into the need for protein but know I easily get enough with plant foods.  And I know I feel better when my protein comes from nut butters, asparagus, or quinoa than a hunk of beef.

I like a chickpea salad -- chickpeas, either mayo or greek yogurt or veganaiise, dill, and lemon, mashed together in a sandwich or just on its own.

I switch between two different sandwiches for lunch......  

1. Lentil humus on whole grain with a bunch of greens, and some sliced tomato, avocado and red onions

2.  Guacamole, tomato, greens, and some veggie meat

No cucumber......ever!

why no cucumber?  don't like it or some other reason?  Just wondering...

Cucumber is vile tasting stuff......!
