A LITTLE SUPPORT GOES A LONG WAY!!!

I have always cooked and been a pretty damn good cook but I never realized how much I relied on animal products. Creams for sauces and soups, caramalized fat for flavor, the meat itself of course etc etc so despite feeling like a good cook trying to cook something veggy was totally alien to me and seemed....mmmmm not as delicious

I once again need a like button for posts on lj. lol. this is exactly how I feel about how I eat. I think I would make more veggie dishes if I knew what the hell I was doing, but being raised in an omnivore house that was the typical meat and potatoes type of food, it is hard to know how to make tasty veggie dishes as really the basics such as salad always feel like diet food to me even if they taste good.

The Tofu sounds yummy though. I am going to have to try it once I make it to the grocery again and get some tofu (which I have never cooked with so it seems intimidating).

Yea I totally know what you mean.... My husband still eats 1lb of meat abou 4 times a week (for dinner) and a little more 4 breakfast in the form of sausage so b4 this transition I always made tri tip, carne asada, new york steaks, all kinds of chicken casseroles etc etc.

But dont be intimidated by Tofu...It "cooks" in about 3-4 minutes and you really cant mess it up. Its like shrimp, cooks really fast and you cant really screw it up lol
