Gf And Vegetarian

[KatieKat]

Anybody having this problem? I need help with finding places in Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill areas in NC. Vegetarian and gluten-free is not going to be easy...

Thanks,

Katie

HI Katie,

I too have grown up vegetarian, so it has been hard. I was diagnosed with my little son back in June. It isn't easy always. I can handle dairy and he is able to now some too, so that has helped, but we don't eat alot of it. Mainly cottage cheese and yogurt. I am really having to learn how to cook now. Finally, after eating ALOT of corn tacos, taco salads and potatoes. I have to start trying new stuff, because I am tired of the same old stuff.

It can be done though. I cook with tofu quite often and I am starting to cook with herbs and spices to help liven up pasta, etc. THere are alot of Asian dishes with tofu.

I miss Whole wheat bread and the "fake" versions of meat I used to eat, but I am adjusting.

If you have any specific questions let me know.

Monica

Hey

I'm not a vegetarian, and this won't help with eating out, but I wondered if you'd tried Amy's meals. They're organic, ALL are vegetarian, and many are gluten-free. I just had the enchiladas for dinner, and the tofu scramble is also quite good. Whole foods and Trader Joes carry them around the country. (I'm from California, but I discovered them in Boston, and have gotten them in Colorado.)

Hope that helps some!
