Hi all on this forum: I have good news about my daughter. Last Saturday on the call I brought up my daughter being a vegetarian when I requested that Karen come up with an alternative to hamburger patties (Thank you KAREN for your willingness to do this). And this is when MEL interjected and said that if she didn't start eating meat, that this protocol wasn't going to work well (to put it mildly) and that I needed to convince her to start eating it. She has been a vegetarian for over 2 years now, and she is a very big proponent of humane treatment of animals. But actually, it goes much further than that and she believes that we shouldn't eat animals, even though I've pointed to verses in the Bible stating otherwise. So I did very much dread this conversation, knowing how stubborn she can be about the topic. I prayed the night prior, knowing that she would be here to celebrate Father's Day the next day. I brought up the conversation, and her reaction wasn't what I had anticipated. She actually listened and we had a very calm and productive conversation. She relented and said that she would eat chicken, but not beef (however, maybe in time she'll change her mind about this too). If you knew my daughter, you would know that God's involvement was at work here, because she can be very vocal and strongly opinionated. It was really not at all what I expected and it was a great surprise and a HUGE relief. Please pray that she will indeed eat meat and that she not be repulsed by it. God Bless, Anna | |||

Hey Anna, The menu you were planning for you and your daughter sounds great! I hope everything came out as you hoped and you both had a nice visit. I look forward to seeing your recipes and pictures posted. The taco quiche especially sounds good. You can try heating some coconut oil with your butter when making your buffalo sauce. I find that heating a little coconut oil with butter keeps the butter from burning so quickly. Sometimes I think God gave moms an extra sense where their kids are concerned. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Cheryl | |||

Hi KAREN, THOMAS, CHERYL, LAURA, CRISSIE, and everyone else on the forum, I really appreciate all of your responses. I am really uplifted when I get your responses and look forward to them. Maybe we’ll be able to talk on the phone sometime, just ask MEL for my phone. I’m at home most of the time since I work from home so please call me any time. My daughter said that she doesn’t like seafood or fish of any kind. I did remind her that I used to make fishsticks for her all the time, but she’s not interested. She’s OK with chicken including ground, and also turkey. Tomorrow I’m planning on making her a Taco Quiche using the crust recipe that KAREN posted (thank you Karen). And with the same crust recipe I’m going to make her a coconut chocolate pudding pie (sweetened with stevia). Hopefully this will be photo worthy so that I can post it on the forum. But of course the taste is the most important thing. I bought her an air fryer which I hope will motivate her to cook up some good recipes. I also ordered one for myself and am looking forward to making a crispy cauliflower snack. My convection oven doesn’t make them as crispy as I want so I’m hoping that the air fryer will do a better job. They cost $54.00 each on Amazon. I tried to make a good buffalo sauce but failed 2 times and ended up stinking up my whole house. The butter burned before the arrowroot could thicken it. The second attempt I used olive oil and added guar gum and that was also a fail because it became all lumpy. KAREN maybe you have a good recipe or can figure out how to make it. All the commercial brands use regular white vinegar and I can’t find any that use apple cider vinegar. I thought this would really be good on the crispy cauliflower or even chicken nuggets. KAREN, I tried that Red Lobster cheddar biscuit recipe and it turned out great! I didn’t even use any cheese, AND I forgot the butter and it still turned out good. I’m sure my daughter will be thrilled with it. I used it for my hamburger in place of a bun. So good! :) I want to try the turmeric cauliflower flat bread. That looks good! Thank you so much for your recipes! Thank you for your advice about finding a farm KAREN, it may be helpful. But for now, so long as she’s eating chicken I’m happy. Hopefully as she eats it more often, she’ll lose her aversion to eating meat and be fine with it as long as she satisfied that the animals were treated humanely. CHERYL, I do believe that God went before me and prepared her heart. It was really noticeable to me. My husband was a little less aware of it. But he wasn’t dreading the conversation as much as I was. He seriously doesn’t worry about hardly anything! But this is the power of prayer. Thank you all of you for your prayers as well. THOMAS, congratulation on your new job! I’m looking forward to hearing more about your journey since I’m new and haven’t gotten to see how you were from the beginning. It gives me hope that you’ve stuck with the protocol for so long and that it’s paying off for you. God Bless! | |||
