Hey fellow vegans!

I just came across this wonderful site and am impress with it all! I am like a kid in a candy store!

Well, here is my intro:

I am originally from Germany and just became vegetarian for the second time in my life. The first time I was vegan began after having to clean a turkey when I was about 13 yrs old. I turned back to meats due to not really being told how to balance my meals and my anemic status turned bad.

This time my turning vegan was due to my food allergies and migraines. I stopped smoking 2 weeks before Christmas ‘07; became partially vegan (still eating some types of fish and dairies) January’08; stopped eating certain processed foods February ‘08; stopped using diaries March ‘08; stopped eating all meats April ‘08; now attempting to stop eating fried foods this month (biggest hangups are French fries and fried Yucca)~With a monthly goal of changing one “bad eating habit” for a more balanced/nutritional habit I look forward to obtaining my ultimate goal. . . completely RAW by the end of 2008!!!

I’m a PC Geek by night! My family and pets are my life. Sometimes on Sunday, I enjoy jogging, swimming and yoga on the beach where I shop at a local organic vegetable and fruit market after my activities! I love reading, writing poetry and short stories, dancing, sleeping whenever my body allows me to do so {I’m an insomniac most of the year!}; biking; hiking; white water rafting; gardening; eating & trying new foods within my new lifestyle. I love to make “exotic fruit” pies and “carnival” salads. So far, some recipes that I have been creating include great fruits like durian {a Malaysian fruit} and coconut. I love using fresh herbs like rosemary, broad leaf thyme and sage. If there is a new herb I find and will use it!

I see this site as being another great support to share with others! Thus, a great way of eating! May you all have a wonderful healthy and prosperous year!

Ciao!
