I'm sure you could make vegetarian ones, where theres a will, theres a way.

If you're not using eggs or milk then you're following a vegan, not vegetarian diet - we vegetarians eat eggs and drink milk (and the reason I'll never be vegan is that milk substitutes - soya milk, rice milk, oat milk etc - all want to make me barf, I will never be able to do without them icon_lol.gif So, if you are just trying to be a vegetarian, you can use them to your hearts content (just use free-range eggs and biological, organic milk if you are concerned about intensive farming) - good luck!

Lol reason i don't say vegan is because vegan is not only giving up ALL meat products including milk and eggs ,but it's not waring animal products, using them anythign you use, not buying them , ect. So tehcnically i'm a vegetarian that doesn't eat eggs or milk but i can't call myself vegan jsut becaue of it. So i jsut say strct vegetarian meaning no eggs or milk but not a vegan diet/lifestyle either. Lol

Just like you hate milk substitutes i hate the taste of milk. Same with eggs and i'd rather not use them in stuff i eat. Lol

Do you use butter? I don't like margarine either! Guess a lacto-ovo vegetarian is the best I'll ever be (tofu is the devil's invention too imo icon_surprised.gificon_lol.gificon_evil.gif !)

I use vegan margirine now(most brands of margirine still have milk-derived ingredients in them). I do like butter ,but i also like margirine. It's never bothered me either way. I found Earth Balance is a great, healthy, vegan alternative to butter and is great in cooking/baking. I used it to make a pie crust for chickenless pot pie. icon_smile.gif

I admire you - just can't do it myself and I've tried a couple of times icon_rolleyes.gif . Oh well, at least I'm not tucking into bloody steaks anymore (although I get cravings for those once in a while - usually when I'm pre-menstrual, those and lots of sugar - chocolate being my drug of choice icon_lol.gif - another reason I'll never be vegan!).

Lol well lacto-ovo is good to! icon_smile.gif It's a step alot of people can't make(well at least they don't think they can ). Lol Even though i don;t drink milk that doesn't mean i've given up chocolate! I gorge myself on chocolate all the time.

I especially like peanut butter cups, lightly flavored peanut butter chocolate bar. Chocolate chips, homemade tootsie rolls, chocolate buttercream, cake, ice cream, chocolate soymilk, hot chocolate with almond or rice milk(both give the hot chocolate a great nutty flavor that compliments the chocolate rather than fights it), hersheys syrup, strawberry soymilk, strawberry syrup, tons of coconut chocolate candies, cocnut candies, coconut dessert, whipped cocnut cream, coconut milk is good to. thumbs_up.gif Lol And there's lots more chocolatey, sugary goods to eat.

I don't know if this would fit the vegitarian thing or not... A friend of mine has a son who is deathly allergic to milk. He is able to use 8th continent or Continent 8 soy milk. I think it's gross, her whole family loves it. She buys the very vanilla version. This is in most grocery stores.

Lol It's soymilk. Soymilk is great. Ir's something you just need to try over and over and get use to some tastes. Each brand is drastically different. Although i don't mnd 8th continent i much rather use west soy. It a better brand IMO that tastes great(much less sugar with just as good a taste), Silk is the one brand that has the most soybeany taste ,but their chocolate soymilk is soo good. But on the other end lol i think milk is nasty. There is also rice and almond milk that tastes really good in baked goods.

Anywayss, soymilk does fit both a vegan and vegetarian diet. icon_smile.gif
