I have been a vegetarian on and off for the last 10 years. I eat
meat occasionally, but it's just not something I enjoy very much and so
I tend to avoid it. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on
keeping energy up. I take iron pills and try to eat enough protein but
I get a bit slack sometimes. Any of you vegos with some good tips? I'd
appreciate anyone's input.Blessings xox

Thanks (((Mystic))). I should probably say too that I eat eggs
and dairy with no problem. I'm not a true vego. But just eat so little
meat that I find my energy gets low. Blessings xoxfont

Hey Prernitta! Thanks for all that advce. Most of it I follow
already. But I didn't know about paneer. I have heard of it though, and
I love Indian!! Are you in Australia? Me too!! I'm in Brisbane. We have
heaps of Asian groceries here and also Asian sections at the regular
grocery stores so I'll find some paneer, I'm sure. Blessed Be! fontimg src="ForumsricheditsmileysHappy20.gif" border="0"

ive had paneer. Mom made paneer at home, heres a recipe for homemade paneer

How to make fresh paneer at home

you need: 12 gallon whole milk (about 8 cups) and 4-5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 4 sheets of cheesecloth or muslin, a heavy weight

Step 1. Bring the milk to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pan, stirring occasionally to ensure that it does not burn or form a skin.

Step 2. Add the lemon juice and stir once. The milk solids should separate, leaving a thin, filmy whey. If the whey is not almost clear, add a little more lemon juice and stir. Turn off the heat.

Step 3. Strain the mixture through the cheesecloth sheets, allowing the whey to drain through. Discard the whey.

Step 4. Tie the ends of the cheesecloth sheets with a string to form a bundle (with the cheese within).

Step 5. Hang the bundle up for a couple of hours so any remaining moisture drains out. If your recipe calls for crumbled or soft paneer, you can remove the paneer to a dish for use at this point.

Step 6. If you would like a block of paneer to cut into cubes or slices, place the cheesecloth bundle on a flat surface and place the weight on top for 3-4 hours. At the end of that time, the block of paneer can be transferred to a dish for use.

Note: Paneer is best made fresh, for use within the day

paneer is best to aid with digestion and it is also best eaten as lunch (mid-day) and best when spicy
