Lymetoo~what flavor of Mary's gone crackers do you like?
can anyone recommend veggatarian cookbooks, websites, blogs that have easy recipes? I need to get more veggies in my diet(family too) but I am not creative in the kitchen and heating up veggies is all I can come up with.

I've forgotten the name of the black rice. Mine is in a ziplock bag, so no name or brand on it. Look at your grocery store or health food store.
I like "original" or "herb" on the crackers.
I'm just beginning on cooking stuff... I've never really enjoyed cooking. You might try Body Ecology Diet or GAPS diet for recipes.

Thanks TuTu. I wonder if brown rice is ok? I talked with my sister and Mom last night about this post and they're interested too.
My Mom not so much because she won't give up her white rice. She might cut down on her bread though. She loves toast in the morning. Wonder if oatmeal or grits is ok for her to switch too.
Anyways thanks for this very interesting topic.

- Speaking of Black Rice, two (and they may be the same thing or not. I've had the Lotus Foods brand).
Thai Black Rice
Organic Chinese Forbidden Black Rice by LOTUS FOODS. Excellent in so many ways. A little goes a long way, too.
Also consider WILD Rice and RED rices, and Millet, Amaranth, Raw Buckwheat Groats.
There are so many other options besides the sad state of American wheat.
Just be very sure of your food source - know how they treat the food from seed to harvest -- and how they treat the workers at every step. This matters greatly.
Many food additives are like the worst drugs to our brains. See the "60 Minutes" report in the thread below.
Excitotoxins; MSG; Aspartame; & "Natural" Flavors -

There is spelt, which is ancient wheat. I have been getting that and grinding it myself. You can also sprout it first, then dehydrate it and grind it. It digests more like a vegetable that way.

- Sadly, Spelt is not gluten-free. It contains about the same amount of gluten as wheat and should be avoided just as wheat.
Gluten is in: wheat, spelt, kamut, barley & rye.
"Einkorn wheat was one of the earliest cultivated forms of wheat, alongside emmer wheat." (Wiki)
While those with mild gluten sensitivities may be able to handle Eikorn or Emmer wheat, those with celiac are advised to avoid these, too, as would anyone on a true gluten-free diet (as helps so much with lyme). -
