When my husband and I first met I was invited to Christmas dinner and was anxious because I was a vegetarian and it was always so awkward when food was involved. Imagine how happy I was when I discovered they were Ukrainian and most of the 12 dishes were vegetarian. Your borscht looks delicious. We've never had it with cabbage - I'll have to try that.

Thank you! Oh man, having food preferences can be so challenging, especially when meeting new people. I struggled at home after giving up wheat because I'd eaten it all my life. I discovered that it was causing much of my intestinal distress so I gave it up to feel better, a concept a lot of people can't seen to understand. Ha ha! -Aimee
Wheat would be a tough one! We eat too much of it in the winter and I start to feel "dull" inside. I digest it fine but ...too much of anything ... Summer we don't eat much wheat at all with all the food we are growing. I just can't wait for that transition. This has been a long winter.
Not to push you back into trying grains but have you tried sprouted grains? http://anitasorganic.com/about-us/sprouted-grains/ I used to buy this all the time and it makes lovely bread and cakes when you get used to baking with it. Just thought it might be an idea for occasional wheat intake.
That's interesting! I was just reading another post by @bthebest7 who recommended soaking grains in kefir to ferment first. Sounds like there are traditional ways to prepare grains so they are more easily digestible. I will have to look into it further. Thanks for the link! -Aimee
