As I wrote about previously, I am planning on making a massive reduction in my meat consumption. I am starting this by gradually replacing my usual meals with vegetarian meals. Yesterday was my first day to purposefully go "meat-free"!
I certainly will not say that this was a perfect example of a well-balanced, nutritional, and completely animal/enviornmentally friendly, but it was a small step in the right direction.
Breakfast:
Cereal with Skim Milk
Organic Apple
Lunch:
Fresh Spinach Salad with
olives, radishes, green onions, carrots
Snack:
Raw Almonds
Mozerella String Cheese
Dinner:
Whole Wheat Pasta with Spinach, Ricotta Cheese and Tomatoes
So, all in all, I didn't even notice that there was anything different about today's meals. I didn't experience any cravings or feel like I was lacking in any area!
I plan on doing a little more research on vegetarian meals and putting together some delicious recipes, but will update as things move along.
Know any great and easy "meat-free" recipes?
Bwa ha hah ha, the first day of a very long life without tastiness. :)
ReplyDeletePsssh! whatever! Vegetarian food is tasty! ^__^ besides meat is just cute animals cut up and u think THAT'S tasty?
ReplyDeleteI recommend Whole Foods as a resource. They have an app if you have an iPhone or iPod that I use every week. You can type in the ingredients you have and they will find something to make.
