Look. Everyone who chooses to become a vegetarian does so for their a multitude of reasons. Why they stay that way is a whole other can of worms. I know that my reasons for not eating meat have changed over time, and there is no doubt in my mind that they will continue to change. One key reason is constant for me: during times in which I have decided that I would re-enter the "meat-eating" world I found my nutritional intake declined, the variety of vegetables I ate declined, the variety of foods in general declined, I ate more fat, less fiber, and felt more tired and sluggish.
I'm not trying to say that there is anything "wrong" with eating meat, or anything righteous about being a vegetarian, it just works for me and what I'm trying to accomplish in my diet.
Regardless of my reasons, I am lazy. Just like anyone else, I want my life to be easy. If I had found it difficult to be a vegetarian, I can honestly say that I don't know if I would be one today. SO much for conviction...
Anyway, I'd like to make it easy for you to integrate more vegetables, various grains and fabulous fruits into your lifestyle and your diet. Plus, if I don't keep a blog of my recipes I will absolutely lose them forever and never remember how to make "that one thing" that I made "that one time."
Stay tuned for some great recipes.
