Hi Everyone,

3 years ago i became an ovo-lacto vegetarian (eggs and milk ect but no fish or meat) when i was on holiday. Became pregnant in May last year and as soon as i found out i started eating meat and fish for the health of my baby as i dont do pills or medacines so vitamins were out the window. this was fine by me but now ive had my little girl and shes 6 months old in 2 weeks time i want to get back to my regular diet.

The trouble im finding is now im effectively cutting down on my meat and fish and introducing the same as i ate before im getting very stuck on recipes and things to eat as im very fussy on what i consume.

i hate humous and tofu and all that stuff i find it ..... bleugh, so my diet basically consists of vegetables, VERY LITTLE fruit, pasta, rice, eggs, milk, cheese and yogurt.

if you have any meals that you love that you could recommend i would be very grateful. :flowerforyou:

    Do you eat beans? I went vege after my son was born and I made a lot of things with beans and quinoa. Corn and black bean enchiladas was a weekly dish. Quinoa loaded with broccoli, carrots, artichokes - whatever veggies I could get my hands on. Spaghetti squash in place of pasta, homemade veggie pizza.

    apparently so, i was searching because i was fed up of people telling me if i eat any kind of dairy from an animal that im not a vegetarian, but thats vegan - or one form of veganism anyway. WIKIPEDIA SAID SO SO THERE! HAHAH

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism

    many different types under "varieties of vegetarianism" if you scroll down

    an now i may tell the silly little people who think they no everything to shove it where the potatoes dont shine and go back to my ovo-lacto dinner *said in a very stuck up snooty manner* TEEHEE
