Today's day one in our experiment... and I'm already craving turkey bacon, though I don't typically eat bacon. Lol looking forward to making a yummy stir-fry for dinner.

First day thoughts, guys?

    Sometimes you dont realize how many food options there are out there until you go vegetarian. I've found all kinds of recipes and ideas that I never would have, before I went veggie. :)

    I've been in the kitchen all morning cooking and preparing food for today and tomorrow. It really is great how creative you can get!

    I didn't either! That is why I went this morning!

    Your comment on your page early has inspired me. I am going to see how this week goes and if it is good, I am going to shoot for the entire month of May. :) And if that goes good, so on and so forth! Becoming a vegetarian is my New Year's Resolution, so I have to say thank you for encouraging me to take a step in the right direction!

    HA! Thanks. I made the black bean enchilada casserole last night and it was so yummy. Had it again for breakfast! Matt even said it looked good! Today for lunch I think we are going to have morel mushrooms and veggie BLT's. Except I use spinach instead of lettuce. so VBST.

    I am in the process of converting to the Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian way of eating. Starting with yesterday - for the month of May I am trying to eat a Semi-Vegetarian diet. That means I am limiting all meats (animal flesh) to no more than 2 days a week. I think yesterday went well for my first try, but today and in the days to follow) I must find ways to get in enough protein without going over in Fat - even if it was the “good” kind of fat. ~ I am sure this will be an interesting and educational month for me. I am open to suggestions. :)
