I’m Just Gonna Do It

February 5th, 2010 Gabby Leave a comment Go to comments

I ate meat 3 times this week.  Each was disappointing, and I was uncomfortable and gross-feeling for at least 3-4 hours afterward (which is why I remember exactly how many times I consumed meat).  Now, granted, this was cafeteria and restaurant meat–ham sandwich, taco salad, and hot wing-style tenders (oh gah I love hot wing sauce).

Since I’ve been “flirting” with this idea for quite some time now, I’m just going to do it.  I’m going vegetarian for a month.  I don’t think will be difficult at all.  We already don’t eat meat for dinner, so I’ll just have to plan for lunches at school.

Some things I will be trying and featuring in the coming weeks:

  • Vegan Balsamic Vinegar Chocolate Cookies
  • TVP
  • red lentils
  • Vegan Mac & Cheese
  • lots of garbanzo bean goodies
  • lots of whole grain yummies
  • and anything else I come across

If you have any great vegan or vegetarian suggestions or great recipes, I would love to try them!

I am very happy with this development of mine, and I feel like it will be just as good as when I decided to give up cokes.  Here’s to healthy living!

    Good luck! I managed to make it through three months of vegetarianism before chucking it all at Outback one night. It’s a wonder I didn’t get sick.

    Do you like zucchini? I fell in love with corn and zucchini tacos while I was vegetarian. I had them at least once a week. Anyway, I have several recipes that are really tasty. Let me know if you want them. :)

    Since you mentioned lots of garbanzo bean goodies, I have to recommend Veganomicon’s chickpea cutlets. If you don’t feel like going out and buying a $30 cookbook, I’ll send you the recipe (though even my cheap ass will admit that it’s worth it!). They are crunchy and chewy and great alone, with ketchup, with gravy on a sandwich, in a pita, etc.
