One Week an Herbivore

As promised a week in review of trying the vegetarian life.

The first week was really easy, no cravings for meat and no temptation was too strong for my new found herbivore strength.

I did have some problems with balancing my meals and make them fulfilling and nutritious. I ran into problems of loading up only on pasta or potatoes. But after a few day I got in the swing of it. I think my favorite recipe I tried had to be butternut squash casserole.

I did cave today though to the sweet siren song of chicken strips...because they are the ultimate comfort food for me

But I am back on track and planning out my meals.

One thing I love about this is it has me back in the kitchen. I love to cook and create in my kitchen and I have been cooking more this week and it really makes me feel good about myself. It makes our little apartment feel more comfy. Nothing really helps you unwind after a long day than creating something and having your home full of the smell of spices and warmth.

Eat Your Veggies Matey!

I'm challenging myself to trying the vegetarian lifestyle.

I'm not a huge meat eater to begin with, so cutting it out of my diet the past two days has not been hard at all and I really don't miss it. I'm finding myself fuller and less snacky too.

I'll post the whole week's experience on Sunday as well as my favorite recipes from the week.

If anyone has any suggestions, tricks, tips feel free to comment! This is a journey I am excited to take and grow with.
