Vegetarianism Day 1
Monday, 5. January 2009, 23:20:24
So I began my week of vegetarianism today. It's an exciting time for me as I think this will open my eyes to a lot of different foods and recipes. Here's todays menu:-
Breakfast - Nothing - I don't ever eat breakfast and if I do, it's normally only junk food!
Lunch - Carrot, houmous & sprouts in wholemeal bread sandwich
Dinner - Vegetable stir fry.
One thing about vegetarianism I have noticed is that a lot of people seem to think that if you are a vegetarian, then you eat vegetables and not much else. Comments such as, 'hope you don't pass out' and 'won't you always be hungry?' spring to mind! This is not the case at all. There is a wide range of meals that you can eat that don't have to contain meat. One thing people forget is that there is the meat substitute - Quorn. This pretty much means that anything a meat eater can make, so can you!
There are also meals such as, pizza, pasta, baked potatoes, noodles etc that can be whiped up in no time at all. Your sunday roast can be substituted with a nut loaf. So you never really lose out by being a veggie!
As a result of my research and others feedback, I am going to create a blog which will focus on veggie diets and will be updated with daily veggie recipies for everyone to try. I will keep you all updated on this
In other news, I started my new job today. I think I am going to love it. the people there are lovely, the work is as expected and there is a discount on Mac products I really think I have found my perfect job once and for all - YAY!!!
Anyway - I am rather drained - Time to got to bed me thinks.
Goodnight Operaland
