It's the first day of my vegetarian experiment! I absolutely ate pepperoni pizza and cheeseburgers this weekend to prepare for my final moments of meat. I'm armed with several vegetarian and vegan cookbooks, plus fantastic friends who have this lifestyle already.
I've decided to try vegetarianism in the hopes that I will cultivate a cooking hobby and be forced to eat more veggies and healthy meals without having to think too hard about it. Also, I'll be trying lots of new recipes and cooking most of my own food (I could have a cooking experiment blog too. I'm fairly new to the concept, but am loving cooking all the time.) I'm going to be an ovo-lacto vegetarian to start off with. This means I'm going to eat eggs and dairy (cheese is just so amazing!). I'll keep an open mind along the range of vegetarianism and possible make it all the way to vegan for a moment.
Each day I'll post my food choices and agonize over my lack of nutrition or rejoice about a new found favorite. I'm sure I'll have some other note-worthy information to share as I learn what meat substitutes are and what they taste like. Stay tuned for when I make my own seitan!
So, follow me on my experiment and we'll see just what it's like to turn a carnivore into a vegetarian.
