Me and my husband have never been able to share a pizza. He chooses things like "Meat feast", "Meat lover" or "Mighty Meaty" off the menu. I've been always more "veggie lover" type but I think it has come as a surprise to him that I've gone totally vegetarian recently. I just stopped wanting to eat meat and I've been so happy with my decision. As a result I've lost 17 lbs, my skin looks amazing and I haven't had any migraines. I've been vegetarian since February 2012 and I'm planning to keep it up! My daughter enjoys vegetarian food too but if she asks for fish or chicken I'll make it for her. But I won't bring any read meat into the house. Also as a positive side effect I've become such a creative cook! I'm preparing foods that are totally new to me like bulgur wheat and kale and I'm totally enjoying all the fabulous new ingredients. Melissa and I are also experimenting with the Quorn products. I'm mainly buying them because of her, but I must admit that their mince is pretty tasty. I've just made some bolognese sauce with it and it was quite nice with spaghetti. So far my bestest veggie recipe has been a vegetarian lasagne that I made the other day with fresh pasta, spinach, butternut squash, tomato sauce and bechamel sauce. It was lush! I've also made some lovely curries after a visit to an Indian restaurant.
I'm getting some awesome advice from the show called "River Cottage Veg", that show is very inspirational. I've just ordered their cookbook as well, I will hopefully get it tomorrow.
Being a vegetarian might not have a huge impact on making the world a better place, but it does make me feel good about myself in many different ways. I like that being a veggie is just a bit more challenging, I like to push myself to be a better person! I won't judge people by what they are eating and I hope they will respect my decision too.
P.S. Being a vegetarian is sexy! :) http://features.peta.org/sexiest-vegetarian-2012/Finalists.aspx
