Well folks, I’ve completed my challenge. After 10 days of eating no meat, no poultry, and no fish I feel healthier. I lost 3.5 pounds, and during the process never felt the heavy feeling I sometimes feel after having a meal. On just 1200 calories a day I never felt hungry or deprived. With a [...]
It’s getting closer to the end, but I’m not sure I can quit just yet. The thought of raw meat and poultry is a little nauseating. I do have a craving for fish, so I will probably add that back into my diet soon. I definitely need to download some of the vegetarian cookbooks from [...]
I wanted to share something with you I’ve learned in the last 8 days…..the vegetarian community is a very tight knit group and they’re extremely generous. Almost every site I’ve visited in the last week offers free cookbooks, information packs, and resources for anyone interested in learning more about becoming a vegetarian. The list I’ve [...]
It’s hard to believe that I’ve made it through Labor Day weekend without thinking of hamburgers or hotdogs. It helps my husband hates to cook (grilling included), so we’ve all been at the mercy of my menu planning.

I didn’t miss the chicken I usually order at all. Tonight I’m ordering a cheese pizza with broccoli and garlic, so my kids still get their veggies [...]
It’s Day 3 and everything is great. My kids usually pick at their meat any way, so they haven’t noticed any deficiencies on their plates. My husband hasn’t said any thing, so I’m assuming whatever carnivore desires he has are being fulfilled at work.
I tried a couple of new recipes today. At lunch, I still [...]
Today was a lot like yesterday…….same breakfast, same lunch, and same snack. I’m a creature of habit and find that I do better when I don’t try to change things up too much. I had this recipe for feta and eggplant sandwiches I was going to try tonight, but my husband ended up working late, [...]
Today I’m starting a 10 day vegetarian diet. I’m not doing it because I’m opposed to meat, or because PETA just sent me a brochure (which they did). I’m doing it for purely selfish reasons…..to lose weight and to see if it makes me feel healthier. We eat a fairly healthy diet anyway, but have [...]
