Hope everyone had a great holiday season and now it's time to join the real world again. After a lot of thought and reading, I have decided to become a flexitarian. It's not completely vegetarian, but I have cut meat down to 2 times a week. It also means including a lot beans like chickpeas and black beans in my diet (which means a lot of fiber. sorry kids)
In the morning I have oatmeal with raisins and flax seed and then a banana for a snack. For lunch I have salads with tons of veggies, beans, balsamic, and an apple. Because of the fiber it's extremely filling. I'm thinking either a granola bar or almonds for my afternoon snack. Dinners are going to be the challenging part of my day. Luckily, my husband Mark has agreed to join me on my new journey, but it's still tough to make healthy dinner choices that include protein without meat.
I am just starting out and plan on sharing recipes on here. I would love to hear some of your favorite vegetarian recipes and also some recipes that include chicken and beef.
