I will be getting back to this blog soon....as usual, daily life has seemed to interfere with timely posting.
I now eat entirely as a vegetarian--actually, I am closer to a vegan (with the exception of an occasional egg). Recipes from this point forward will reflect that change. The last red meat/turkey/chicken I consumed was Christmas Eve 2010...and the last fish was consumed on New Year's Eve 2010. I started my New Year off with an even more altered lifestyle than before. I simply can't digest meat...it's not worth the misery I suffer when attempting to eat it. This choice is also a good fit with my love of animals, and a decision I had actually pondered for years (voluntarily, stemming from my emotions, not just due to my health issues). I was always bothered by the idea of an innocent creature having to give their life to provide me a meal. Now, I can truly feel good about what goes into my body. No one is harmed (unless the news report I saw once that plants have feelings is correct, in which case, I would feel terrible), and the menu choices I have discovered and keep discovering are healthy and delicious. You won't find any deprivation here! My new motto has become "if I can't find a healthy and safe alternative for it, I didn't need it in the first place."
Bear with me, as the construction of this site continues...
