Vegetarian Month. Day One

So my husband decided last month that for the month of May we would go vegetarian. No meat for one month. That includes chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, fish etc. etc. I'll be honest, it's going to be a bit of a struggle for me. I am a meat girl. I love meat. I don't eat just meat, but I tend to eat a lot of it. Jeremy wants us to be healthier so I agreed to the challenge on one condition-Jeremy had to give up soda pop for the month as well. He probably drinks more soda pop than I eat meat. So we're both doing something really difficult. But our end goal will be to eat healthier. Now keep in mind we are not going vegan, just vegetarian so I can still enjoy milk and cheese as well as eggs. We decided we would blog about our vegetarian adventure and post pictures and recipes so everyone else can enjoy them too. We are excited about experimenting with new recipes and trying new vegetables so as hard as it will be to not eat meat, it will be an adventure!!


Today is Day One. For breakfast, I had two fried eggs and a piece of toast along with a tasty smoothie. I used plain yogurt, fresh strawberries, a whole orange, some milk and a little bit of sugar. It was pretty good.
