About Me and This Blog

I've been a vegetarian for almost six years now. For the first four years, I was a pescetarian (I ate fish). These days, I lean towards veganism and am very passionate about animal rights and welfare. Before going veg, I ate A LOT of meat. In fact, I had a bumper sticker on my first car that read "If we're not supposed to eat animals, then why do they taste so good?" Yeah, I was that person. I loved cooking meat, now I love cooking vegetarian EVEN MORE.

I post a lot of stories about animals and veggie food on facebook, and friends started asking me for recipes and more information on how to be a healthy vegetarian. This blog is my answer to those questions. Most if not all of the recipes can be made vegan by omitting cheese or subbing with vegan "cheese". Email me anytime.

Eating Out - Mexican

Thought I should do a post about eating out, and how easy it is to eat veg no matter where you are.  Since I ate my lunch for breakfast today, I needed something for lunch. I'm lucky enough to work near a small mall with a decently-sized food court.  There's a salad bar, Chinese place, Indian curry place, Thai place, Quizno's, soup and sandwich joint, a deli and a Taco del Mar, just off the top of my head.  They have veg options at every one of those places. 

Today I opted for a quesadilla from the Taco del Mar - beans and salsa between a crispy tortilla with a side of hot sauce and guac, all for under $7.  A veg version wasn't on the menu, but when I asked for it, it wasn't a problem. They wanted to make it with cheese and salsa but instead of cheese, I asked for beans - mixture of black and refried. No problem. I've eaten three of the four triangles and I'm STUFFED. High-protein and YUMMY.
