Week 1 down

It went well, there wasn't any real challenge to overcome. The first week I planned on taking things easy, I have bigger things planned for coming weeks...

I improvised a casserole with Quorn nuggets instead of chicken, potatoes, and mixed veggies.  Came out pretty well, and very filling.  We had pizza one night - tomatoes and spinach, and had enough left over for lunch the next day.  Salmon & tilapia found there way into our bellies as well.

Some recipes I have my eye on...

Vegan Curry

Root Vegetable Shepherd's Pie

Traditional Baked Ziti (I'll make my own sauce for this one)

My pal Chaz hooked me up with some stock recipes, I'm going to make a big batch of veggie stock to freeze into portions - we'll be using a lot of this for making brown rice, quinoa, and soups.

And check out Foodluv's post on vegetarian/vegan options at Dunkin Donuts!

Hi There

Hi! This is the first post in my year-long experiment of eliminating red meat and poultry from my diet. Fish, dairy, and eggs are ok, and of course tofu/seitan/tempeh and many of the products from Morningstar Farms, Quorn, & Boca, among others.

Drop in from time to time and see how I'm doing, offer suggestions/praise/encouragement/, check out recipes and experiments, and product reviews.

Peace!
