I am a vegetarian, he is not. I have to get creative when meal planning to make sure most of our meals are something that I can eat AND that I can add meat to for him. Is it annoying to have to do that all the time? Yes, but when I said I wanted to go vegetarian, he was on board, so I make compromises and so does he. We eat totally vegetarian meals about 2 times per week. I'm sure he wishes I wasn't a vegetarian haha but he doesn't complain. Sometimes, we eat totally separate meals, but we eat them together. Oh and I track my food just to make sure I am getting enough of all the nutrients my body needs and I have found time and time again that my saturated fat and cholesterol levels are very low. It's a very nice added benefit! My stomach is also flatter than it used to be, which I hear is due to less food (i.e. meat) being stored for days on end in my intestines (lovely, lol).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-59429664760360418072012-04-18T17:03:30.117-04:002012-04-18T17:03:30.117-04:00i hope this doesnt come across judgmental, but i f...i hope this doesnt come across judgmental, but i find it odd that you chose to talk him out of it rather than educate him on how he could make it work (for his lifestyle, for yours, etc). youre an RD so your knowledge is powerful and you have the opportunity to make a difference in sharing it. the benefits of going meatless are astounding - potential weight loss is only a fraction of it - cardiovascular health, environmental conservation, animal rights, and beyond. <br />since he enjoyed this meatless meal so much, perhaps it's be proof that he'd be successful with a little bit of coaching.elisehttp://www.hungryhungryhippie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-540329564696031602012-04-18T17:03:29.575-04:002012-04-18T17:03:29.575-04:00i hope this doesnt come across judgmental, but i f...i hope this doesnt come across judgmental, but i find it odd that you chose to talk him out of it rather than educate him on how he could make it work (for his lifestyle, for yours, etc). youre an RD so your knowledge is powerful and you have the opportunity to make a difference in sharing it. the benefits of going meatless are astounding - potential weight loss is only a fraction of it - cardiovascular health, environmental conservation, animal rights, and beyond. <br />since he enjoyed this meatless meal so much, perhaps it's be proof that he'd be successful with a little bit of coaching.elisehttp://www.hungryhungryhippie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-6705494320986943762012-04-17T13:56:10.574-04:002012-04-17T13:56:10.574-04:00I agree with you some veg meals great but 100%- ha...I agree with you some veg meals great but 100%- hard. As for mushrooms, are they portabello or portabella and why do they get called both?

I had one this weekend at a restaurant, but I took it off the bread (it was still good). <br /><br />I think there are so many misconceptions about vegetarianism and how it will make a person healthier automatically just by doing it (and it's frustrating!)... at the same time, I often go several days without meat just because I don't always think about it or want it. Take away my cheese and eggs though, and I may throw a fit! :-)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09591837775961213179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-65956770515398589782012-04-16T13:54:02.399-04:002012-04-16T13:54:02.399-04:00this looks fabulous gina! love some mushrooms for...this looks fabulous gina! love some mushrooms for sure :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-13789115786681144512012-04-16T11:47:06.853-04:002012-04-16T11:47:06.853-04:00Looks delicious.
