I'm currently on Day 28 of my "experiment" with vegetarianism and I am a happy girl. The hardest times for me have been when my boyfriend takes me along to the Rib place here in town, or when I drive past Bono's BBQ and their smoke is billowing out. Other than that, I honestly have not missed meat.
What I am having a problem with though is sweets and carbs! I have actually gained weight since altering my diet, which isn't a huge problem as I'm underweight for my height anyway but it's still weird. I'm blaming it partly on starting yoga at the same time and hoping some of it is muscle weight. ;)
Slightly weary about it though and currently researching low carb vegetables. I'm not eating potatoes all the time or anything so what the heck! Lots of stir-frys and skewers on the grill.
Apparently squash is pretty carby which totally sucks because they are a recent favorite for me. I made this butternut squash bisque we ate when we visited The Biltmore for our anniversary. Soooo good! Here's the recipe in case you want to try, it really was yummy.
I plan to try out this muffin recipe this week from Delighted Momma for Low Carb Chocolate Chip Muffins in an effort to cut down more on the big bad carbs. Mmmm... chocolate! Is it lunch time yet?
