Being a Vegetarian

Okay, I am not a full fledged vegetarian, but my wife and I have decided to be vegetarians for the month of February. It is not that difficult, because we don't eat much meat on a regular bases. We do eat a good bit of chicken and turkey, but it really wasn't that big a lifestyle change.

I have told a lot of people about our big change for this month and they all act surprised. It really isn't that hard. It becomes more difficult if meals aren't already prepared, but if you make stuff in advance, then it isn't that bad. We are eating a lot of beans, rice, eggs, and some other great stuff that my wife fixes (you need to check out her blog for that).

We weren't making a statement by doing this, we just thought it would be something different to do. We all eat the same stuff all the time, so maybe try and switch it up every now and then and do something different. It will get you thinking about what you eat and how little thought you usually put into it. You don't have to choose the road we did, but through something different into your routine and maybe you will like the change. In March we will go back to eating meat, but we found some new dishes and a new way to think about what we cook, so it has been worth it.
