Introduction

For a long time, I didn't even seriously consider becoming vegetarian because I just didn't think I'd get enough protein. At restaurants and catered events, the veggie option was never filling. Also, I don't really eat pasta because it makes me fat, so this blog is a collection of the protein-rich vegetarian entrees I am eating each day. Most have been tested and recommended by other sites or people, though some I modify. I should warn that I'm not much of a cook, so these recipes are mostly all of the favorites I've collected from everywhere--books, blogs, sites, friends, etc.

Why I Became a Vegetarian
For a long time, I've felt guilty every time I ate meat and finally wanted to put my habits more in line with my values. Finally, after having a child and spending most of time either at petting zoos or reading stories where talking animals are the protagonists, I couldn't take it any more. I had to try. Going pescatarian (I eat fish) was my 2010 New Year's Resolution, and so far, so good. (I will taste meat on occasion, though I don't cook it at home or order it out).

Getting Started Veg
I found the best way to get started was to find a few veggie recipes I really liked and build that repetoire. I should note I am, and this blog is pescatarian (I eat fish--I'm not a real vegetarian).
