Vegetarian Month

Well, I guess technically it should be called "pescatarian month", as we're still eating fish, but somehow that doesn't have quite the same ring to it!

Hubby & I have decided to stop eating meat for a month, to see what affect it has on our cholesterol (and weight), and also as a kind of detox before the gluttony of the holiday season is upon us.

We're not going to cook meat, or go out of our way to eat it, but if someone's gonna offer us some meaty deliciousness on occasion, we probably won't say no.

Luckily our toddler LOVES fish, and is only so-so on chicken & red meat most of the time anyway (except for rotisserie chicken, sausages, hotdogs & meatloaf, of course!). He also (usually) eats beans, so his protein intake shouldn't suffer too much. However, he's been pretty fussy lately, so I don't know how he'll handle some of the new vegetarian dishes we'll be trying.

I guess we'll see!

A friend of mine is vegetarian & has a great blog with lots of yummy veggie recipes, so I'll be trying out some of them this month, along with some old favorites.
