A week ago I declared my desire to give up the consumption of living things and become a vegetarian. I know that it's something that isn't as easy to actually follow through with as it is to talk about.... and used several tips from the PETA website to help me get through week 1... I chose not to go "cold turkey"... mostly because I don't want to jump into a fad... and rather make a full circle lifestyle change. The majority of my days were vegetarian days.... and a couple I had a small amount of meat. But I plan on completely fading out of that trend in the next couple weeks. I just thought all at one time, was #1 wasteful to what I already have in my fridge, and #2.... I had already done all of my meal planning for my husband and kids and hope that my next shopping trip will be full of fun new recipes that I can eat freely and that my husband, who is NOT ever going to give up meat (he says) can eat the "way" he wants.
So here's to this next week.... my new recipes... healthier choices and to hoping my husband doesn't give me too much crap!

I'm so happy I decided to become a vegetarian, and that I still am one. 
I feel great and it's been pretty easy for me to make the transition. I don't miss or crave meat at all, I'm just not sure how to cook without it. I have been trying new recipes. Some aren't so great, but I'll keep practicing. I'm a really good cook, so I'm sure practice will make perfect. I wonder how many animals I'm saving by being a vegetarian?

Now I want to be Vegan. I was on Farm Santuary when I saw a video (I didn't even watch, just read the description) and saw that it was about a mother cow chasing after a worker who was dragging her poor baby calf away from her-it was still wet after being born. Then I realized that how can I be for the animals if I consume dairy. Consuming dairy means I am talking away from the calf what it should rightfully have and causing the mother cow pain....and I can't be against cruelty if I do that. I had also been talking to Daniel here on Care2.....and I realized that dairy also contributes to the horrible veal industry as well. I am glad I saw the light, now I can go a step further.
So, today I went out and brought Silk soymilk and yogurt...combing through the ingredients on my usual foods (like bread, snacks etc) isn't easy, and I do have leftover cheese and a few more leftover things that I will finish up (so I am not being wasteful to the animal I have already caused pain to). As for eggs, I will try Ener-G egg replacement just cause I am curious. The cold weather has left my mother's pet hens not as interested in laying, so I'll try that until they start again. I heard applesause can be used in place of eggs too...I'll see how that works. No Toffuti ice cream at Jewel, so I made do with sorbet (yes I admit I am weird enough to eat that in January!) Still can't find vegan margerine or sour cream there either....thankfully Peapod sells it, so no big deal, I guess.
I want to stress that I am doing this out of compassion, love and Buddhism, not to be trendy. I just have to say that because I know someone who drinks soymilk, eats veggie burgers and claims to be "vegan-like"...and also eats sushi because it's "healthy". People who do stuff like that ruin it for the true Vegs and Vegans out there and make me so mad!
