You Eat No Meat??

This quote is taken from one of my ALL TIME favorite movies-- My Big Fat Greek Wedding. When Tula's family learns that Ian is a vegetarian, her aunt says "That's ok- I make lamb."

Eating meat is a lifestyle, it is the way many of us are brought up. So-- what makes someone decide to ditch the beef and eat a veggie burger??

Every vegetarian has a different reason. I still eat chicken and just gave up red meat about a year and a half ago. I gave it up and haven't looked back.

But most importantly- studies show giving up meat helps your heart, shrinks cancer risk, clears up your skin and helps the environment. PLUS- with the right eating routine- it can shrink your belly fat too.

Maybe you are giving up meat for lent?? I'm not preaching that you give up meat all together completely. But  just consider limiting it once in a while.

P.S. I LOVE vegetarian food. There are a couple frozen foods that make my mouth water. And I feel BETTER and full when I eat them.

One of my favorites? Morningstar makes GREAT, YUMMY brands that don't taste icky. Their buffalo wings taste like buffalo chicken nuggets. Their lasagna is also a big winner.

Are you willing to try? Just take ONE DAY out of the week and make it a "Meatless Monday." It is a good trial course.

And that's today's dish :-)
