So, I'm a Vegetarian...finally!

Ok, so for years I've wanted to become a vegetarian. I tried many times, but when I was younger, I really didn't like vegetables. You can't really be a vegetarian and not like vegetables. So, I've used the past few years to really train myself to like vegetables. I've been working at coming up with ways to cook vegetables so they actually taste good. Another part of making this happen was just getting over myself, sucking it up and just trying new things. I am very proud of myself. I am eating things that I never would have even taken a bite of back in the day. I am doing it and I am doing it the right way.

Vegetables don't have to be gross. When cooked the right way, they can actually taste pretty yummy. There are also a lot more meat replacements that they didn't have back when I was in high school or at least I didn't know about them at the time. Kristian is actually doing pretty good with it. For those of you who know Kristian, you would be impressed at his willingness to try things. He'll still eat meat, but is open to trying new things, which is HUGE for him. The kids are also benefiting from this too.

I've been doing this for almost a month now and feel great!
