I have a love affair with meat. Steak, sushi, pork tenderloin, I love it all. Yet I’ve turned vegetarian for the month because I’m convinced of the health benefits of a plant-protein based diet versus an animal-protein based diet. The China Study. Read T.

I think I can, I think I can. I’m a carnivore turned vegan for the month, and that’s my mantra during these middle-miles. If you’ve ever run a marathon, you can understand that miles 16 through 20 are the hardest. Well, I’m there. My feet are pounding the pavement, and I want water, I mean, meat! … Continue reading
There’s nothing better than slicing your fork into a warm cheesy spinach ravioli and then dipping it into a steamy red marina sauce. The sweet aroma of garlic, with just a hint of a strawberry balsamic vinaigrette, compliments the artichokes. This meal has been my favorite home-cooked lacto-vegetarian meal.

I was a deer in the headlights, standing in the organic whole foods section of my grocery store this weekend. Armed with a grocery list of yummy looking vegetarian recipes, I was creating my … Continue reading
I recently took on a Health and Fitness Challenge for the month of December. Fellow blogger Valerie at AtlantaMomOfThree challenged us to set an exercise goal for the month and to report how we did on Mondays. My puny goal: Exercise 15 minutes, 3 times a week. Not so puny though with two pre-toddlers running … Continue reading
I am a meat eater. There’s nothing better in this world than a medium-rare rib eye. My mouth waters just thinking about slicing into that tender, juicy, pink meat. Delightful. Yet I’m thinking of becoming a vegetarian for the month of January. I asked my hubbie, “What do you think?” “I think that’s my worst … Continue reading
