My family and I did a brief stint as vegetarians when I was twelve years old, but have since retreated back to our carnivorous ways. After nine years of post-vegetarian eating, I decided it was time to try it again. This was, at first, prompted by my college student budget vs. the cost of meat, but after a few weeks of eating my fair share of veggies, I felt so much healthier! I have never been one to diet, but I recently looked into the blood type diet, and what do you know, my A- blood and I thrive on fruits and veggies! I've been loving roasted asparagus and tomato/mozzarella salads with a glass of dark red wine. That counts as a fruit, right? I've also recently discovered that avocados with a squirt of lemon and a splash of salt and pepper is divine. We will have to wait and see how long I can keep this up for, especially when I move back home this summer and my dad gets the barbeque fired up- but I have a good feeling my veggie ways are here to stay a while. And yes, mama, I am getting enough protein.
