Thanks for sharing! You're right about it seeming complicated to those of us who don't fully understand those type of diets, but I do appreciate that point of view when it comes to eating. Its obviously very healthy. When my husband and I first met, he was a vegetarian but my meat eating ways tempted him every time we went out and so I changed him. Later in our relationship, I wanted to try a different approach to losing weight, so I purchased a vegetarian cookbook, did a lot of research and wanted to try it out. At the time I worked at a car dealership and the guys that work there are extremely crude and offered no support at all -- actually they made lots of fun of me, especially on saturdays, which held a long tradition of BBQ's of varying types of meat. Needless to say, that lifestyle change didn't happen.
But now, I do limit my red meat in take, and eat turkey burgers which are sooo much tastier than regular hamburger and you wouldn't even know the difference if someone didn't tell you. I eat steak sparingly.
I appreciate you telling us the different kinds of foods that you eat. It would be so wonderful if you made a dish or two of your vegan recipes for us to try. Maybe you could be in charge of the desserts for that day?
If you wanted to, (you don't have to if you don't want to, I'd be more than willing to do it with proper direction) you could make the marinade for the veggie kabobs using your recipe. Or like I said, you can just give me a list of ingredients to use, and I can try to make it myself!
Oh how excited I am getting! This is going to be so much darn fun!
