My Journey

 Into

Vegetarianism

Not surprisingly it began with a dedicated Yoga practice.  I was brought up eating meat and to enjoy "fine dining".  The fancier the dish the more it should be appreciated....veal, foie gras, frogs legs etc.  In my teen years where I learned the cruelty behind these specialty items I could no longer eat them yet I continued to eat "regular" meat.

Then I quit doing aerobics (which I never enjoyed) and began doing Yoga.  No one told me to stop eating meat....it just happened organically.....as if I was absorbing the ancient teachings through the physical practice.  First I could no longer eat the flesh of a pig.  This was difficult as some of my best recipes involved bacon! 

Then some years later I could not eat the flesh of any mammal.  This was an easy step for me to take however it was difficult for my family.  Although they are supportive and understanding I am the only vegetarian in my family. 

I have found it challenging to find recipes that satisfy my husband and 2 children

So here are some of my crowd pleasing favourites

Please share your recipes with me too.  I need all the help I can get!  I Love Vegan and Raw Recipes as well.
