Happy 2012! I hope you all had a fun and enjoyable New Years filled with friends, family, food, and of course bubbly! I mentioned in my
27 at 27 post, I am not the biggest New Year's resolution person. Throughout the year, I am constantly setting goals and making lifestyle changes to become a better person and challenge myself. However, my latest challenge/healthy lifestyle change just happens to coincide with a new calendar year. I have decided to do "Meatless Mondays" in 2012. (
side note: while I hate making exceptions to things, I will be attending Dinner in the Dark on Monday January 16. Therefore, January 17 will be Meatless Tuesday). I am looking forward to trying new recipes and the potential challenges of dining at some of my favorite restaurants and having limited options.
So I have to ask you, what are your food related New Year's resolutions? Here's to a healthy, happy, and not so hungry 2012!
Until next time...follow your heart, fulfill your hunger!

I think you'll be surprised to see how many vegetarian options are available these days. Obviously, I'm a vegetarian so I encounter these kinds of challenges everyday, but for the most part, I feel like the majority of restaurants in CLE either offer vegetarian dishes or will make something up special if you ask nicely.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that I do for a meatless meal is to roast an acorn squash with stuffing in it. It's really filling and nice on a really cold day.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to eat more vegetarian foods although I'm not doing meatless monday yet- I usually just eat veggie when I feel like it haha! Eggs and kidney beans/chickpeas are my go to vegetarian foods :D
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your journey :D
