The Challenge

I am not a vegetarian but have decided to take on this challenge (and, my husband has graciously accepted the challenge, too!) to make and eat purely vegetable based meals in 2010.

It will be interesting to see what changes may take place in our lives due to this dietary change.

Will we save money, not buying meat? Or will our food intake increase in order to feel full, thus rounding out the bill?

I admit that we do buy a lot of fresh produce as it is, shopping regularly at our local farmers market. I have a feeling that our bill won't change much, but we'll see.

Anyway. Finance isn't the main goal of this challenge. It is to see what delights await us in what still appears to be the "under-dog" of lifestyle choices. Atmittedly, restaurants are becoming much more "vegetarian" friendly, sporting vegetarian meal choices on the menu. But these choices do not outweigh their meatier counterparts.

Tonight will be my first dinner post, displaying photos of our first vegetarian meal of 2010. Stay tuned!
