Two Weeks of a Vegetarian Lifestyle



Well, my DH was feeling sluggish and requested a two week vegetarian diet and then slide into a flexitarian lifestyle.  This all started on Friday with black bean soup and caprese sandwiches.  It was wonderful!  Saturday we started the day with cinnamon-apple stuffed french toast and for dinner grilled portobello mushroom burgers with a lovely salad with grilled peaches, blueberries, raspberries, granola, toasted almonds & goat cheese with a lite raspberry vinegrette.  Sunday we started with a frittata with summer vegetables and dinner was baked ziti with summer vegetables.  Last night, I served black bean burrito bake, yellow rice and rotel with tostitoes.  So far it has been enjoyable.  I have been keeping up with articles about vegetarian deficiences and using variety to maintain proper nutrition.  The whole family seem happy with their meals.  Our son has noticed an increase in energy but I have been lacking in energy.  It has taken a lot of time to research in order to have recipes to make but I am happy for the new recipes.
