Veggie Day 3

So, today is day number three of being a vegetarian.  So far, so good.  I haven’t really been craving any meat, and I haven’t been feeling massively hungry either.  I’m not sick of salad yet, though I’m sure that will come.  So far, my diet looks like:

Breakfast:  Fruit smoothie and decaf coffee(s)
Lunch:  Salad and tomatoes to snack on
Snack:  Miso soup or tea with milk
Dinner:  Cooked vegetables (broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms), stuffed peppers, salad, soup (tomato, vegetable, carrot & coriander, broccoli & cheddar, etc.)

Yesterday I had an adventure at the grocery store.  I don’t want to get sick of vegetables, so I went in search of vegetarian foods.  I bought vegetarian sausages and burger patties.  My local shops don’t carry tofu (grr!) but I was able to find some pre-marinated and sliced tofu that I can put in stir-fry.  I also bought a bunch of quorn.  I was introduced to quorn after I finished my Lighter Life diet—it’s pretty unappealing on its own but if you mix it with tomato sauce and spices its actually pretty tasty!  I haven’t opened any of my new foods yet, but I plan to give them a shot over the weekend.  Food experiments—my favourite!
