I have had such an adventure navigating through changing how I think of food, especially when it comes to veggies vs. meat.\u00a0 I have enjoyed trying new recipes.\u00a0 I have always wanted to put more effort in trying new things, and experiementing with a Vegetarian based diet sure gave me the motivation.\u00a0I have discovered so many great reciepies from a number of different places.\u00a0 What makes them the best is when my kids will eat them with a smile.<\/p>\n
Since my inspiration came from “Forks Over Knives” I use their site and recipe book as a resource.\u00a0 I have found wonderful recipes like Veggie Chilli, Potato Enchiladas, and Baked Stuffed Tomatoes with Couscous.\u00a0 These have turned into staple recipes that I will double batch and eat through the week.\u00a0 I never seem to get tired of them, and thank goodness, neither do my kids.<\/p>\n
My kids are my true motivation.\u00a0 I have a responsiblity to set the example of a healthy lifestyle of fitness, but also how to eat in a healthy way.\u00a0 I want them to know that healthy eating is still enjoyable and delicious.\u00a0 I think eating healthy has gotten a bad rap.\u00a0 We assume is means restriction, bland, boring eating.\u00a0 That is simple not true.\u00a0 I actually feel so\u00a0much better and enjoy my meals so much more knowing that they taste great and are fueling my body with nutrients, not things I will regret later.<\/p>\n
