Vegetarianism

It's been a few years since I maintained a vegetarian diet, but I've decided to go back to it now for a myriad of reasons (that I'll delve into in another post). For now, I thought it'd be interesting to track my journey from carnivore to herbivore through the eyes of a very fickle eater. So here goes.

Day 1: Breakfast was two Gardenburger sausage patties on biscuits I pulled out of the freezer. The biscuits were DELICIOUS (too delicious) but the sausage was very bland. Not enough spice to make my brain think that it could have been real sausage.

Lunch was a veggie delite sandwich from Subway. Something interesting about this sandwich is that 95% of the time it tasted like just about any other sandwich I would get from Subway. I usually read while I eat lunch, which kind of distracts from what I'm eating, and it hasn't even entered my mind that this sandwich is meatless. And it's like two bucks cheaper than a chicken bacon ranch. I've found heaven.

Dinner: Baked ziti. I never use meat sauce in my pasta dishes, so this was nothing new. Tasty as usual.

I survived day one and as I write this am enjoying another tasty veggie delite sandwich for day two's lunch. I've got some other Gardenburger and Boca products sitting in my fridge that I'm anxious to check out this week.
