Livin’ on the Vedge, Day 1

Posted by: Greta on: September 22nd, 2008  »  1 comment

Okay, so this vegetarian thing wasn’t bad at all today! For breakfast, I had my favourite Isagenix chocolate shake with a tablespoon of Salba mixed in. My mid-morning snack was my old standy, a peanut-butter-and-banana roll-up (whole grain tortilla slathered in peanut butter, insert banana and roll up)…simple and dee-lish. Lunch was very late as I was swamped at work. I had lemon-dill hummus with tons of cut-up veggies. Janet kindly gave me a dark chocolate nugget at around 2:30 pm. I sat at my desk working until 7 pm and was ABSOLUTELY STARVING by the time I got home at  7:15 pm. I quickly made my most favourite salad ever, my corn and black bean salad with mango and avocado, and proceeded to eat a giant bowlful. It never tasted so good! Looking back at my day, I think I could have consumed more calories, but I was honestly just too busy to eat.

Tomorrow is a challenge, because I’m in Toronto all day meeting with three “contenders” who’ll be starring in season 3 of our Food Network TV show. I’ll be sampling their dishes which include a) cannelloni…okay cuz it’s spinach and ricotta, no meat; b) carrot cake with cream cheese icing…no meat in there either, thank goodness, and c) deep-fried panzerotti…PROBLEM…it has bacon and pepperoni in it. Perhaps I’ll just smell it.

I’m thinking a big batch of vegetarian chili should help get me through the week, so if I get a chance, I’ll whip that up tomorrow night.

I’m so glad red wine doesn’t have meat in it, as I’m enjoying a glass right now (for its health benefits, of course). Until we meat again….

    This vegetarian says to keep it up! You can do it! Hopefully you’ll inspire others to do the same, and maybe you’ll even be inspired to come out with an entirely vegetarian cookbook …
