Trying

I'm trying not to eat meat.

Over the years I've become lazy with what I put in my mouth. 

I prepare & eat the same meals with no desire to do either really, so as with smoking I just stopped.

Again, like giving up smoking I've had to remove meat from my consciousness - so Dan's head chef and I do my own thing.

I'm taking it slowly, one day at a time, I haven't rushed off and bought up every vego cook book or printed reams on the subject, rather I'm approaching this intuitively.

I realise I require certain minerals & vitamins to stay healthy so I include these in my diet.

It turns out there's nothing to be scared of - it's been easy & enjoyable so far.

One of my favourite meals is this 'pizzary thing' which I've made for Dan and I on occasion - not sure the girls are up to tackling the combination of ingredients (that's a whole other post!)

  

 While preparing it for our lunch today, Dan asked "is that the yummy thing you make'?  Being a meat & 3 veg (3x a day if he could!) type of bloke I was overwhelmed with the desire to squeeze him - I restrained myself and instead gave him the bigger of the two.

I'm also trying to be more generous & understanding and with that in mind I will share with you what goes into;

'The Yummy Thing'

Start with Flat Bread spread with tomato paste or pasta sauce.
Lay on half of the bread in this order-

• chunks of Avocado
• sliced Capsicum
• tiniest bit of sliced onion
• sliced mushroom
• sliced zucchini
• cubed Feta (Danish is my favourite)  

Pre-heat oven to 160C. Slide in and leave for 8mins (check if worried). Slide out. Fold over. Cut. Eat.
