How I became a VEGETARIAN

Written By Gela on Thursday, October 31, 2013 | 12:32 PM


I have been a vegetarian since I was 9 years old. I simply stopped liking meat, chicken and fish. I do eat dairy products, however I rarely eat eggs and they have to be camouflaged and burnt to a crisp.

I have never been a good cook and my poor children had to suffer through the less than desirable meals that I would serve to them. To this day they joke about memorable disaster dishes that I put in front of them. Burnt steak still frozen in the middle was probably one of the most embarrassing moments. I did make tasty birthday cakes for them, except for one year when the center was raw! I have to laugh, cooking is just not my thing.

A few years ago my friend Sue made me this sinfully delicious dinner as a house warming meal. She knew it would be the only time that my stove would get any use, and it was! 

 Susan's Kitchen: Boiled fiddleheads made with butter, lemon salt and pepper. Pasta with garlic, butter & parmesan. Ciabbata rolls with fresh mozzarella, tomato, cucumbers, fresh basil leaves.  

Now that I am living alone and my children have all moved out on their own, I do not cook for myself at all, ever! I am always getting asked, "what the heck do you eat." To answer this question I have listed literally all of the food that I have in my house at all times. I eat tiny portions all day long from the second I wake up until right before bed. Basically I snack all day with no large meals. This keeps my metabolism fueled and I never feel hungry. *Please note I am not promoting that my food choices are considered healthy or nutritionally balanced. This is just how I eat and what works for my body. 
Another question that I get asked a lot is, "what do you eat when you go out to dinner?" I never restrict myself from enjoying food. It's all about portion control. I usually order side dishes or I will take a doggie bag home and eat leftovers the next day. I have started taking pictures of every meal that I order when I go out. I have an extremely bland taste pallet and I am doing my best to try new things.
