Although I am no top chef, I do pride myself on being relatively good cook. I love cooking a good homemade meal for myself after a long day of classes, work, and working out. About six years ago I became a vegetarian because I do not like the idea of killing animals just so I can eat, especially when plants offer the same nutrients. I like knowing that I am eating healthy and positively affecting the earth. There are many more positives to switching to a plant-based diet other than just health. I will not go into all of them but I will definitely share my thoughts and arguments with anyone who wants to hear them!
While I love being a vegetarian it is sometimes hard to find filling meal ideas. So I turn to cookbooks and recipe blogs! A lot of meat recipes can be altered to fit my vegetarian diet but I always am more inspired by vegan and vegetarian blogs. Here are some of my go-to's:
Veggie Belly is a go-to site for recipes for me. It is a vegetarian recipe blog that always has killer ideas and delicious looking photos. Cannot get enough of this website's "How-To" section, a life saver.
A little bit more of a life style blog,
Love, Veggies and Yoga is a website I visit when I want to feel inspired to get out and move around a little. I, too, practice yoga and like the simple and delicious recipes offered to follow up my workouts with.
Vegan eating has always intrigued me. I would love to move to a more vegan diet but it really is a complete lifestyle change.
Would Rather Gather offers me inspiration for dinning. I visit this blog to get some vegan ideas and try and incorporate them more into my diet.
