I probably looked like some kind of freak when I went grocery shopping today. Healthy, healthy, healthy . . . and no meat! I was a vegetarian for years and sometimes I revert back to it without even realizing. Being a vegetarian comes naturally to me-- I sometimes even have to concentrate on getting meat into my diet. Even as a baby, I spit my meat back out. I remember sitting at the dinner table as a little girl, long after everyone else had gotten up. I remember hearing, "Hannah, when you eat 3 bites of meat you can get up. You need your protein."
Anyway, after reading through a vegetarian magazine today, I found a bunch of fresh recipes and then went to the store for this week's groceries. I must've looked like a health nut. I bought organic milk (always do-- I once heard if you buy anything organic, buy organic milk), spinach leaves, butter lettuce, yogurt (flavored and plain), sprouts, a pineapple, an English cucumber, lemons and limes, a mango, strawberries, lite tofu, papaya juice, and an avocado. There will be many salads and healthy sandwiches this week. I will try to post some healthy summery recipes.

I just don't like it and it's texture sometimes. I would rather eat something that feels "fresh." I don't know how to describe it.

Posted by: Allison at May 16, 2005 09:52 AMI'm the odd one out here. I am a carnivore all the way. I have to consciously remind myself to eat fruits and vegetables! Reading your site is a good reminder to me! :)
Posted by: Robin at May 16, 2005 10:11 AMWell, that super healthy diet will come in handy since you'll be doin' some babymakin' soon! LOL! :D I'm trying to continue my pregnancy diet (because of breastfeeding now and just because it's good for me!).
Posted by: Lisanne at May 16, 2005 10:54 AMI also tend to go for more veggie items if my husband and I dine out and sometimes in my meal planning. Thankfully my hubby enjoys the occasional veggie panini. I much rather get a veggie burger or a portabello burger than a ham burger.
Posted by: ani at May 16, 2005 11:08 AMThat seriously sounds like my cart every week. I love buying food like that, and we're both lucky to live in warm(er) climates where they're always available.
However, if my husband shops with me, it's: red meat, chicken, fish, (he loves meat) poptarts, cinnamon toast crunch, doritos, mountain dew, and pudding. Lovely!
