My Journey

I've been a proclaimed "vegetarian" for almost a year, although before, I didn't eat much meat anyway because I didn't like it. In Dec 2009 I received a pamphlet in the mail from cancerproject.org that intrigued me. They are a nonprofit organization that's goals are to prevent cancer and improve survival after cancer.  They conduct research studies to investigate dietary issues and publicize the need for healthy diet changes. I believe that what we eat and how we treat our bodies can affect our lives. There are foods that prevent cancer. Research has shown that people who eat a diet free of animal products, high in plant foods, and low in fat have a much lower risk of developing cancer.  This news, my dislike of meat, and love for animals made it easy to make the switch to a meat-free diet. This site has many delicious recipes that I use and with more searching I have found other sites that I love. 

*Most of the recipes that I post have been "tested" and labeled good by my husband, who is NOT a vegetarian. Others are ones on my list to try. These recipes make it easy to transition to a meat-free vegetarian/vegan diet.
