My first no-meat day.

As I wrote about previously, I am planning on making a massive reduction in my meat consumption. I am starting this by gradually replacing my usual meals with vegetarian meals. Yesterday was my first day to purposefully go "meat-free"!

I certainly will not say that this was a perfect example of a well-balanced, nutritional, and completely animal/enviornmentally friendly, but it was a small step in the right direction.

Breakfast:
Cereal with Skim Milk
Organic Apple

Lunch:
Fresh Spinach Salad with
     olives, radishes, green onions, carrots

Snack:
Raw Almonds
Mozerella String Cheese

Dinner:
Whole Wheat Pasta with Spinach, Ricotta Cheese and Tomatoes

So, all in all, I didn't even notice that there was anything different about today's meals. I didn't experience any cravings or feel like I was lacking in any area!

I plan on doing a little more research on vegetarian meals and putting together some delicious recipes, but will update as things move along.

Know any great and easy "meat-free" recipes?
