Today is the Great American Meat Out and the first day of Spring!!!

What is the Great American Meat Out you ask? The Great American Meat Out is a day to "kick the meat habit (at least for a day) and explore a wholesome, nonviolent diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains." I have been a vegetarian for 17 years a vegan for 5 and I feel great! There are so many options when cooking as a vegan/vegetarian and so much yummy food.

I feel the best way for people to learn this is to try eating vegetarian/vegan, go to a vegetarian restaurant. Or if you are vegetarian cook a meal for a non veg friend. If you are in the Belmar area I highly recommend trying Kaya's Kitchen - 817 Belmar Plaza 732-280-1141.

Another time I will do a cookbook review but here are some of my favorites:
Veganomicon
The Joy of Vegan Baking
Eat Drink and Be Vegan
The Garden of Vegan
Vegan with a Vengance
How it all Vegan
La Dolce Vegan
Nonna's Italian Kitchen

Kicking the meat habit is not only beneficial for your health but also for the planet. There are plenty of great resources that can explain the horrible effect of factory farming and consumption of meat on our earth and health. Check out the current issue of Veg News it is full of resources, reviews, yummy recipes and 222 reasons why it is great to be veg!
