My Mostly Green diary!

[missy1978]

Thank you. In the last week I've become vegetarian.......never used to eat meat much anyway but I've also now cut out fish... It's actually much harder than I thought due to all the hidden things like gelatine etc! I will have to seek your diary out for ideas x

Welcome to veggie-dom! It is hard to start with when you're watching out for hidden, non-veggie ingredients but you'll get used to it soon enough.

Gelatine is the main one but keep an eye out for cochineal too (animal based red colouring - it's not so commonly used these days fortunately) and animal rennet in cheese. Parmesan is a nightmare, I've only ever found one vegetarian parmesan-like cheese and pre-made pesto is usually off limits too. There are so many wonderful veggie recipes though, you'll be spoiled for choice x

Having 2 boiled eggs as a snack......Chocolate is calling me yet again so I figure this is much better for me! Why haven't these cravings gone yet??! lol
