So I've been thinking about eating less meat for a while now. Not really for any ethical reasons - I'm very comfortable eating organic or free range meat, but partly for health reasons, and partly as a culinary challenge. I like to to think I'm a reasonably competent home cook, but then I don't think it's that difficult making a tasty meal with a bit of spicy chorizo, a sprinkling of salty lardons, and who doesn't like a lovely juicy steak? So having twisted hubby's arm a bit, well a lot to be honest, I've decided the best way to do it is to go all Hugh FW and go totally meat free for a month, give or take a few days. If I lose a bit of weight in the process that's great, if not, I'm sure I'll be a bit healthier for it all the same. What better way to track my progress than a self indulgent blog?
So today I started cautiously with meals I've done before. Porridge for breakfast, Shop bought soup for lunch and dinner was a cheese and leek stuffed jacket potato with ranch salad. It's gone 10pm and I'm not starving, though I have had a few Christmas chocolates. Anyway - here's to an exciting month of eating!
