To Become a Vegetarian or To Not Become a Vegetarian

We will be embarking on a new adventure....possibly....
Aunt Sarah and Uncle Wayne are vegetarians and they make it work. I always thought I could never become a vegetarian because I need my meat! But according to the research I've done most meat eating Americans get much more protein than they actually need. And it's very easy to get enough protein in a vegetarian diet (or pesco-vegetarian- which includes fish). And a Pesco-Vegetarian diet is the healthiest vegetarian lifestyle.
Now you may ask why I am considering this? Well, it's not because I'm an animal lover! If you know me, then you know that is far from the truth! I don't hate animals....I'm just not a big fan of them:)
I have watched a couple of documentaries about where our food comes from and it has really opened my eyes! Yes, animals that are being raised to be slaughtered are treated badly. But they are also pumped up with so much bad stuff and fed foods they were not created to eat! Cows are given a corn based diet. They were created to be grass grazing animal, not to eat corn! In fact, the corn diet is so bad for them that they have to put antibiotics in their corn food so they don't get sick and die!!! And we are eating that antibiotic, hormone pumped meat????? I really wonder what a grass grazing cow would taste like.... If I could afford it I would buy all organic meat.
So, that is why I am considering taking the plunge! My husband actually suggested we try eating this way for two weeks and see how we feel....he doesn't think I can do it! So, starting this coming Monday we will embark on a two week vegetarian diet...and who knows where it may lead!
Headed to the grocery store....

Delicious Friday!

Yay, it's Friday! Yes I still get excited for Fridays even though I stay at home. It means the weekend is here and my hubby will be home!
So, I was in a baking mood today... The peach cobbler has been calling my name all day, but I've resisted temptation and I'm waiting to eat it for dessert after dinner. The peanut butter cookies are oh so yummy! And the Granola is ready to snack on and packed with healthy yummies:)
Aunt Sarah is on her way here as I type this. This weekend is the first weekend of a very busy three weekends! Tomorrow we will be having a tent at the St. Patrick's Day Festival on the Square here in Ocala. The 20th we will be at Crafts in the Park in Auburndale. And on March 27th we will be at the Odd Duck Bazaar in Davie, FL. So come out and see us! We are excited and hoping to do great at all three places! Everything is made and ready to go for tomorrow....just have to price a few things and do last minute preperations and we will be good!
Yay for Fridays, Peach Cobbler, and Craft Shows!!!!!

Where are You Warm Weather?

So it's March. We live in the Sunshine State. And it's still freezing outside!!! When will the warm weather return?!? I mean, I love the cold weather and all. But it seems like this winter has been abnormally colder than previous winters. We will have a nice day or two, but then the wind starts blowing and here comes a cold front! Again! I'm getting tired of bundling up in the mornings when I go out for a run.
The cold weather is great around the Holidays....but, Spring, I'm ready for you!!!
