I think that’s awesome! I’m vegan and I wouldn’t have it any other way. :)

I hate handling raw meat too. Ugh. I don’t mind handling steaks so much, but raw chicken is just sickening. That’s why I buy them preskinned and frozen because then they are way easier to handle and cook with.

Vegetarianism was fun for me as I got to discover different ways of cooking vegetables to use as a meat replacement.

What I always found so humorous too as the sheer amount of meat alternatives I found that it’s obvious people still love their meat but will deny it up and down.

I prefer sticking with regular diets including meats. I found vegetarianism (and veganism) far too expensive in the long run when I had done this a few years ago. It’s preposterous that if you want to eat healthier, you have to pay MUCH more.

PS – vegweb.com, theppk.com = My lifeline when I was vegetarian. You’ll find some amazing recipes in both of those. :)

I like the idea of being a vegetarian but, realistically, it wouldn’t work for me. Basically… I LOVE MEAT. I tried being vegetarian once where I refused to eat anything that used to alive. I only lasted a year!

Mmmmm. Stews are so yummy. I haven’t had one in the longest time, though – it’s not something you find in a college campus food setting :(

“Ah, effortless dinner that I’ll be able to freeze and have for a few nights running.”

You’re better than me. *usually digs through the freezer for a microwavable burrito or some instant ramen* ^^;

I could never go without. Which reminds me, I need to go to the grocery store and get some ground beef. I would have to eat a lot of non-meat food to fill me up, Ithink. I need the protein or I wouldn’t feel energized and full for the day

Pre-pregnancy I was very much voluntary vegetarian, even though I think vegetarianism is daft. It’s only because I need so much iron and protein now that I’m scoffing down steaks regularly.

I love stew. I add cheap dry cider for an extra kick.

I have to admit, I love vegetarian food. It’s not that I have a problem handling meat at all though (I make a dish which involves smashing beef steaks to smithereens).

And Nelly, couscous is the food so nice they named it twice. You can add anything to couscous (ham, cucumber, cherry tomato, cheese, etc) and it instantly becomes an awesome meal.

I think I appreciate the ease of grabbing a cheeseburger when on the run or late at night too much to give up meat, but at home, I certainly agree that it’s easy to just eat vegies all the time.

I love stews- yours sounds delicous, especially if you get some thick, crusty bread.
