The New Adventures of a Flexatarian Cook

So… After a week of “Goin’ Vegan” my boyfriend and I started to notice some really postive changes in our bodies and how we felt in general. So positive that we decided to stick with it for another week. Are we going vegan for good? Nope. My friend Chelsea told me about a term called “Flexatarian” which I have looked into since then. Basically it is someone who eats a mostly vegetarian/vegan diet but will eat lean meat or dairy on special occasions or when they really feel like it. A flexatarian diet really fits our lifestyle. I found this write up on the benefits of a flexatarian diet. http://www.femhealth.com/FlexatarianBenefits.html

So… just in case you were wondering there will be non-vegan recipes featured on this blog once again. The only difference is that those non-vegan recipes will also be balanced with some great vegan ones! :)

    hmmm…I think I’m a flexatarian. I’ve been eating some meat the past few years, but very seldom. I don’t cook meat at home, but I eat it out on occasion.
    Verrrrry interesting.

    I like seafood. I don’t really eat any land animals anymore. I had sushi last nite. But I think I need to decrease the fish as a percentage of my total diet and increase the veggies.
