The Loose Vegetarian

A bit about me:

 

My name is Brit and I am an Academic Librarian who enjoys yoga, food, travelling and sailing. 

 

Why I started this blog:

 

I wanted to write this blog to chronicle my journey to vegetarianism. I have decided to make this lifestyle change and think others may be interested as well, since I am going from complete omnivore to mostly herbivore. 

 

I already enjoy posting pictures of my food creations on Instagram and have been asked why I don't have a food blog to go along with it. So I thought, why not start a food blog as I start my journey.

 

I chose the name 'Loose Vegetarian' because I want to make it clear that I probably will never be 100% vegetarian (although you never know), but would strive to be 'mostly' vegetarian. And when I do eat meat/fish I will strive to only eat meat from animals that are treated properly, locally raised and not pumped full of antibiotics and growth hormones.  

 

The reasons I will be a "loose vegetarian" are:

 

a) I love meat and so will want to indulge in it on occasion

b) I will still be making meat dishes for others

c) I don't want to be an annoying guest by making people cook separate meals for me

d) I don't want to be limited to vegetarian dishes at restaurants that don't have a good selection

 

I hope you will enjoy my blog and that I can inspire others either to choose a healthy lifestyle or just to make some of the recipes from my blog!

 

What you will find in this blog

 

The focus will be on vegetarian and vegan foods, however I still will include some non-vegetarian dishes that I really love. 

 

I will also have a page of photographs I have taken and will randomly post about non-food related things, such as travel and yoga!

 

Enjoy!
