My recent adventures with food

So as of late, I have been looking very heavily into the vegetarian lifestyle. I don't usually eat much meat anyway, unless of course, it is Red Robin. I can't seem to shake that ol dirty bird.

I don't think I would really even want to title it vegetarian because I feel like if I want to eat some fish, or even a burger, I feel as though people would be like,
"OH, but I thought you were a Vegetarian"?
"Oh well I thought you should mind your own Bizz Nass"

So I really dont' want to classify it as something, but this is generally what I am leaning towards. Like I mentioned in recent posts, I have been captivated by the movie "Food, Inc" and just disgusted by the food industry. If you don't want the crap you are eating to be ruined...then I suggest don't watch that film. It will....or should, change your perspective. I have made the switch to cage free eggs, vegetarian fed, the whole works.

Also, if I do eat beef, it is grain fed, not corn fed.

I am definitely not perfect, and am far from knowing all there is to know. I just do my best to try and eat right, hope to lose some pounds along the way, and feel better about my health in general.

This has given me a whole new perspective and whole large list of things to try recipe wise. I generally DO NOT like veggies, so this has been an adjustment. I would rather eat carbs and fruits..nom nom. Probably not the healthiest diet.

I have also been shopping at the farmers markets, trying to find the best and freshest produce and such.

Now on to a few of my creations as of late:

I bought some salmon from the farmers market, caught that morning. I had NEVER cooked salmon on my own before, so was excited to try.

I greased a piece of foil, laid down some onions and lemon slices, then placed the salmon on top.

I then placed some of the onions and lemon slices on top of the salmon as well. Rubbed some garlic on the salmon, and then sprinkled with some Rosemary and Dill.

I BBQed the salmon in the foil for about 15 minutes until it flaked. I had some long grain rice that I also sprinkled with some dill.

I also baked some red potatoes, by coating them in Olive oil and salt. Baking at 400 degrees, for 45 minutes. **Make sure to poke holes in the potatoes with a fork so they dont explode in the oven**

When the potatoes were done, I had some green onion from the farmers market, cut up, and tossed that with the potato as well. Yum!!

Here is a picture of the delish din din.



Pretty filling, and the salmon had really great flavor. Not bad for my first try!
