So a fun fact about myself is that I’ve been a vegetarian for almost 4 years now. I’ve always thought about becoming a vegetarian long before I became one. And the hardest part was knowing what to cook. I scoured the internet for recipes and was pleasantly surprised at how many tasty vegetarian recipes there were. For example, I’ve made a delicious vegetarian lasagna that my Meat eater fiance’ Chris says cannot tell is without meat.
