So here’s a little about us. Manuel and I got married in November of 2008 and we were proud meat eaters at the time, too! We loved to grill, cook and pair new and not so new wines with our creations. Our Best Man in our wedding had turned vegetarian months before after reading the book Eat to Live by Dr Joel Fuhrman. He had only planned on following it for the required 8 weeks, but enjoyed it so much he stuck with it. So after returning from our Itallian honeymoon, I took the plunge while Manuel studied for the bar. He was in class 6 nights a week and therefore unable to be a bad influence on me. It was seriously easier to follow than I ever imagined and slowly Manuel began to eat vegetarian meals when ever we were together. He still had meat for lunch, but was really liking the veggies at dinner. I never thought I’d see the day, but after a month he was sold and became complete vegetarian. He’s constantly raving to other about how great he feels and I’m constantly raving about hte meals he throws together for me! Now we are lifting heavier weights than we ever were, we can run further and faster and even though it was not a consideration at first, we feel like we are doing a good thing for the Earth!
So many people have asked that we share some recipes so I decided this was hte best and most fun way to do it! In this blog we will each post our recipe experiments, restaurant reviews from across the country (being that we both hate to fly, we take road trips when ever possible!), wine reviews and my experiments in gardening! We are also mommy and daddy to three dogs and two cats, Keyta and Soren the Huskies and Teek the Shih Tzu, Misty and Ally the Kitties. You might see one or two things about them on here too!
