Can I enjoy the occasional vegetarian meal? Yes. But I also want to have my steak and eat it, too. Beef is a great source of iron.<br /><br />That said, sometimes we have to make sacrifices for our health. Give up some of our favorite foods. And in those cases, it's amazing how creative we can become. This is what I'm craving, now what can I have that will satisfy that craving, yet not sabotage my healthy eating? ;)Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-73116860214200061952015-05-13T15:35:23.889-04:002015-05-13T15:35:23.889-04:00Kav, the good thing is I have to have B-12 shots m...Kav, the good thing is I have to have B-12 shots monthly because my body doesn't absorb it!<br /><br />And you are right, it is easier. Especially in my area where we have lots of Indian restaurants!<br /><br />I still stay away from pre-made or frozen foods for exactly that sodium reason.<br /><br />Thanks! J.

I have another enchilada recipe that I've been using and I near swoon whenever I make it. LOL <br /><br />I think it's easier to go vegetarian nowadays since there are so many options -- both in regular grocery stores and in restaurants. Used to be you had to hunt down ingredients that are now so readily available. Love that. Though just because it's vegetarian and organic doesn't make it low-fat or low sodium. <br /><br />And Julie, are you taking a B12 supplement? If not you should start up. It/s the one vitamin that seems to be lacking in the vegetarian diet.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-13535778238645671622015-05-13T11:30:27.839-04:002015-05-13T11:30:27.839-04:00Missy, they even tasted amazing.

Since we consume much less now, I'd be more inclined at this stage of my life. This dish looks yummy...except for the cooked spinach. I don't mind raw spinach, but cooked? Not so much. Thanks for sharing your experiences, Julie! I'm enjoying them.Dora Hiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776046195295470466noreply@blogger.com
