Now that Summer is in full swing we seem to be engulfed in BBQ’s, weekend trips down the shore, and mini vacations up the mountains sometimes being a vegetarian can definitely have its downsides! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve skipped out on eating cause all the BBQ had to offer was…hotdogs? Gross!
Fear not my fellow herbivores! I have a few tips that might help in beating the hunger pains when burnt flesh and nitrates aren’t your gig.
1. When traveling to a friendly BBQ, bring a veggie dish. I recently made the best Kamut Pasta Salad, tweaked with roasting the veggies. The salad came out so good even the kids were eating it!! I have to say, if it wasn't for some of Angela's recipes I would have otherwise went to bed on an empty stomach!
2. If you are going on a mini vacation where you’ll have access to a stove, fridge, grill, and whatnot-Offer to do some of the food shopping, that way you’ll be able to grab a few veggie goodies and not feel so left out when folks are chowing down on burgers and chicken legs.
3. If you’re feeling really crafty, you can bring your own pre-made veggie/soy burgers. I recently made Mean-Green Edamame Burgers that were washed down with the best Frozen Watermelon Margaritas. The entire meal left everyone full, happy, and with no regrets as it was a relatively healthy meal!I’m not going to lie, going veg isn’t always the easiest route but it has been a lot of fun and I'm really excited to be getting in the swing of it all. It's also opened up doors to a ton of new fruits, veggies, and grains that I would've otherwise passed by in the grocery store.
I’m not here to push my lifestyle on anyone. I want to share what I am going through in my life because for a very long time, I was not happy with the person that I saw in the mirror. My own struggles with weight and appearance are a constant battle. While I know I still have a long way to go, I know this is one small fight that I am happy to be victorious in!
No matter what your personal preference is I hope everyone can have a safe, happy, and healthy rest of summer. Check back soon for some sneak pictures of our latest project. Also, don’t forget to sign up for Triple Moon Magic’s Newsletter for the latest updates from your favorite sisters!
