Switching back to eating meat for me was mainly due to my family. We are a steak and potatoes family. Country fried steak, pork chops, bbq ribs, etc. When I went vegetarian the first time I had a hard time convincing my grandmother that no, chicken was not vegetarian, and no I can't eat fish.
Gotta love her though she tried to understand. She even got me a vegetarian cookbook for christmas in 2008.
Holidays were hard since I could barely eat anything. Even the veggies she cooked had meat in them.
So I switched back. An omnivorous diet was just easier and I could get food really cheap as opposed to eating clean healthy food that emptied my wallet pretty quick. I'm going to try and eat cheap but still eat healthy this time around. I need to go shopping soon today though. We have no vegan food in the house, much less fruits and veggies. Shopping list for today:
Unsweetened Original Flavor Rice Milk - Love this stuff! (used to hate it)
Original Soy Milk
Earth Balance Butter
Cream of Wheat
Rolled Oats
Turbinado Sugar
Soynut Butter - tried this stuff this week. It tastes amazing! I'm in love!
Bread - vegan of course
A Variety of Fruits and Veggies - enough for 2-3 days.
