I love fish and veggies and fruits and so it seems obvious that I should be a pescetarian. I know, it sounds weird, but it just means that I choose to eat things that grow from the Earth along with fish/seafood. No red meat, foul, or "the other white meat". Tonight is the first moment since my week-old decision was made, that I am authentically excited to identify with my new self-slapped-on label because it's forced me to think more creatively about food choices.
I made Perch with a peach/habanero glaze and veggies (lots of them) in a tomato base. It's become a standard formula: fish and veggies all dressed up in various spices. Tonight's medley was really quite tasty. I'd put it up against any steak and potato dish. Choosing a meal low in energy concentration and high in nutritional quality is a step toward strength, balance, and physical freedom. One meal at a time.
I'm curious, what spurred your decision? I, too have become pescatarian. I recently read The Kind Diet and Skinny Bitch and can't even stomach the idea of "land mammal meat" any more...BLAH!! Ironic, growing up with a meat-and-potatoes dad! Do you still consume dairy? You'll need to share some of your new menu items! This week we are doing Shrimp Jambalaya (as opposed to the smoked sausage variety). Kudos and good luck in your new, healthy lifestyle!!
