Oh man, I had never had eggplant until today! AMAZING. AND I had never had hummus. This vegetarianism is opening new doors. I am going to search some vegetarian recipes online, as well. I am very excited. :]

There were a few times when I wanted something with meat in it, but I persevered. I’m going to stay a vegetarian because I think I’m eating healthier and my meals are more diverse.

This week!
