I am having a hard time giving up cheese, though, even though I won't drink milk anymo
re. (I have switched to vanilla almond 'milk' which is actually REALLY REALLY good!) It really doesn't make sense to me that it is perfectly acceptable to drink the milk from a cow, but wouldn't everyone freak out if you drank dog's milk? But for some reason, I don't think about where cheese comes from when I eat it. Since I like cheese so much, I think it will be hard to give it up without a good substitute. Can anyone recommend a good soy/vegetable based cheese?To anyone who has made the switch from carnivore to vegetarian, I would love to hear from you! I'm going to need recipes that will satisfy my steak-loving husband!
TTFN!

Congrats on trying to make the switch to vegetarian. I became an ovo-vegetarian in July and I was a cheese-a-holic before...so I know you can do it. That first week with no cheese is pretty hard, but now I don't even miss it. I haven't tried any vegan cheese yet, but I hear the almond cheese is awesome. Best of Luck!!

ReplyDeleteThis is something I have been considering as well, going vegetarian or possibly even vegan. I had to give up dairy for a few months when my daughter was first born, as I was nursing and she was sensitive to dairy. It was SO tough. I don't drink a lot of milk and was satisfied to make my own almond milk or drink organic soy milk, it was the cheese I missed. I never did try any sort of vegan alternative, but just the other day at the store I saw one and was considering giving it a try.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, my husband is definitely a vegetarian, and I doubt he would ever consider going veg... and while he is a wonderful man, I'm not sure how supportive he would be.
Thanks for the support! My husband is a major meat-eater (he is actually going hunting with his dad next week - Ugh!) and I doubt I will get any support from him.
ReplyDeleteI haven't eaten any meat in several days now, and I don't really miss it!
