Let me start by saying, I love animals, they're delicious.
Now that that's established, there are days throughout the year (luring Great and Holy Lent, for example) where I voluntarily don't eat meat (and sometimes dairy/eggs) on certain days. By removing those key components to the diet, it is easy to default to less than ideal substitutes or not eat at all (that never turns out well); carbs and vegetable intake goes up, along with stress and wacky blood sugar. With that in mind, I am looking for suggestions for meatless and/or non-dairy meals and snacks that are complementary to the "peating" school of thought that can allow me to continue my personal spiritual practices but not adversely affect my health.
To qualify this, this adds up to a finite amount of days/meals throughout any given year. I am neither vegetarian nor vegan (or any other ...an). I just try to eat healthy and live a thoughtful life. Your suggestions would be appreciated!
