i never thought i'd be one, a vegetarian. but for the past 3 weeks now, i haven't eaten meat. i, who like hotdog, fried chicken & burgers so much. i, with the big appetite, who used to not get full w/o meat & extra rice. ok, yday i took half a spoonful of sisig from sylvia's plate but that's all the meat i ate recently. i've been eating healthful food like fruits & veggies. i eat a lot of salad nowadays. i also eat fish (except cultured bangus & tilapia), egg (once in a while),at least 8 glasses of water daily; no msg, less salt, less rice, no sweets except for pistachio ice cream last week. the shakes i drink do not have sugar, except for the melon shake i ordered last week, which the waiter mistakenly gave to me with sweetener.
now here's a sample of what i eat nowadays. so simple & yummy, a must-try. i got it from a salad cookbook but i altered it a bit to my liking.
pasta salad
cook spag noodles in water with garlic & oil. drain then pour cold water & drain again. set aside.
saute garlic & onion in little water (i/o of oil) then add canned tuna flakes minus the oil & water. (you may substi any fish flakes. i tried tuyo flakes once, sarap ;p)
prepare the ff. in a bowl: olive oil (or the oil & water from the tuna), salt, pepper, grated cheese, basil (pref. fresh. buy potted plants. i bought mine for 3 for 100) & mix well.
slice tomatoes, carrots & bell pepper (last 2 are optional. you may blanch carrots & bell pepper with hot water used in cooking pasta if you like). mix everything together & toss well. you may top with grated cheese.
this is my lunch today, ang sarap. try it ;p
