Taking a Break....

This week I took a step back, or should I say I pushed myself back from the table.  I've been trying to reevaluate my eating habits, and I have to admit that life on the road (I sound like I'm in a rock band...) does not lend itself to eating with any sort of normalcy or health.  But, having said all that, I did a pretty good job of trying some new things.  Most notably, I have gone for another week without eating meat.  I used to think that it would be absolutely impossible for me to do that, but really not so hard.  Today, I experienced my first ever "vegetable protein" hot dog.  Oh, stop your moaning!!! I'm telling you that with the mustard and onion on the thing, I would never have known the difference if I hadn't made it myself.  (In case your interested, they were "Smart Dogs" by Lightlife Foods).  Tonight for dinner I made pizza with vegetarian "sausage" crumbles and soy cheese and although it wasn't my usual pizza, it was a really incredibly good substitution.  Tomorrow I'm headed over to the farmer's market in Belmar to see what's coming in.  I like the idea of eating this way, but I know being a midwestern comfort food kinda guy, its not gonna be easy.  So, while I didn't cook anything this weekend to share with everyone, I have been working today on my top 10 zucchini recipes.  Soon enough you're neighbors will be sneaking zucchini on to your front porch at night just to get rid of it,  so I'm compiling my top 10 best ever zucchini recipes.
