The Fit Foodie: Vegetarian cooking doesn't have to be boring

This week I’m focusing on vegetarian diets and the move towards more plant based eating. I’m also sharing two of my favourite veggie recipes for you to try.

Personally, I eat meat and animal sourced food. I have a really balanced diet and I feel if I cut out meat or dairy it would make that much harder with my lifestyle (busy working-parent lifestyle!).

At the same time I notice the move towards vegetarian diets has grown hugely in recent years. I do make a conscious effort to mix up my protein sources and include a variety like fish, eggs, beans, lentils, nuts and seeds. When buying any ingredient I try to focus on quality. In Ireland we have an amazing dairy industry that is a world leader in terms in quality.
