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

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.
