Considering going vegetarian.
Again.
When I was growing up I was not able to mentally tolerate meat. Everything about meat simply made me feel queasy: the smell, look and texture of raw meat. Blehk!! And then knowing it came from an animal made it even worse. I wasn’t able to eat eggs until about 5 years ago. Even today they make me cautious. I still do not eat anything on the bone—like chicken wings, T-bones, etc.
So, with that… Here is what I have cut out:
100% pork
90% seafood
75% beef
50% turkey
25% chicken
15% milk & eggs.
I’m loving hummus, tofu and eggplant. I’ve been introduced to TVP, and I’ll give it a go soon.
Feel free to share links to vegetarian recipes… I’m always looking for better, new, different recipes.

Cookbooks to look at are the "Skinny Bitch" series (three or four of them now) and "How It All Vegan" and "The Garden of Vegan". There's a Zucchini Delight recipe in one of them (I forget which one) that I throw mozzarella on top of and it makes a damn tasty dinner.
I used to think that Tofu was the most god-awful substance on the face of the Earth until I had TVP.
My wife is 80% vegetarian and her mother is raw vegan. I'm sure I can muster up some other cookbooks for you when you get tired of these.
Oh, I have a turkey meatball recipe that's awesome too. I'll email it to you. You'd never know that it's almost healthy...
