I met Jamie for lunch at Chipotle for my first official vegetarian meal. I need to go to the store and I figured Chipotle would be a really easy way to get started. Plus, if I just order chips and guac with it, I can actually get 2 meals out it- score! So, I ordered a Vegetarian Fajita Burrito Bowl, but almost blundered on my very first day when the kid asked if I wanted black beans on it and I said I'd prefer pinto beans. He informed me that their pinto beans have meat in them... News to me! Okay, I'll take black beans.
I think I'm going to learn a lot about food that I didn't know before. In a google search trying to find out what fast food places offer a veggie burger, I learned that McDonald's adds sugar and beef juice to their fries?? Weird. I had no idea I'd be giving up McDonald's fries... it's a fried potato, a vegetable. Maybe I should rethink this whole thing! Just kidding. I don't give up that easy. And, Panda Express steams all of their vegetables with chicken stock. Nothing at Panda Express is truly vegetarian. Okay, cross that one off the list.
I bought a couple of Vegetarian cookbooks and Cuisinart Blender/Food Processor Duet. I'm excited to really get started.
