Your options are...
For my meat eating friends:
♥ eat vegetarian or vegan...one meal each week
...one day each week!

Why should you Veg Out with me?
Everyone who participates in the eat vegan/vegetarian challenge and blogs about it, linking back here, will be entered into a draw to win some vegan goodies! for the vegans and vegetarians in the bunch, you will be entered into the draw if you participate in the recipe/story sharing. i'm making a list of some awesome items...but i'm going to keep it a surprise for now.

note: this idea was inspired by cute stew's "cool kids eat local" challenge that went on this past summer.
Yay for national vegetarian month! I'm a veggie and looking forward to your recipes. I'm always on the lookout for great new meals to try!
ReplyDeletethis sounds fun! I'm definitely in. I'm definitely a carnivore, but i'm going to try to do at least one veg meal a week if not more! :) I cant wait for you to post your recipes! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds fun! I am lacto-veggie but would love to finally kick my dairy habit! I will definitly be sticking around for this!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm....... I try to eat less meat... maybe I can cut out even more.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool challenge!
Oh I am def going to try to eat some vegetarian meals this month!!! Can't wait for you to share your recipes!
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm not a vegetarian 24/7, I rarely eat meat anymore because my boyfriend and his sister are vegetarians. I'm looking forward to learning some more vegetarian/vegan meals!
ReplyDeleteI put the button on my blog :)
I would love to do this, but its so hard and expensive when you have no income and your significant other eats meat. Ugh one day, I'll go vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteLittle Sugar Monster♥
Great idea! I'll definitely share my becoming vego story!
ReplyDeletethis is cool! I'm not vegan but vegetarian. I love food but wouldn't eat dead animals. I love the colors of fresh vegetables, it's one of my favourite creative actions to cook a colorful, delishious veggie-meal! Yummy... :)
ReplyDeleteLove♥

PS: thx 4 the button, I put it on my blog!
hi there! i've been a vegetarian for almost 4 years! i stopped meateating after my aunt cooking the cow tongue just as it looks like in it's mouth!
ReplyDeleteso, i justtold everyone to f*ck off because i wouldn't for all the treasures in the world eat someting like that
my fave dish is onion soup, it just consists of onion and butter! and you wouldn't say that there is onion by the the taste of the soup)

ReplyDeleteI'm a veggie for almost 17 years now. I'm so gonna a be part of your challenge! :D Starting tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteyay! support the cause! vegetarians rule the werlddddddddddd
ReplyDeleteI already eat hardly any red meat, and I eat no dairy, so I'll join this! One veggie meal every day for me!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to some tasty recipes, who knows, maybe I can get my hubby to join me too!
The boyfriend is a meat eater. I could probably go vegitarian and still eat dairy <3 but I do like turkey burgers! *nom*
ReplyDeleteI am a meat eater if there ever was one but I'm going to do this, I'm gonna do a whole week starting the 10th. =D I am really excited about this, I've been wanting to get healthier and what not and I'm sure this will help me. The button is going on the side of my blog right now. :)
ReplyDelete-k-
Great idea! I'll dig up some of my recipes and post about why I turned vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a vegetarian, but I'm joining in because I don't like cooking with too much meat and it is good to raise awareness about these issues. I'll go vegetarian for a week and post some vegetarian recipes :) Great idea!
ReplyDeleteveggie meal of today: pumpkin-risotto, yummy!
ReplyDeletethis is so exciting! been trying over last few months to slowly phase out meat completely, so I can't wait to get some new recipe ideas! :)

ReplyDeleteI love that you're doing this!
ReplyDeleteFor anyone who lives in Toronto, the Toronto Vegetarian Association has a lot of useful information that can be found here: http://www.veg.ca/content/view/26/56/
They also give out prizes every 2 months to people who fill out a short survey and tell them their vegetarian conversion stories! (By prizes I mean veggie cookbooks and money that can be spent on Veg vacations and cooking classes)
Here's the link to the Prizes page: http://www.veg.ca/content/view/27/57/
Enjoy!!

ReplyDeleteMy veggie story!
Sounds like fun to me! I have loads of veggie cookbooks - but my (by far) favourite is the "rebar modern food" cookbook! Who needs meat when you have a symphony of amazing dishes to eat?
ReplyDeleteSweet! I'm a back and forth veg. I go back to chicken a couple times a year. The Fall is my favorite time to cook veggie meals because I LOVE fall veggies.
ReplyDeleteI actually am going to share one of my recipes tomorrow. I'd love to be a part of this!
HORRAY!
I had to think about about it- but I'm in! I've been on and off the vegan train for a while (fish is my downfall), and this could be a kick in a healthier direction.
ReplyDeletehttp://rockangel.co.uk/2010/10/veg-out/ -- I'm joining in :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I've been a vegetarian for almost 10 years and it's become such a part of me that I rarely think about it anymore. Definitely not a hindrance.
ReplyDeleteFor readers who think being a vegetarian is expensive, I say nay! You don't need to eat fake meat all the time (though it is delicious!). I usually stick to beans and tofu (you can get it super cheap at Asian markets) for my protein. I'm the only vegetarian in my family and I can say that it's definitely possible!
I've been a vegetarian forever!!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely participating in this!
Hey Eycia! I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Here is my veg story- http://nearsightedowl.blogspot.com/2010/10/my-vegetarian-story.html

Ooooh, hope I'm not too late to join in! While we are not stricly vegetarian, a lot of our family and friends are, and we find ourselves sharing the most amazing vegetarian meals most nights of the week. We did a blog post a few weeks ago featuring the most amazing veggie burger recipe we have ever tasted. Hope you like it! Love Tone and Div x

ReplyDeleteI've just posted a blog entry about it :)
Great idea!
This is going to be fun to read about!
ReplyDeleteI've been a vegetarian and on-again/off-again vegan since I was 15, so I'm in. :) I've been working on being a little more on-again vegan recently, so this is a great challenge. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteit is what i do everyday girl! (: glad you are helping others make healthier and more humane decisions!
