SiscoVanilla Hits The Bricks

Yes folks, as the picture above states I have gone Meatless since May 31st. I initially was going to give it a month but as we all know one month blends into two before you even realize it. So here I am entering a third month with no meat in my diet. Here are a couple of questions that I've had thrown my way as of late. How are you feeling? I'm actually feeling ok. Not as sluggish as I've felt before but also very tired from working 50+ hours a week plus 15+ hours in transportation. Miss eating meat ? Not particularly, though bacon is still the exception. That smell of bacon being cooked is bewitching 🥓🤪 Also eating out can be a bit more difficult since the options can limited. Any weight loss? No, but no weight gain either. Still hovering at the 255 mark (give or take a pound or two) but not really worrying about the scale. Ever going back to eating meat? Not sure if I can answer that question at this time. I'm just trying to take this non meat e...

Now while I'm sure there are vegetarian/vegan options, I've never had to look for any. Really now, I go to the ballpark to have hot dogs, sweet sausage with peppers and onions, pulled pork, steak sandwiches and other meat delicacies. But going Meatless in June is going to prove a challenge at the ballpark. I'm up to it. Let's see what I can find in my travels around Yankee Stadium. I took my cue from the article  Healthy fare on the menu at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field from AM New York by Meredith Deliso dated April 28, 2015. The article lists the following vegetarian/healthy options at Yankee Stadium: Keep in mind that the article was from 2015, so some of the offeringa may have changed. Here we go. Walking around the stadium, I did find a number of vegetarian offerings. Though as you can see from ...

For this month of June I've decided to go meatless. What does this mean? Very simply that I will go the entire month of June without eating any meat. I'm not giving up any dairy products but my diet will consist of vegetables, beans, grains and pasta. So far I'm holding strong with the only time where I almost salivated while coming across the smell of bacon being cooked. I looked like Mickey Mouse in the picture below down to the eyes being closed and the big Kool aid smile. 😁 One thing that I didn't keep in mind is how consuming alcohol would affect me. I'll give you an example. Monday night I went out to dinner at Pizzeria UNO after we closed the store. My co-worker Charlotte recommended that I order either the vegetarian flatbread or the Farmers Market deep dish pizza. Her girlfriend is vegetarian and its one of the things that she orders at UNO. The pizza was fine with one small issue: it wasn't enough to fill me up. I ordered the portion for one ...
