Hello all,
So once again I come to you with an update on my
Vegetaruary. Last weekend was date night. My boyfriend couldn’t really get his
head around the idea of not eating meat. He literally has chicken or chorizo in
every meal! These are his grumpy/confused faces:

| Sorry Ryan! |
Finding a restaurant to cater for us both was easy, as Leeds
is so full of choice and flavours. Had I tried to find a good vegetarian menu
in my hometown, I feel I would struggle. Us Yorkshire folk like 'ar meat
(pronounced mayte/maet), after all.
It can be a struggle getting a table on a Saturday night in
Leeds if you haven’t pre-booked. However, after a quick online search on the
train into town, we quickly reserved a table for two at Ciao Bella near Brewery
Wharf.
It’s such a lovely place that makes you feel like you’re not
in Yorkshire. It’s so modern and classy, like I’m in Central London. Anyway,
after browsing over the menu, including the meat section more than once, I
found one of my favourite vegetarian dishes: Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni.
Now, the funny thing is, is that I love this as a Morrisons ready meal.

It is
so super tasty and this was the first time eating the dish in a restaurant. I
was far from disappointed. It was so filling, and tasty. I’m really enjoying
the different flavour combinations through cutting out meat. I feel when you
eat meat, it’s easy to get the fried/grilled/seared fillet of meat then just
stick it with chips or some form of potato. Through cutting out meat, I find myself opening up to ideas of different food combinations and I seem
to get to have all the best flavours crammed into one meal!
I think date night was a great success, and my boyfriend
doesn’t have to worry so much about choosing places that cater for us both.
Although, he doesn’t have to worry, as the month’s almost up! I will be going
back to eating meat, but I’ve definitely learnt that it isn’t a necessity to
eat it everyday.
Ta loves,
Becky
