Meat lover?! Vegetarian?! Vegan?!...I choose to be Steem - HAPPY!

Hi steem friends!

My name is Margarita, 32 year old building engineer (building huge factories like this)

fashion - decor designer, foodie and mother of two kids (8 years and 8 months). 

Born and live in Estonia – small Baltic country. So I decided to live once again  I would like to share with you my journey through different eating habits, lifestyles and habits to who I am now. 

During my study in university, I eat what I had…literally anything, just to function and be able to move. When I got married, I started to think more about what we eat; making meal plans, discovering and collecting new recipes while travel. I think it was fun time. 

During my last pregnancy, I could not eat meet, I had to, so I did, but it was so so hard. After a giving birth, I just quit to try and became a VEGETARIAN. Therefore, a new bunch of recipes, cooking books, information flouted my brain. It was interesting period of about couple of months. I can say, it gave our family many new favorite dishes, like mushroom quiche! Moreover, I really did not want to eat meet! 

Consuming a lot of information about vegetarians, I learned more and more about plant based diets and plant lifestyle. Then the idea about VEGANISM crossed my mind. Why not? So about 4 months ago, I became vegan! Moreover, a new bunch of information exploded my mind! Vegan…raw vegan…raw till four…80/10/10….high carb vegan…OMG! 

 It some kind of fun for the first time, and it is summer time, and many fruits here (in the winter we have only cabbage and carrots). Then I started to notice, that I am bored! Even if I had a lot of different raw vegan, desserts (like nut cheesecake without cheese). I just could not eat another banana, feeling myself like a monkey, just could not! Must make a remark, that during the vegetarian/vegan period I had not had any wine or what so ever alcohol. Pure healthy lifestyle! 

So last week I went to the market, and came home with fresh milk, ham, eggs and young wine.  Made some fresh herb cheese.  Made a nice worm ciabatta…sliced it, covered with olive oil, fresh tomatoes, home cheese and baked it for 10 minutes. It was the best dinner in the last year! So, who am I?  Vegetarian? Vegan? Meat lover? 

 I definitely discovered many new interesting products, like chia seeds; discovered new meat free recipes that are awesome: hummus, falafel… 

 In the end, I choose to be HAPPY!  

Not a vegetarian, not a vegan, not a meat lover! Just a human, who can eat anything – ecologically clean and fresh! Love yourself, nourish and cherish your body with beautiful food and wine the earth has gave us!
