VegetariMAN

Welcome to my veggie bloggy thingy. I'm Ryan Chacon, a 22-year-old college guy who, much to my mother's dismay, doesn't eat things of the meaty variety. These are some of my veggie adventures.
I'm not a cook, in the sense that I don't always know the proper names of kitchen utensils, but I make an effort to learn new things and since I live with meat eaters, it's either learn to cook or starve. I choose to cook.

I'm 16 years old so my mom cooks for me and my family. I really want to become vegetarian but my mom cooks meat almost every day and the rest of my family doesn't want to give up meat. any advice?

I was in the exact same boat as you! I was actually around 16 when I went veggie. I ended up having to start cooking for myself, but it wasn’t as daunting as it sounds. You just have to be creative and plan meals in advance. When I cook, I usually cook enough for two meals so I’m not always cooking. Cooking meals for yourself will also really help you eat healthier. If that’s not really an option though, I would try easing your family into eating vegetarian one day a week. That way you can all ease into a veggie lifestyle or at least get them open up to cooking more veggie option. Hope this helps some! Thanks for your question!
