At the Valley Vegetarian blog you’ll find my thoughts on vegetarian lifestyle, vegetarian recipes and information on local restaurants, markets and farms that support a vegetarian lifestyle. How do I define vegetarianism? There are lacto-ovo vegetarians who eat eggs and dairy products and lacto vegetarians who eat dairy products but no eggs. There are semi and demi vegetarians that eat less meat than the average person and may eat fish. There are vegans whose diet does not include animal products at all and there are fruitarians who only eat foods that don’t kill the plant and consume mainly raw fruit, nuts and grains. A pescetarian is a vegetarian who also consumes fish.

Which one am I? I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian. My recipes are mainly lacto-ovo but many are vegan and gluten-free. Nothing fancy just good, home-style cooking. See my blog’s vegan recipes on Wednesday. Many of my recipes have been previously published in the Ojai Valley News. Look also for my Ojai Valley Vegetarian Cookbook on Amazon.com.

My hope is that all vegetarian lifestyles will benefit, if only a little, from my blog. Let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing from you! Contact me at the Valley Vegetarian.
