Happy National Vegetarian Week from Veggie-Blogs
In honor of National Vegetarian Week, i have prepared a new worksheet detailing major nutrients and the corresponding vegetable or fruit source. The idea came to me primarily to help new vegetarians stick with the diet, as it can be hard at first, if one doesn’t plan their meals correctly and or doesn’t vary their menu to satisfy the required daily amount of necessary nutrients. N.V.W starts on Monday May 21 and runs through May 27th. Visit the Vegetarian Society for more details. If my worksheet is helpful to you, please feel free to leave me a comment about it. Happy N.V.M. to all.
5 Cool Summery Things To Do in May
This month there is no shortage of events to attend and one of my favorite summer activities is to attend a groovy (yes, i said groovy) festival like this one in Memphis, that runs May 7-12, with food vendors, live music, and Elvis everyhwere, and i do mean everyhwere. Every year they feature a different country, and this time around the country of note is Spain. This fest isn’t particularly vegetarian, as Memphis is known for their barbeque, but there are a few vendors that will have rice, veggies, salads, and did i mention Elvis.
If speed is your more your game, then you can catch the Indy 500 on May 27th in Indianopolis, or watch it at a TV near you. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin there is the annual Family Kite Festival, where they launch 500 kites at the same time and in Miami, Florida you can “shake it, till you break it” at their Dance Festival which runs for 10 days starting June 20. So shake them dust bunnies off, and get out this May.

Looking for the next vegetarian festival to attend? Invite your family and bring some friends to these upcoming national veggie-food fests, where you can mingle with other non-meat eaters, pick up a few recipe ideas, taste test exotic vegetarian dishes, partake in fun carnival rides, sample new vegetarian restaurant menu items, sign-up for a cooking class, or visit and ask questions at a vegetarian nutrition booth. Much to see and do, plus good healthy fun for the whole family. I will post an upcoming vegetarian festival every week.
