Who is the Black Friday Vegetarian?

Hi, my name is Tasha! I’m a native Californian, living in Portland, Oregon.  I am an avid skier, runner, hiker, and sometimes yogini. I love all kinds of food.  The day after Thanksgiving in 2009, I went vegetarian until January, 2010 and documented my journey on this blog.  Excluding meat for an extended period of time permanently changed the way I eat.  Even though I am now omnivorous again, I often choose vegetarian options. When I do choose meat, I try to choose meat that was raised locally, naturally, and/or sustainably. Although I am a technical omnivore, I still love documenting my healthy (and sometimes not so healthy) food adventures. 

I’m not a doctor, dietician,  health professional, or chef.  I’m just a regular person documenting my fun eats and excursions.  I always love getting insight and sharing notes with other foodies so please shoot me an email with your comments, advice or general rants and raves.

Thanks for reading!
