It is July 2nd, and I am beginning a journey into a week long diet that excludes all meat and egg products, as well as limiting fish to every other day. I plan on understanding more about what products I rely on, and what ingredients I can use instead. Eggs are in a lot of processed foods, however in my week diet I will be avoiding processed foods as much as possible.

7 Days have passed since I switched to a vegetarian, fish every other day, egg allergy and minimally processed food diet (Might need to shorten the name of this diet…).
While I am craving a hamburger right now, I learned a lot about my regular eating habits, and how I need to put less focus on meat. Fish was a very healthy alternative to meat and eggs, as well as being more sustainable. I will continue to eat more fish in my diet, and try to substitute meat for other protein alternatives such as beans and eggs.
Teriyaki Tuna Steaks
Ingredients
1/2 cup mirin
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 4 oz tuna steaks
1. Combine all ingredients except tuna and reduce until slightly thickened.
2. Cover steaks in sauce in a resealable bag, and place in fridge for 2 hours. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before cooking to temp fish.
3. Grill each side for 4 minutes for medium rare tuna, and 8 minutes per side for well done tuna.
