Getting Your Protein #meatless

I am a Pescatarian and it has been nearly 7 years now :) . I used to find it hard to find my source of protein when I came abroad, but I found my way, and it is a whole lot easier than when I started. I thought I might share the many ways both you and I can get our protein without the involvement of meat. And for those meat-lovers, you are welcome to join the party and add more to your meals!

I kept it short and straight forward because I know we have places to be and people to see.

Right.... let us get straight into it.
