So today we made a family decision to scrap the meatless Monday. We have been trying this since January and we are both sick of not being able to come up with good stuff. I made some pretty good minestrone once, some okay potato soup that would have been better with bacon, and some awesome potatoes and risotto that would both have been way better with a steak... Or even a pork chop. I just can't eat a side dish for my main dish. I don't like tofu and I don't want to learn to cook it. The boys don't eat rice or potatoes and the last two pasta dishes I have made they would't touch. In fact tonight I tried a red pepper sauce with peas on tortellini. Jacob ended up eating processed cheese slices and pepperoni instead... He said his macaroni was yucky. Daniel wouldn't even try the tortellini but he would put the peas in his mouth, then take them out of his mouth and throw them on the floor. He had plain soda crackers and strawberries for supper. Jeff ate two plates, but I think it was only because he was really hungry and it was edible. So, I give up. I justify it by saying we only have meat with breakfast maybe once a month, and if there are no leftovers in the fridge I never make meat for lunch. So really, we have at least one meatless meal a day.
Blessings to all my vegetarian friends and family... I couldn't do it.
