It has been about a month since I have eaten any meat. I am still occasionally eating eggs and cheese so I have not completely crossed the vegan threshold. Cooking for my family of carnivores has been a little harder than I thought it was going to be. I am trying to incorporate what I am eating with what they are eating. So cooking meat separate and then adding it in for them as part of the finished product- This worked really well with a Spanish rice and beans dish I made recently.
As a family we have decided to send summer out with a bang. We are planning a four day camping trip to Montauk state park.We are really excited and so are the kids. If you are a parent of teenagers you know what a big deal it can be to get them excited about anything that has them leaving electronic devices behind. This has really been my husbands deal and he wants to make sure he gets to do it before his surgery and the possibility of not being able to do something like this again.
Anyway I digress. My husband, the ultimate carnivore, has been doing most of the planning of our trip. He has even been setting up menus- which I thought was interesting since at home he only cooks if he can grill or wants eggs for breakfast. Oh and ramen noodles- which I refuse to cook because that is not food. So my loving husband "forgot" that I wasn't eating meat and didn't have anything but potatoes on his shopping list for me to eat. This is going to be an interesting trip.
