My daughter decided: we are vegetarians
So let's do this
Nice to Meet You
We are an average family. A husband and wife, a 6 year old daughter, and two needy greedy dogs. Like most people people, we have fairly good eating habits and do our best to stay healthy... most of the time.
We are you.
We are them.
We are everybody.
We would like to take you with us, on our new (mainly) vegetarian journey.
We will be exploring this exciting world of culinary options, we had never really considered before. Tofu, beans, mushrooms, meat alternatives. There is so much out there and we cannot wait to try it all.
This being said, we did decide that we would still eat meat, when we are cooking something special for friends and family. We feel that, if we respect this rather harmful ingredient by eating it rarely, buying it from trusted suppliers, spending the appropriate amount of money on it, and turning it into a dish that will provide us and our friends with happy memories, then we can live with our choices.
It's our version of a vegetarian life. For now.
I am sure there must be other mothers out there, facing the same struggle with their children. If so, I hope that this journal will become a helpful source of information with research, recipes, and of course my daughter's feedback.
