One Month Commitment

I challenged the Mister last month : Less or NO MEAT (land animal meat) at all for the month of February. He said YES! I thought he was kidding because about 2 years ago I asked him the same thing. His answer was a straight NO! Yna stopped eating meat around September of 2008. I thought the rest of us should follow. It can be time consuming to cook 2 different food every meal---for the No-meatarian and for the carnivorous.

Last Sunday at the Asian store.
Jay: Why are you getting corned beef?
Me: ...because you like it!
Jay: I thought there's no meat for this month?
Me: Oh!

You guys, he is serious this time! I have been cooking mostly veggies, and occasionally fish for over a week now. Jason doesn't like it at all. He loves his chicken. The boy has no choice but join the bandwagon.

The other night, we had Fish Soup with Lemon Grass and Ginger. The kids don't like fish unless it's fried so they ate soy tenders. You can not tell the difference though.




Last night, I whipped up Broccoli Cheddar Soup (Click here for recipe. I used soy milk for this recipe.)


and Sauteed Eggplant and Squash with Shrimp in Shrimp paste.


I have no idea what to cook for dinner today but definitely you all have an idea. It's going to be veggies again.

I would definitely consider to have less meat for a lifetime. Don't tell my boy. ;)

Here's to a healthier beginning! Cheers!
