We decided the end of August that we were going to become vegetarians. The Monkey and I watched a video (PLEASE BE AWARE THIS IS GRAPHIC!!!!) .
She has not touched meat since August 27. It took 3 days to sink into my brain. So since August 30th I have not had meat. We are what is considered Lacto-Ovo Vegetarians. We have kept dairy and eggs in our diet (but only a little amount). Frankie went a week before giving up meat.
I have noticed some changes in the way I feel. I was always bloated and gassy after eating supper. I have not had these issues since giving up meat.
I have made many different things to eat since we have started this journey. It is interesting in our house. The Boy and Lima Bean's Momma have moved in with us. They are meat eaters. Tonight the children went to KFC. The Monkey ordered a Chicken Bowl without Chicken. Needless to say she received many strange looks.
Tonight I made Slow Cooker Pesto Spinach Lasagna. Without the Pesto. Frankie and I were unsure how it would cook. He was actually a little nervous. I have to say I put it in the crock pot on low for 6 hours and it was perfect. We both loved it. The Monkey wasn't really hungry but she had a little piece and enjoyed it.
Next time I think I will add some more veggies. I will have to make a small cheese lasagna for Lima Bean's Momma.
