So, I'm trying to go meat free for 30 days...so far, so good. I've been at it since Sunday, and the only time I've been tempted was when we went to my MIL's last night, and she made slow cooked bbq beef...It was so hard to say no! I still have eggs, so this morning I had an egg burrito with a whole wheat tortilla. I can't do most of the meat substitutes, since I'm allergic to soy, so I've been having lentils, beans and eggs for most of my protien. That reminds me, I'd better get the beans on to soak while my nephew is taking a nap.

Josiah's mom has been sick for the last couple of months, so I'm watching him for a few days while she has some tests done. The doctors think she may have crohns, but they aren't sure. I've been trying to suggest that she switch to a "Cleaner" diet, because I'm sure eating fast food everyday can't be good for your system. Even while I'm watching Josiah, it's been hard to get him to eat fruits and veggies. It seems like everything he wants to eat is found in some shade of tan! Oh well, I'll just have to keep trying!

Nut butters are a good source of protein and not too bad for your diet if eaten in moderation. And low fat cheese is another option (unless you are avoiding dairy). My daughter recently decided to go vegetarian so I am learning all about meat alternatives from her!
