Meatless Meals for the Fam Bam

Cooking Meatless Meals is a work in progress for our family. I know I could survive without beef and Pork (I did for around two years pre-pregnancy), but DH, I doubt. His carnivorous ways are very far away from being able to survive without meat. And why not, they had their own farm years back and he was just raised that way – being a meat lover!

So the closest thing to going meatless is to have a meatless day a week and just one or two days with red meat, and in between have white meat like chicken breast or fish.
