No Meat May Continued
I can't believe that the month of May is winding down. I know many of you may be wondering how it's going and if I'm craving meat. To be honest I'm really not missing it. I haven't felt deprived or hungry. You do have to put some planning into it, but it hasn't been any harder than what I was already doing. On the nights I made a meat dish for the family, I planned it around what I was eating. There were times when something came up and I couldn't make what I had planned so I had to fall back on the vegetarian products I bought.

I will also share how I'v been feeling and some of the recipes that I"v used.
