So the official start date for our experiment is tomorrow. However, I have been trying to cut out meat this week to see what I am getting myself into. Honestly? It hasn't been too hard.
the bummer is I have to give up my most favorite salad dressing, because it has anchovies in it. But if that is the only thing I miss, I think I will be ok.
I think the hardest thing so far, is the lack of convenience foods. I can't run to the deli for chicken breast and take care of all my lunches for the week. I need to make my food and plan it out a little more. This will probably be where the "challenge" comes into play. Especially for mid week lunches when we run out of everything in the house. Not to mention, of course, all the cooking.
I love to bake, but cooking? It is more of a chore. J is the better cook in this family. But I am doing my due dilligence on researching good recipes making sure our diet is balanced and we aren't eating mac and cheese all the time. This might be good for me to learn to like cooking more. Or maybe not!
