Saying goodbye to meat, well kind of

Last year the Air Force decided to throw us all for a loop and moved us down to Texas. I'm going to use that as my excuse as to why I didn't keep up with this blog. Well that and taking care of two kids is a lot harder and more time consuming than one. Can you believe that?

Over the course of the last year I watched Food, Inc., read a few food books and a ton of articles and have decided that we're done buying meat from the grocery store and restaurants. I have decided to buy beef from a local ranch that raises grass-fed, pasture-raised, antibiotic-free, growth hormone-free cattle and keep our meat consumption down to once a week. As it is right now we eat very little meat, so this transition shouldn't be too tough and the occasional pack of bacon is sure to help. I won't lie. I love bacon and have no plan to give it up entirely.

So there it is. I plan to try at least one new vegetarian recipe every week and post the review online. I'll leave up my recipes from last year in case anyone is interested in using them. Maybe I'll try to revamp them and make them meat-less. Who knows? I'm kind of crazy like that.
