So…as most of you know…my brother and his family came to Colorado over Christmas break. What you may not know is that they are vegetarians. I tried my best to be a good hostess, not only having fresh sheets and towels, but also having vegetarian food for them to eat. We made Black Bean Chili and Pasta Felix with tofu sausage (both meals were excellent if I do say so myself) and we ate out at several vegetarian restaurants.
I started thinking after they left how much healthier we had eaten while they were here. So last week I made my usual meals, but substituted my regular meat for vegetarian meat. I was very impressed with how well it tasted as well as the lack of grease. This morning we even tried the meatless bacon…unfortunately it was not a hit at our house. Does this mean we are vegetarians? No (I ate steak at Chilies the other night and it was good!), but it is nice to try and eat more healthy at home. Here is a photo of Tris making “bacon” this morning.
