New Game!
We just finished an 8-day trip filled with rich foods and tasty treats and our fridge is completely empty. So, we’ve decided to start a new project, which we will call “The Veggie Experiment”. Jes wanted to try eating like a vegetarian for one week. Yep, you read it correctly.
For this week, here are the rules:
1) no beef, chicken, or pork
2) no fish
3) no eggs
Things that are ok to eat this week: dairy (yay cheese!), things made with eggs (like pasta).
Today was Day One and we went to Trader Joe’s to stock the fridge. We bought lots of stuff that Jes would never try before but I was looking forward to trying lots of new items. For dinner we had cheese quesadillas, black beans (Jes hates beans), salsa, and guac. Yum.
In the next few weeks we’ll add one of the forbidden items and work our way back up to being omnivores again. It’ll start with adding eggs, then fish, and then the meats. I’m curious to see how bacon tastes after this is over. Does anyone want to join us?!
