I am trying, with some success, to reduce the amount of meat my family consumes. Like, the other night, we made stir-fry and used a couple of chicken breast filets, which amounted to less meat than one split chicken breast. That was enough to feed the four of us, as it was stretched out with rice and vegetables.
I have also been making pintos and cheese about once a week. I season the beans with bacon ends, but that is the only meat in the dish.
I'm not aspiring to become vegetarian or anything. And, truth be told, a big slab of medium cooked steak is right up there with bliss, in my opinion. My whole family pretty much agrees (though John prefers pork chops.) We love meat. Just last night, we had bacon sandwiches for dinner and as I sampled a piece I said to John, "Man, I always forget how good bacon is until the next time I have some." LOL
HOWEVER, I do want to save money and I am willing to forego my future thick slabs of beef in order to do that.
Can we share recipes for lower meat consumption. Now I don't want to go out and buy any fake meat products. No TVP or Tofu or vegie burgers. When I want a hamburger, I'll eat a hamburger. I'm not trying to REPLACE meat, I'm just trying to reduce it.
Any thoughts?
Oh! One of my favorite quotes. (I hope it doesn't offend anyone; I think it's hilarious):
