Red Meatless in March
We've decided to eliminate red meat from our diets for the entire month of March. We're using this break from beef and pork to help us track sources of saturated fat in our diets—and to test if we feel any differently health- and energy-wise. This is not a vegan diet. We will still be eating chicken and turkey breast, eggs, and all types of seafood. If we like this pre-test, there may be a chance that we'll go completely Meatless in May (but I haven't told Chris about that yet). I'll let you know how it goes.
Also, we've started planning our weekly meals again. We used to be very diligent about this, but we let it slide a bit because of busy schedules. Here's what we're serving up this week. I promise I'll post recipes/photos if they're blog-worthy.
Monday: Chicken/Mushroom/Pea Risotto
Tuesday: Ravioli w/ Garlic Bread
Wednesday: Veggie Omelets w/ Steamed Brussels
Thursday: Chicken Enchiladas
Friday: Not sure yet - we usually go out for dinner on Fridays
Saturday: We'll be making that deep-dish pizza we enticed you all with on our Christmas card this year.

Maybe you should try a month when your meat is only organically grown Highland Beef :^) I'd be happy to send you a picture of a potential "donor".
Tom, don't worry - we support organic, grass-fed beef! But you know how I like to do little challenges like this to keep things interesting. What's the name of this donor? Someone I know? :)
