Meatless Mondays

I'm not a vegetarian and probably never will be; however, I've been convinced that cutting back on meat consumption is a healthier and more environmentally friendly way of living. That being said, I decided to give Meatless Monday a try. Will it make a difference? Maybe... maybe not. All I know is that it certainly can't hurt.

Today, I had cereal and a banana for breakfast, peanut butter & jelly sandwich for a snack, spaghetti marinara & spinach for lunch, an apple, and a strawberry yogurt for dinner (I had a late lunch so I wasn't hungry for a big evening meal). Deanna volunteered to participate as well (I would never expect my kid to follow my weird eating habits). She went all tree-hugger-vegetarian on me a couple of years ago during summer camp and came home looking like Nicole Richie. Eventually, she started eating meat again: "Can we go to Five Guys? I need a burger in my life."
