So today I started off with a glass of Orange Juice, and had some danish while Nina and I were at a playdate at a friend's house. For lunch I had a leftover slice of pizza. For dinner, I said Adios to one of my favorite meals... Chicken Tacos.
While I cooked the chicken I felt really terrible and I pictured a chicken with it's beak cut off, pooping on itself, squished in a cage. Not very appetizing.
I served the chicken on a whole wheat burrito with brown rice, black beans, fresh made guacamole, sour cream, and cheddar cheese.
Similarly to the cheeseburger I had last night, I tried to enjoy the taco 100%... but I couldn't. Whatever enjoyment I did have was mostly because of the guacamole... which, FYI is one of my favorite things to eat in the world!! I "heart" Guacamole!!! And I especially "heart" Cilantro!!!!
At the dinner table, the hubby and I talked further about my venture because I wanted to make sure he would be OK with it all. He told me that he definitely won't become a vegetarian... "I'm a Meatatarian!" he said, and he also requested that I won't nag him. Deal. All in all, he does understand why I'm making the switch, he'll let me try it and support me. However, he did seem shocked when I told him I wouldn't be cooking meat anymore... "Wait, what!?" He's very mournful that I won't be cooking my delicious recipes anymore... Ciao Lasagna night will be very hard for him.
Nina however, will be fine with it all I think. She didn't even eat the chicken on her plate... instead she ate all of her beans, rice, and had 3rd's of guacamole... a girl after my own heart!! From the time when Nina was 6 months old & started eating solid foods, my husband & I always joked that she was a vegetarian because she would only eat fruits & veg and never liked to eat meat. I now joke that she knew what was good for her, and was smarter than the both of us! I should of listened to her a long time ago, too bad she couldn't talk back then.
By the way, I would really love this:
This may be a bit inappropriate but those chicken tacos look yummers! Good luck momma! You've got my support 100%. Does this mean we're never going to go to Dinosaur BBQ? Boo!
ReplyDeletethey are yummers :(
ReplyDeletewell maybe I can still make them for you and I'll just leave the chicken out on mine... but it will have to be organic, free range chicken for you.
