Veg Pledge: The End

Our pledge to be vegetarians ended last weekend with a return to chicken and ham and the like.  But the kids didn't run from vegetarianism screaming.  They even decided that we should spend more meals meat-free, with a special vegetable of the week that we try in a few ways. I realize I have to make more sides for their lunchboxes and for dinner, more fruits and vegetables than we already have to augment the meal.  I had found a few more dishes--baked potatoes, Sumi slaw--the kids would eat.  I did like that we were all eating the same thing, even with all the cheese, and I miss that simplicity and synchronicity.  But, with a few more nights a week of veg, we'll have more of that.  So, I'd say it was a successful week!
