First of all, I’m making this public pledge to you so that I actually do it this time. I’ve been plateauing, hard, so need to mix it up. Also, I might save the world. You may have heard recently in the news that eating meat is super bad for the environment. While delicious, the amount of resources it takes to actually put that piece of tender, perfectly cooked meat on your plate is contributing to global warming, climate change, ice melting and other science-y things.

I think I’m going to need a lot of help to stay on this healthy path, as well as ways to sneak in more veggies and less chicken nuggets into my daughter’s diet! Any ideas?
